In a heartfelt message, the president described her as his "first and only lady" and a tireless partner in his life and work.
The greeting was shared on the president's official social media accounts, accompanied by a photo collage that highlighted the First Lady's various roles.
The photos showcased her as a loving mother to their three sons, a professional lawyer and academic, and an active First Lady dedicated to serving the public.
In his post, President Marcos lauded his wife's steadfast partnership and unwavering support. "You have been my partner through everything—a loving mother to our boys, a brilliant lawyer and teacher and now a tireless First Lady who gives so much of herself to others," he wrote.
He concluded the message with a warm expression of gratitude and love, saying, "Thank you for all that you do and all that you are. We love you very much."

Beyond her role as First Lady, Liza Araneta-Marcos is an accomplished lawyer and a former academic. She met President Marcos in New York City in 1988, and they were married in Italy in 1993.

She has also spearheaded the renovation of historical structures within Malacañang Palace to transform them into new tourism assets. Her birthday celebration is reportedly a quiet, private affair with family.
The birthday tribute comes at a time when the First Lady has taken on a more visible role in public service, often accompanying the president in official engagements and championing her own advocacies.
Her background as an academic and a legal professional has shaped her approach to her duties, earning her recognition as a hardworking and dedicated public servant.
Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. is the 17th President of the Philippines, elected in May 2022 with a historic majority vote. He is the son of former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr., who ruled the country from 1965 to 1986. Before his presidency, Marcos Jr. served in various public offices, including as governor of Ilocos Norte, congressman, and senator.
Recently, PBBM expressed his "very angry" reaction after discovering a P55-million flood control project in Baliuag, Bulacan, was a "ghost" project. The project, a 220-meter river wall, was officially listed as 100% complete and fully paid for, but the president found no signs of construction during his inspection. The government is considering filing economic sabotage charges against the contractors and individuals involved in the fraudulent scheme. Marcos revealed the tip about the fraudulent project came from the public through his "Sumbong sa Pangulo" website, a platform for citizens to report government malpractices.
It can be recalled that during his State Of the Nation Address, PBBM issued a direct order to boost mental health services for Filipino youth in public schools, emphasizing the urgent need for more school counselors. The President's directive targets the escalating issues of bullying and emotional challenges among students, recognizing the need for government intervention beyond academic assistance. A new nationwide initiative, the "YAKAP Caravan," was announced, offering free medical services and aiming to facilitate early detection of psychological stress among students and teachers. President Marcos revealed a PHP 1 billion allocation for over 300 new Barangay Child Development Centers, a crucial step in addressing the long-standing shortage of daycare facilities across the country.
