First Couple greets Imelda Marcos on her 95th birthday

President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. on Tuesday expressed gratitude to his mother, former First Lady Imelda Marcos, for teaching them to be kind and compassionate as she celebrates her 95th birthday. 

President Marcos posted a collage on his social media account to greet his mother, who also served as Ilocos Norte representative.

“Happy HAPPY birthday mom. Thank you for teaching me and your grandchildren to be gracious, kind and compassionate,” Marcos said in the caption. 

First Lady Louise “Liza” Araneta-Marcos also greeted the Marcos matriarch as she also thanked her for being a second mother. 

“You are and always will be my first lady,” the First Lady said.

Later in the day, the Presidential Communications Office said there would be a celebration for the former First Lady but it is a “quiet celebration with family and friends.” — Anna Felicia Bajo/KBK/RSJ, GMA Integrated News
