MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand "Bongbong" R. Marcos Jr. on Monday paid tribute to the late  former United States (US) president Jimmy Carter.

Carter died at the age of 100 on December 29. He was the 39th president of the US.

In his message, Marcos acknowledged Carter’s humanitarian efforts.

“Jimmy Carter, former president of the United States was a humanitarian who practiced what he preached : Houses for the homeless and human rights for the oppressed,” he said.

“Guided by his faith, he was a servant leader who pursued peace in places torn by war and prosperity in societies broken by want,” Marcos added.

“These are universal values he fought for which are embraced by people everywhere, including Filipinos, as the cornerstone of a better, kinder society they deserve to live in,” he further added.

He also called Carter a “model of the power to do good” who was driven not by politics nor personal gain but by “pure love to one’s fellowmen.”
