President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. on Saturday greeted his eldest son, Ilocos Norte 1st District Representative and House Majority Leader Sandro Marcos, on his 32nd birthday with a heartfelt message that ended on a playful note.
In a social media post, the President expressed pride in Sandro’s journey from childhood to public service:
“We are so proud of the good man you have become. Who would have known that our little child would grow into such a kind, industrious and talented man?”
He then added a lighthearted remark that resonated with many Filipino families:
“On a final note… Where’s my apo?”
The post quickly drew amused reactions from netizens, who noted that the President’s comment mirrors a familiar sentiment among Filipino parents eager for grandchildren.
Sandro, the eldest child of President Marcos and First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos, was elected representative of Ilocos Norte’s 1st District in 2022 and currently serves as House Majority Leader.
