“Although we are not subjects of the Queen, we have found that we have developed a great sense of affection for her as a Queen, as a mother, and as a grandmother,” the President of the Philippines said. “We, together with many Filipinos living and working in England, have found that we have developed this great sense of affection for her as a result.”

According to figures provided by the British government as of June 2021, there are approximately 158,000 Filipinos now residing in the United Kingdom.

According to Marcos, “the world has lost a true figure of majesty in what she displayed during the course of her life and throughout the course of her reign as Queen.”
