First Family reunites for Christmas

The First Family is finally all together this Christmas season.

Photos shared by First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos showed the whole family — sons Sandro, Simon and Vincent — finding time in their packed schedules to reunite for their annual Christmas family shoot.

Aside from the holiday portrait, it appears the family may have also filmed their yearly Christmas message for the Filipino people.

“Christmas family shoot with the people I trust most — a few laughs and a lot of love,” the First Lady wrote on social media.

In recent weeks, both President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Mrs. Marcos have been highlighting the importance of family time, especially during the holidays — and this reunion seems to reflect that message.

Sandro, the eldest, has been juggling his responsibilities as representative of Ilocos Norte’s 1st District while also serving as House Majority Leader. Congress is currently deep into bicameral conference deliberations on the proposed 2026 General Appropriations Bill.

Simon, on the other hand, has long chosen to stay out of the spotlight, keeping a low profile and enjoying a more private life compared to his siblings.

Meanwhile, Vincent has been a familiar presence at his parents’ official engagements — sometimes alongside the whole family, and at other times separately with either the President or the First Lady. He currently serves as chairman of Bagong Pilipinas Youth, a nationwide movement aimed at empowering young Filipinos.

For the First Family, it was a rare pause from public duties — and a moment to simply be together.
