President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. on Friday expressed his sympathies over the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Britain’s longest-serving monarch.
“It is with profound sadness that we receive the news of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in Balmoral Castle yesterday evening,” Marcos said on Facebook.
“She exemplified to the world a true monarch’s great dignity, commitment to duty, and devotion to all those in her realm,” he added.
Marcos said Filipinos, including those living and working in England, “have found ourselves having developed a great sense of affection for her as a Queen, as mother, and as a grandmother,” even though we are not her subjects.
“The world has lost a true figure of majesty in what she demonstrated throughout her life and throughout her reign as Queen,” Marcos said.
Also on Friday, Marcos Jr. signed the condolence book for Queen Elizabeth II at the British Embassy.
