MANILA — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Wednesday penned a short tribute to express his appreciation for his mother, Imelda, who is celebrating her birthday.

Marcos Jr. turned to social media to greet the former first lady, who turned 96 years old on July 2, 2025.

“Happy 96th birthday! Your strength, grace and unwavering love continues to guide and inspire us every day.”

“We are so grateful for you --- now more than ever.” he said.

In a separate social media post, First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos thanked her mother-in-law “for the love and the quiet courage you continue to share with all of us.”

"Happy 96th birthday, Mama Meldy! Your strength and elegance have touched so many lives -- especially ours,” Araneta-Marcos said.

“Wishing you endless joy and good health,” she added.

The nonagenarian Marcos survived a bout with pneumonia in 2024 and has since been attending various events.

Aside from several social functions in Malacañang, the former first lady recently accompanied her eldest daughter, Sen. Imee Marcos, during her proclamation as senator after the 2025 midterm elections.
