Bongbong, Liza comfortable despite flu symptoms -Palace

President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. and First Lady Louise ''Liza'' Araneta-Marcos were comfortable despite having flu-like symptoms, the Presidential Communications Office said Friday.

The President and the First Lady continued to experience flu-like symptoms, but their condition had notably improved.

''Their vital signs remain stable, and they remain in a comfortable state. Both have received advice to continue their prescribed medications, ensure adequate fluid intake, and prioritize rest,'' the PCO said.

The PCO meanwhile appreciated the public's concern and well wishes for the First Couple.

Marcos would resume full public engagement soon per his physician's clearance.

Following their foreign trips in the previous weeks, the First Couple had developed flu-like symptoms, with the President forced to cancel his events in the succeeding days.

Among his canceled events was Thursday's presidential luncheon hosted by the Foreign Correspondents Association of the Philippines. — DVM, GMA Integrated News
