The Ilocos Norte Capitol has been quiet since last night, no sign of public celebrations yet for the domination of Team Marcos in the local elections, and the presumptive presidential victory of their former governor, Bongbong Marcos. | via @lianbuan#PHVote#WeDecide
@lianbuan Provincial proclamation has been pushed to 1 pm but 99.88% of partial unofficial results show a big-margin win for reelectionist Governor Matthew Marcos Manotoc and the neophyte Sandro Marcos for First District. The estranged Michael Marcos Keon wins Laoag Mayor by a hairline.
In a video posted by Ilocos media last night, a crying Sandro tells his team: "This is probably the greatest moment of my life. Simula pa lang 'to, I'm gonna need all of your help for the next 3 years, 6 years, 9 years." | via @lianbuan#PHVote#WeDecide
Ria Fariñas, who lost her congressional seat to Sandro, posted on Facebook last night: "Thank you to everyone who stood by us til the end." The Fariñases secured the Laoag vice mayor post via Ria's brother, Carlos Fariñas. | via @lianbuan
@lianbuan Recluse to media this campaign, Rudy Fariñas at the last minute hit the Marcoses' rule in Ilocos. He tells Kakampinks who would have wanted him to be an opposition leader here: "Sana maintindihan ninyo, mahirap ang sitwasyon ko lalo sa akin dahil ang anak ko ang kinalaban nila."
