Happy birthday, former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte!
I will forever be thankful for your support for me and my advocacy for universal healthcare and better housing for all. After all, it was your hand that signed the Universal Healthcare Law and Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development Law, both of which I fought hard for inside the halls of the Senate.
May God bless you with more birthdays to come!
