Happy Birthday, Mauricio Funes! May your day be brighter than the spotlight during your historic presidential victory in 2009. From journalist-turned-president, you've always known how to make a headline!

Your presidency marked significant moments—whether steering El Salvador into uncharted waters or keeping everyone guessing about what you'd do next. Politics aside, today is all about cake and celebration; may you enjoy every moment as richly as possible.

Here's hoping this birthday brings even more memorable successes—and fewer press conferences. Feliz cumpleaños to the man who's proven Salvadoran politics can indeed contain humor and surprises alike!
