Imee eyes senate seat

By



Laoag City—Ilocos Norte Governor Ma. Imelda Josefa “Imee” R. Marcos filed her certificate of candidacy for senator at the Commission on Elections office in Intramuros, Manila on October 16, 2018.

In filing her candidacy for the May 19, 2019 midterm elections, she said, “Naniniwala tayo na malaki ang maitutulong natin sa bansa sa usapin ng ekonomiya lalo na ngayon na halos walang patid ang pagtaas ng presyo ng mga bilihin. Inflation ang pangunahin nating problema sa kasalukuyan at nasasaktan lalo ang mahihirap dahilan sa 60% ng kanilang kita ay napupunta sa pagkain.”

“Kaya naman ipinaglalaban ko ang agarang pagsuspindi sa VAT kahit isang taon lamang, para agad-agad na mapagaan ang bigat ng sobrang taas ng presyo ng petroleo at pagkain na nagpapahirap sa ating mga kababayan,” the governor added.

She also showcased Ilocos Norte as a proof of her public service after the province became one of the fastest and most efficient in reducing poverty rates in the whole country.

The governor said, they attained this even without any industrial or freeport zones as well as not hosting any big cities and being very far from Metro Manila.

“Dadalhin ko ang tinig ng mga probinsya at kanayunan sa Senado—bilang beteranong lider ng pamahalaang lokal, titiyakin ko na tutugunan ng ating mga batas ang mga kagyat na pangangailangan ng ating mga local na pamayanan sa kabuhayan, edukasyon at kalusugan na siyang mga susi ng kanilang paglaya sa kahirapan,” Ms. Marcos stressed.

Ms. Marcos served three terms as Ilocos Norte second district representative before serving another three term as Ilocos Norte governor. (MTE)
