President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. was among those who greeted actress-singer Toni Gonzaga on her birthday last Friday, Jan. 20.
It was Toni's husband, director Paul Soriano, who made public the effort, sharing on Twitter a video of PBBM greeting Toni.
The president said, "Happy birthdays to such an always inspiring lady, our very talented ultimate multimedia superstar, great mother and wife, my inaanak, Toni Gonzaga-Soriano. Balita ko, ipinagdiriwang mo ang iyong 20th year sa showbiz industry kaya naman nais kong ipaabot, hindi lamang ang aking pagbabati kung hindi ang aking taos pusong pasasalamat.
"You're one of the strongest, most God-fearing women I know. Hindi ka magpapatinag sa kabila ng mga batikos. Ang suporta mo ang isa sa mga naging matibay na sandigan ko sa aking paglakbay sa pagkapangulo.
"On your birthday, I would like to thank you for all that you have done to help me. Thank you for everything that you do. You are a blessing to me and to us all. May you continue to inspire people with your talent, your grace, your strength in many, many more years to come. I'm always here for you. Happy, happy birthday, Toni."
