The presence of her brother, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. and her son Matthew Marcos Manotoc, also current Ilocos Norte Governor, was not enough to compel Imee to grace the special occasion. InsideTrack
It would have been the grandest Ilocano festival in years, held no less at the P1-billion Ferdinand E. Marcos Memorial Stadium in Laoag, but the Marcos family wasn’t in full attendance on Friday, February 24.
Imee said it has been habitual for her to visit the grave of her father on February 25, taking the time for “reflection” and “revisiting” of the past that dramatically changed the fate of her family and that of the country in 1986. She asked fellow Ilocanos for some understanding. The senator was not the only one noticeably absent in the spectacular Ilocos Norte event. So was First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos. Presidential son Sandro, also Ilocos Norte 1st District Representative, ended up introducing his father and managing to get him to donate more to raise the festival’s grand prize to P1 million.
