Marcos lauds birthday girl Sara’s hard work, love for country

PRESIDENT Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. lauded Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte’s hard work and love for the country, as the latter turned 46 on Friday.

“Happy Birthday, Inday Sara! Pinalalakas ng ‘yong sipag at pagmamahal sa bayan ang ating mga kabataan at kaguruan. Ipagpatuloy lang natin ito para sa isang matatag na edukasyon sa ilalim ng Bagong Pilipinas,” he said in a Facebook post.

In a separate Facebook post, the Presidential Communications Office (PCO) wished Duterte good health and success in life.

The PCO also thanked the Vice President for serving the Filipino people, especially the youth and the teachers.

“Maligayang kaarawan, Vice President Inday Sara Duterte, mula sa Presidential Communications Office! Dalangin namin ang iyong mabuting kalusugan at tagumpay sa paparating na mga taon. Kami ay taos-pusong nagpapasalamat sa iyong paglilingkod sa bayan, lalo na sa mga mag-aaral at gurong Pilipino,” the PCO said.

Duterte, also a lawyer, is the country’s third female vice president and the youngest to have been elected to the position.
