The greeting included a three-paragraph caption and a photo of the couple in traditional Filipino attire.

The post was noticed by a Redditor, who highlighted it in the “r/pinoy” community on Thursday, January 15.

“Kailangan ba talaga i-post gamit ang official government page,” the user said.

“Itong mga ‘to, saksakan na talaga ng pagka-epal eh. Lakas mag-post ng walang kwenta pero ‘pag at [sic] important announcements, aaaapakatagal mag-announce,” the Redditor wrote.
