PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Monday voted early at the Mariano Marcos Memorial School in Batac City, Ilocos Norte where he began his career in public service.
Marcos, together with mom, former first lady Imelda Marcos, sister Irene Araneta, and son, Ilocos Norte 1st District Rep. Ferdinand Alexander Marcos, arrived at 7 a.m. at the school located in Barangay Valdez as a registered voter of Barangay Lacub, Precinct No. 36-A.
After voting, the Marcos family visited the nearby Marcos Museum and later proceeded to Calayab Elementary School in Laoag City, where other family members were registered to vote.
The President did not grant interviews.
Ilocos Norte remains under the Commission on Elections’ (Comelec) “green zone” classification, indicating a peaceful and low-risk environment for the May 12 polls.
Provincial election supervisor Joel Gines said no major election-related security threats have been reported across the province’s 21 towns and two cities, though minor incidents involving heated exchanges among candidates have surfaced without formal complaints.
