Political neophyte Sandro Marcos, 28, has been proclaimed the winner in the congressional race for Ilocos Norte's first district, defeating incumbent Ria Fariñas.

The elder son of presumptive president Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr., this victory also signifies the Marcos family's complete control over all top posts in Ilocos Norte.
