Laoag
City—She left as Ilocos Norte governor; she
returned as a senator.
Senator-elect and outgoing
Ilocos Norte Governor Ma. Imelda Josefa “Imee” R. Marcos returned home on May
27, 2019 after her official proclamation as senator on May 22, 2019.
She expressed her excitement
as she finally returned to Ilocos Norte, saying: “It’s a real joy to be back
home. Na-miss ko kayong lahat at
ang Ilocos Norte. Ako’y talagang natutuwa na makapiling kayong muli sa
natitirang panahon ko bilang gobernador ninyo.”
The outgoing Ilocos Norte
governor is also thankful to the Ilocano community for their firm support to
her senatorial bid, as well as to the “Team Marcos” in the local elections.
“Thank you so much for your
devoted support. The North indeed remembers, and I will never forget. Kahit
papaano’y nanguna ako hanggang sa Cagayan. It’s been a difficult campaign
not only for me but also for those who won with me here in the province. Talagang
the ‘Solid North’ is alive and well,” she remarked.
Ms. Marcos left Ilocos Norte during
campaign period for the national elections. She visited cities and provinces
all over the country.
“Kung saan-saan ako
napadpad. Mula sa Visayas at kasuluk-sulukan ng Mindanao. There are
beautiful islands, great volcanoes, remarkable sights and sounds and very great
food but at the end of the day, it’s a real pride to be Ilocano and to come
from Ilocos Norte. The best pa rin ang ating lugar,”
Reassuring her kailians
that she will still help, Senator-elect Marcos reiterated that: “Hindi po
ako mawawala sa Ilocos Norte. Nandito lang ako at asahan ninyo ako,
sampu ng aking pamilya, kasama ang lahat ng aming political family; ang
ating mga opisyales ngayon.” (Stewart C. Ocampo)
