President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. said his birthday wish has always been the same: to see a Philippines where no Filipino suffers from hunger.
Speaking to reporters in Cambodia on Tuesday, Marcos, who turns 68 on September 13, shared that this wish has remained constant since he first entered politics.
“Hindi naman nagbabago ‘yung mga birthday wish ko mula noong simula hanggang ngayon na naging Pangulo ako. At iyon na nga, maging maayos ang buhay ng bawat Pilipino, na maituloy natin lahat ng ating proyekto para matulungan lalong-lalo na ‘yung mga mahihirap,” the President said.
He emphasized that his greatest aspiration is to achieve a hunger-free Philippines, underscoring that this vision has guided his leadership.
“At ganoon pa rin hindi talaga nagbabago: Sana maabot natin ‘yung aking – at aabutin natin – ‘yung aking pinapangarap na wala ng gutom na Pilipino,” Marcos added.
The President said his birthday wish is not just personal but a reflection of his broader dream for the country’s future.
