Marcos meets Pangasinan groups today, Sept. 27
MANGALDAN — Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. will be in Pangasinan today, Sunday, September 27, to renew kindred ties with Pangasinenses.
The only son of former President Marcos, is expected to rally several groups at the Macario Ydia Development Center to participate in nation- building at 1 p.m.
The senator, in a statement he issued to the media, however, categorically denied reports that he is expected to announce his bid for the presidency in 2016 during his visit to Pangasinan.
Lawyer Julius Magno, a native of this town and chairman of the Samahan Ilocano International, said former Speaker Jose de Venecia Jr., Gov. Amado Espino Jr., Rep. Gina de Venecia, Mayor Bona de Vera Parayno, Vice Gov. Ferdie Calimlim, Vice Mayor Manny Casupang, and other luminaries will be on hand to welcome the senator.
Marcos’ Pangasinan visit is part of his itinerary to the so-called Solid North that began a few weeks back.
Marcos lately earned the respect of lawyers and political scholars for his steering the Senate local government committee that is scrutinizing the provisions of the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law. He will administer the oaths of the charter officers of the Federation of Civil Societies of Mangaldan and five other organizations.
Guia Macmod, president of the Pangasinan Muslims Assembly, a former MILF commander, said Mindanaoans “love Bongbong because he is seriously working on the proposed BBL law with sincerity and competence.”
