Cagayan de Oro 2nd district Rep. Rufus Rodriguez (Facebook).

Cagayan de Oro 2nd district Rep. Rufus Rodriguez loves his wife Nenen. Having a sweet tooth, he loves cake as well.

Luckily, it was Mrs. Rodriguez's birthday on Friday, April 28, meaning there was probably cake around the house.

"Happiest birthday to the love of my life, Nenen! 🧡🧡🎉," the veteran congressman wrote in a Facebook post.

"Please allow me to eat cake today hehe love you mommy 🎂," Rep. Rodriguez would hilariously add at the end of his message.

But sandwiched between these sentences is a heartfelt birthday greeting to the woman that he called "the light of our life and the beating heart of the family".

"Your love, support, and generosity inspire me every day, and I am beyond grateful to have you by my side. Regine and I would never become the people we are today if not for you," he said, referring to their daughter.

"Nen, you are my answered prayer every day and I am eternally grateful to the Lord for that. We love you more than words can express," the Mindanao solon further said.

Rep. Rodriguez chairs the House Committee on Constitutional Amendments.
