00:00President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s new role as chief campaigner of his anointed candidates
00:05kicks off in his political bailiwick.
00:07The start of the 90-day campaign period for national candidates in the 2025 elections
00:11begins Tuesday, February 11.
00:14The Alianza para sa Bagong Pilipinas holds its opening salvo at the Centennial Arena
00:18in Lawag, Ilocos Norte.
00:20Ilocos Norte is neither strategic nor vote-rich, but it is the base of the powerful Marcos
00:25clan's political power.
00:27Because his traditional bailiwick extends beyond Ilocos Norte and into nearby provinces
00:31often collectively called as the Solid North, the coalition says Marcos will be making the
00:36case for continuity and stability under his leadership.
00:39Of the 12 Senate bets, 10 were among the winnable 14 in the last PulseAsia's senatorial preference
00:45survey.
00:46Erwin Tulfo, a brother of Senator Rafi Tulfo, has consistently topped pre-election polling.
