PBBM votes in Ilocos Norte, urges Filipinos to vote

President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., along with his mother Imelda Marcos and sister Irene Marcos, cast their votes in Batac City, Ilocos Norte for the May 12 midterm elections.

He arrived at the polling center at around 7:06 a.m. and voted at Precinct 36-A in the Mariano Marcos Memorial Elementary School.

Presidential son and Ilocos Norte 1st District Representative Sandro Marcos witnessed his family cast their votes.

On the eve of election day, President Marcos Jr. encouraged Filipinos to exercise their right to vote and select candidates who are honest, compassionate, and capable of serving the nation.

The President is scheduled to return to Manila this morning and will monitor the election results from Malacañang Palace.

The Commission on Elections implemented early voting hours from 5:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. for senior citizens, persons with disabilities, and pregnant women to help them avoid long queues and the day's heat.

Approximately 68 million registered voters are expected to flock to voting centers nationwide.
