MANILA – Malacañang on Friday opened the Kalayaan grounds to the public for the “Salo-Salo sa Palasyo,” in celebration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s 68th birthday on Saturday.

Marcos, accompanied by First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos, mingled with the crowd as he listened to the birthday song.

The First Couple, riding a golf cart, also interacted with the children who attended the gathering.

Marcos extended his gratitude to those who joined him and his family in celebrating his birthday.

In 2024, the Office of the President (OP) hosted the “Handog ng Pangulo: Salo Sa Palasyo” also for the public with food stalls.
