MANILA — President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. thanked the people who extended their birthday greetings as he highlighted the government’s expanded services for needy Filipinos during his birthday week.
“Gaya ng nakagawian, kapag birthday week ay lalong mas malawak ang inaabot ng aming mga programang pangserbisyo,” President Marcos said in his latest vlog on Sunday.
On his birthday, President Marcos extended various forms of assistance to farmers and fisherfolk, and distributed Certificates of Land Ownership Award (CLOAs) to farmers.
President Marcos also led the delivery of ambulances to various municipalities.
The President also ordered the Department of Health (DOH) to cover the costs of all inpatient, outpatient, and emergency services in 22 public hospitals nationwide through “Zero Billing.”
“Ako po’y nagpapasalamat sa lahat ng nakaalala at bumati sa aking kaarawan noong isang lingo,” the President said.
“Marami pa akong hindi nareplyan na mga greetings pero nababasa ko po lahat iyan. Mula sa inyong mga birthday card, mga sulat, pati na rin sa mga comment section, maraming salamat sa inyo,” he added. (PND)
