MANILA – First Lady Louise Araneta-Marcos marked Father’s Day on Sunday with a touching tribute to President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., expressing gratitude for his dedication as a husband and father while playfully “ordering” him to take a day off.

Sharing her greeting on social media, the First Lady noted that while their children know him as “Pops” and the country addresses him as “Mr. President,” she feels the most blessed to simply call him “mine.”

“Thank you for your strength, your patience, your terrible jokes and your big heart,” she wrote.
