Supporters of presidential aspirant Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. demonstrated their spirit of volunteerism for their preferred candidate in perhaps the longest motorcade rally to date in Ilocos Sur on Sunday morning, November 7.
One of the organizers of the event, Kervin King, said around 7,000 supporters and volunteers joined the event.

“Napaka-importante ito sa amin kasi we just showed BBM na ang mga Ilocano ay very supportive sa kanyang candidacy sa pagiging pangulo,” he said.
Ilocos Sur Board Member and Kilusang Bagong Lipunan (KBL) National President Efren Rafanan, who was also one of the organizers, said the motorcade was proof of support for the candidate.
He said, “ This is to show the Ilocano support, particularly the province of Ilocos Sur to BBM that here in the province, the solid north power is still there.”
