Bongbong remembers dad Ferdinand Sr., his lessons on Father's Day 2026

President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. on Sunday, Father's Day, remembered his father, former president Ferdinand Marcos Sr., and the lessons he taught him.

"Remembering my father today. No matter how much time passes, there are some lessons a son never outgrows," Marcos wrote on Facebook.

"My father taught me the value of duty, the importance of perseverance and the conviction that our lives are measured by what we give of ourselves in service to others," he said.

"For those lessons and for his love, I remain deeply grateful," he added.

Marcos then honored all fathers, saying: "On this Father’s Day, I honor not only my father but all fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers and father figures whose love, sacrifice and presence help shape the lives of their children and the future of our nation."

First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos and their children Sandro, Simon and Vincent meanwhile on Sunday honored Marcos and issued an “Official Presidential Father’s Day Executive Order”, "ordering" the chief executive to rest, have no stressful meetings, and have mandatory dessert. —KG, GMA News
