“This is my Father’s Day gift from my family. I proclaim it to be applicable to all busy Dads out there! Happy Father’s Day,” Marcos wrote.
The spoof order mandates Marcos to observe a “period of well-deserved rest,” to postpone all “non-essential meetings and stressful discussions,” and to enjoy a sweet dessert.
“Thank you for your strength, your patience, your terrible jokes and your big heart. Life is sweeter, funnier and far more meaningful because I get to walk through it with you,” Liza wrote.
In a separate post, Marcos also took the time to honor his father, Ferdinand Marcos Sr., who placed the Philippines under martial law during his administration.
“On this Father’s Day, I honor not only my father but all fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers and father figures whose love, sacrifice and presence help shape the lives of their children and the future of our nation,” he wrote.

“Balancing it all—being their protector, disciplinarian, coach, their best friend, and being their father is the ultimate blessing. There’s no better job in the world than being their Papa. Truly blessed beyond belief,” he said.
