The Presidential Communications Office said President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. sent his cordial birthday wishes to Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim on Sunday.
“To my dear friend, Prime Minister Anwar, I am so happy to be able to greet you on your special day. We have known each other for some years now. Even before we assumed our roles as fellow leaders in ASEAN,” said Marcos in his message.
“Our friendship has helped make the challenges of leadership more bearable. Sometimes I dare say, even enjoyable. For me, you are more than just a neighbor in ASEAN, you are a trusted friend with whom I share many fond memories.”
Recognizing their respective leading roles in the region and the international community, Marcos commended Anwar's dedication to Malaysia.
Furthermore, their shared vision, challenges, and success were a source of inspiration to continue navigating the future of their respective nations.
Marcos thanked the Malaysian Prime Minister, citing opportunities, ideas, and the knowledge they shared in steering the Philippines and Malaysia towards peace and prosperity.
“On a personal note, I want to emphasize how much I value the bonds that our families share. Your wisdom, kindness, and strength have been invaluable to me. And I look forward to more years of friendship and cooperation," Marcos concluded. — DVM, GMA Integrated News
