Naglabas ng pahayag ang Presidential Communications Office (PCO) kaugnay ng nangyari umanong party sa Pasay para sa kaarawan ni Pangulong Bongbong Marcos nitong BIyernes, Setyembre 13.

“After a tiring day filled with official engagements, he attended a party thrown by his old friends at a hotel in Pasay, and to his surprise and appreciation, music was provided by Duran Duran,” paliwanag ng PCO nitong Sabado, Setyembre 14.

Ayon pa sa PCO, bago ang naturang party, ginugol daw ng pangulo ang kaniyang kaarawan sa pagtatrabaho bilang pangulo.

“He traveled hundreds of kilometers to grant farmers a condonation of their debts and gifted them with a new financing program that will boost farm yields and farmers’ incomes. He ordered the payment of the bills incurred that day by qualified patients in third-level DOH hospitals,” anang PCO.

“He opened the gates of Malacañang, where food booths awaited people from all walks of life who came from near and far to greet him a happy birthday. The President celebrated his birthday with his signature compassion for the needy and the sick, and his deep appreciation for the farmers who feed the nation,” dagdag pa nito.

Ang naturang paliwanag ng PCO ay nangyari matapos sabihin ng vlogger na si Sass Sassot nitong Biyernes na nagkaroon si Marcos ng "private party" sa Manila Marriot Hotel, kung saan nag-perform doon ang Duran Duran.

"Duran Duran I know that it is included in your contract to keep this private concert VERY PRIVATE. But we have GMA News and Rappler to confirm that you were flown to have a private concert for the birthday of Philippine President Bongbong Marcos. Please fact check Vera Files. So difficult to get pics and videos...very demure, very cutesy, very exclusive," ani Sass Sassot sa kaniyang post.

Ang Duran Duran ay isang international pop rock band.
