Naimbag nga aldaw! @lianbuan is covering local kickoff in Ilocos Norte where Team Marcos holds grand rally at the Capitol 6pm. It's Team Marcos vs Team Fariñas for governor, Laoag City Mayor and 1st District Rep. Story of this dynasty-ruled province in this thread: #PHVote

@lianbuan Imee's son Matthew Manotoc runs for reelection for gov vs ex-gov Rudy Fariñas. For Laoag Mayor, 3-way fight among Mayor Michael Marcos Keon (Bongbong's cousin) VM Vicentito Lazo and ex-Mayor Chevylle Fariñas. Team Marcos is backing Lazo, Keon's foe, but Keon has a poster with BBM

@lianbuan For 1st District, Bongbong's eldest the political neophyte Sandro will aim to take the seat from Rudy's daughter, incumbent Rep Ria Fariñas. In a way, it's new generation Marcos vs the more veteran Fariñases. Ilocos Norte voters will choose between equally powerful clans. #PHVote

@lianbuan In 50 years, Rudy Fariñas is the only non-Marcos to hold the Capitol. But Laoag City Hall was Fariñas turf for long until Keon won and rebranded it "Baro a Laoag" or New Laoag. Ex-Mayor Chevylle, Rudy's niece-in-law will try to reclaim, and his son Carlos will run for Vice Mayor.

@lianbuan Fariñases running under PDP-Laban, and initially backed Sen Bong Go for president. With Go out of race, Team Fariñas has kept mum who it will back for president. Pre-campaign period, Rudy Fariñas slammed Marcoses for having done nothing for Ilocos Norte. rappler.com/newsbreak/in-d…
