President Marcos received public well-wishes from his wife and first son as he celebrated his 66th birthday on Wednesday, Sept. 13.

At precisely midnight, First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos posted a caption-less photo of her and the President on her Facebook page. In the picture, she called him his "soulmate."

"Wishing my soul mate a very happy 66th birthday," the graphic read, accompanied by two kissmark emoji.

Meanwhile, their first-born, Ilocos Norte First District Representative Sandro Marcos, penned a longer birthday message wherein he expressed confidence that his "pop" was the best choice to handle the country's problems.

"I know and have seen how having the weight of the country on your shoulders has proven to be extremely stressful, but I will always be of the belief that I can't think of anyone better than you to handle the problems we face," he wrote.

"Please know we will always be here for you and continue to support the reforms and plans you have for our country. It will always be a privilege to be able to call you my dad. Love you pop! Have a great one," he added.

Both the Office of the President (OP) and the Presidential Communications Office (PCO) likewise greeted the President via Facebook.

"We thank you for your leadership and wish you joy, health, and success in all your endeavors as you continue to guide the Philippines toward a more prosperous future," the OP wrote.

"Patuloy nawa kayong gabayan ng ating Maykapal para gampanan ang tungkulin para sa isang Bagong Pilipinas (We hope that the Lord will guide you so you can fulfill your duties for a New Philippines)," the PCO said.

Meanwhile, the PCO said local government units and national government agencies celebrated Marcos' birthday by organizing events for the environment and the poorest of the poor under the "LAB For All: Lingap at Alagang Bayanihan" initiative.

The activities included tree-planting, medical and dental missions, feeding programs, milk-letting activities, and other civic missions and programs across the country.

Volunteers and civil servants have planted at least 25,000 seedlings in 45 locations as of Wednesday afternoon. Bayanihan for Medical and Dental missions were held at 69 locations for about 62,130 beneficiaries. LAB for All partners from 31 provincial, city, and municipal governments and 70 partners of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office helped in the medical and dental initiative.

Likewise, Bayanihan for Feeding Program initiatives were launched in 23 locations for 28,500 beneficiaries. Milk-letting activities were conducted in three areas for 150 beneficiaries. Partners in government offices such as various local government units, DOTr Philippine Ports Authority, and non-government organizations have also begun feeding programs.

In addition, a Coastal Clean-Up Activity was conducted by 30 volunteers at Hinoba-an Negros Occidental.

The other initiatives were:

• Donation of sewing machines to 43 beneficiaries in Malolos, Bulacan
