Ilocos Norte 1st District Rep. Sandro Marcos paid tribute to his father, describing him as not only a guiding force for the country but also a mentor and source of strength for his family.
Thank you so much for everything that you do for the family, for everything that you do for us—your constant guidance. It's an honor for me to learn from you on a daily basis, he said.
He also thanked President Marcos for remaining “resolute in the face of adversity,”
“I couldn’t ask for a better dad. I couldn’t ask for a better mentor. And I couldn’t ask for anyone better than you to work with,” he said.
“Thank you for all the sound advice that you give me, which I really, really do need from you sometimes. Love you, Pop!” he added.
The President’s middle son, Simon, expressed similar sentiments.
“You're the best possible father I could ever have. And thank you so much for being there. I couldn't have gone anywhere without you, he said.
I love you so much. And I hope you are having the best Father's Day possible. Love you to bits, he added.

Vincent “Vinny” Marcos, the youngest of the Marcos boys, described his father as someone who shows love in every possible way.
“My dad always gave all five love languages, honestly. He always spent time with us. He gave us gifts growing up. So yeah, I think... best of all worlds, he said.
Vinny said that simply spending time together—whether kayaking or watching TV—were his favorite bonding moments with his dad.
He also shared a life lesson that stuck with him.
“My dad always told me, pikon, talo (if you’re quick to anger, you lose). So don’t let other people’s emotions get in the way of what you’re trying to do and what you believe in, he said.
“Happy Father's Day, Pop. Thanks for always being there for me. And thanks for being someone that I can always look up to. Love you, Pop, he added.
Meanwhile, First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos expressed her own gratitude in a post on Instagram.
“Happy Father's Day to the love of my life. You’re not just an amazing dad—you’re the heart of our home. Thanks for being the calm in our chaos and the king of our castle [even if I’m still the Queen],” she wrote.
Today, we celebrate the man our children look up to and the husband I still look at with love [and occasional exasperation]. Love you forever,” she added.
