President turns 75 today; asks for one gift from Filipinos -- 'Stay at home'
President Duterte turns 75 today and is not celebrating his birthday, adhering to his tradition of staying home, which this year also serves as a self-quarantine due to potential exposure to COVID-19.
Senator Bong Go revealed that the President prioritizes the nation's welfare over his personal birthday, focusing on measures to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.
The President instructed the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) to provide aid to the poorest of the poor.
He also urged Filipinos to pray for the frontliners, including health workers, military, and police, acknowledging their heroism in this "war" against the virus.
President Duterte's sole request to Filipinos on his birthday is for them to follow regulations and "stay at home" to help contain the spread of the virus.
