FMJ greets VP more birthdays to come
By Nidz Godino
"Happy Birthday, Inday Sara…pinalalakas ng 'yong sipag at pagmamahal sa bayan ang ating mga kabataan at kaguruan," President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. greeted Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte-Carpio on her birthday as rumors of their political coalition breaking up persist.
In Facebook post, Marcos praised Sara for her service to students and teachers and urged her to continue working with him to strengthen education sector.
"Ipagpatuloy lang natin ito para sa isang matatag na edukasyon sa ilalim ng Bagong Pilipinas," he added.
Marcos was making reference to Department of Education's (DepEd) Matatag curriculum, and stands for Make curriculum relevant to produce job-ready, active and responsible citizens; take steps to accelerate delivery of basic education services and provision facilities; take good care of learners by promoting learner well-being, inclusiveness learning and positive learning environment and Give support for teachers to teach better.
Presidential Communications Office, government's lead communication arm, also recognized Sara's efforts in DepEd.
"We pray for your good health and success in coming years…we sincerely thank you for your service to the nation, especially to Filipino students and teachers," PCO said in separate Facebook post.
Marcos and Sara won by landslide during 2022 elections under UniTeam alliance but recent events have triggered speculations that coalition already has cracks.
Late last year, House of Representatives, dominated by Marcos' allies, stripped agencies led by Duterte of confidential funds, prompting her father, former president Rodrigo Duterte to accuse chamber of being "most rotten" institution.
Lawmakers denied allegation and adopted resolution upholding legislative chamber's honor and integrity.
Elder Duterte has also claimed Marcos is drug addict, allegation the President just laughed off.
In April, First Lady Liza Marcos caused political shockwaves when she revealed her disdain for Duterte. In a television interview, Liza said she was hurt when she saw the Vice President on TV laughing while her father was making fun of Marcos and even calling him bangag or stoned during rally in Davao City.
Reacting to Liza's remark, Duterte said First Lady's personal feelings had nothing to do with her mandate as government official.
In recent interview, Marcos said Liza cannot be blamed for reacting that way but maintained issue would not affect his working relationship with Sara.
"I think, Sara, also, as wife, understands how the First Lady feels when you have to sit there and listen to these attacks that are being made against your husband," the President told reporters last April.
Office of the Vice President (OVP) also greeted its boss yesterday. "Happy birthday, VP Sara! On this special day, we honor your unmatched dedication and service to our country," OVP said in statement.
"Together with millions of Filipinos, we wish you greater strength, wisdom and inspiration to continue your advocacies for God, our country and the Filipino families," OVP added.
OVP also thanked the Vice President for her "unwavering dedication and service" to the agency.
"Thank you very much for your unwavering dedication and service…may you live long Mabuhay po kayo!"
OVP through its Disaster Operations Center distributed relief bags of non-food items to 2,000 families affected by floods in six barangays in Lucena City, Quezon hardest hit by Typhoon Aghon.
