MANILA: After spending the early part of his 67th birthday distributing a total of P3.19 billion in government aid in the provinces, President Marcos capped the occasion with a party at a hotel in Pasay City on Friday (Sept 13) night.
But Malacañang had to issue a statement the following day to explain that “old friends” of Marcos—not the government—paid for the party that included a performance by the English pop rock band Duran Duran.
