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.
