and Background of the Candidate)

Si Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. ay isinilang noong ika-13 ng Setyembre taong 1957 sa

Maynila. Siya ay anak ng dating Pangulo ng Pilipinas na si Ferdinand R. Marcos at ng
asawa nitong si Imelda R. Marcos na dating kongresista. Asawa niya ang abogado na si
Louise Araneta-Marcos at sila ay may tatlong anak na may ngalang Sandro, Simon, at
Vincent. Nag-aral siya sa Maynila noong siya ay nasa kindergarten at elementarya at
ipinadala siya sa Inglatera ng kaniyang mga magulang upang hindi siya maapektuhan ng
kanilang katayuan. Sa Benedictine abbey, Worth School siya sunod na nag-aral at
nakakuha siya ng Special Diploma in Social Studies sa Oxford University sa Inglatera
(undergarduate degree). Sa kaniyang kagustuhan na maragdagan pa ang kaniyang
kaalaman, siya ay kumuha ng Masters in Business Administration sa Wharton School of
Business, University of Pennsylvania sa Philadelphia, USA, subalit sa edad na dalawangpu’t
tatlo, kinailangan niyang ihinto ang kaniyang pag-aaral dito sapagkat siya ay nahalal bilang
Bise-gobernador sa Ilocos Norte taong 1981. At simula noon hanggang ngayon ay patuloy
siyang naglilingkod sa ating bansa.

Ang mga sumusunod ay ang kaniyang mga naging posisyon, kasama ang lugar kung
saan ito at ang mga taon:

 Bise-gobernador: Lalawigan ng Ilocos Norte, 1981 - 1983

 Gobernador: Lalawigan ng Ilocos Norte, 1983 - 1986
 Kongresista: Ikalawang Distrito, Ilocos Norte, 1992 - 1995
 Gobernador: Lalawigan ng Ilocos Norte, 1998 - 2007
 Kongresista: Ikalawang Distrito, Ilocos Norte, 2007 - 2010
 Senador: Hulyo 2010 – kasalukuyan

Taong 1992 noong siya ay naging Kongresista, isa sa naiakda niyang batas ang
nakapagtatag ng Philippine Youth Commision at siya ay lubos na nakatulong sa
pagsusulong ng mga layunin ng kooperatiba sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay ng halos lahat
ng kaniyang Countryside Development Fund (CDF) upang maisaayos ang kooperatiba sa
mga guro at magsasaka sa kaniyang probinsya.

Noong 1998 hanggang 2007, siya ay nagserbisyo bilang gobernador ng Ilocos Norte
kung saan siya ay nanungkulan ng tatlong sunod-sunod na termino. Sa panahon ng
kaniyang panunungkulan, nakilala ang Ilocos Norte bilang isang first-class na probinsya sa
bansa sa pamamagitan ng mga destinasyon ditong maka-natural at maka-kultural, at ang
probinsyang ito ang nagpasimula sa wind power technology sa ilalim din ng kaniyang
pangagasiwa. At hanggang ngayon ay nagsisilbi pa rin itong alternatibong pinagkukunan ng
lalawigan ng enerhiya at hindi lang sila ang nakikinabang dito kundi pati na rin ang iba pang
bahagi ng hilagang Luzon.

2007, muling siyang nahalal sa kongreso kung saan hinirang siyang Deputy Minority
Leader of the House of Representatives. Sa terminong ito, isa sa mga mahalagang bahagi
ng batas na kanyang iniakda ay ang Philippine Archipelagic Baselines Law (Republic Act
No. 9522).
 At taong 2010, siya ay umikapito sa halalan ng pagiging senador sa Pilipinas at siya
ngayon ang namumuno sa Senate Committee on Local Government and the Committee on
Public Works.

Siya ay nakatanggap ng mga parangal at pagsipi tulad ng Top Most Outstanding

Contributor of CDF to Cooperatives noong Oktubre 1994 at Young Achiever Awardee for
Government and Public Service noong Nobyembre 1994.

Performance

The 57-year-old Marcos is currently the chairman of the Senate committees

on local government and public works. He also chairs the oversight committee
on the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) Organic Act, the
congressional oversight panel on the Special Purpose Vehicle Act, and a
select oversight committee on barangay affairs.

So far, in the 16th Congress (2013 to present), Senator Marcos has authored
52 bills, with one enacted into law. His Senate Bill 1186, which sought the
postponement of the 2013 Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) elections, later
became Republic Act 10632 on October 3, 2013.

Marcos has also co-authored 4 Senate bills. One of them, Senate Bill 712,
was approved as Republic Act 10645 or the Expanded Senior Citizens Act of
2010.

Meanwhile, in the 15th Congress (2010 to 2013), he was the author of 34

Senate bills – 28 of which he refiled in the 16th Congress – and was co-author
of 17 more, 7 of which became Republic Acts.

Among them are the Anti-Drunk and Drugged Driving Act, the Cybercrime
Prevention Act, the Expanded Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act, and the
National Health Insurance Act.

When he was Ilocos Norte representative in the 14th Congress (2007 to

2010), Marcos supported the passage of Republic Act 9522 or the
Archipelagic Baselines Law of the Philippines as a member of the House
bicameral conference committee.

Only 3 House bills in the 14th Congress were principally authored by him,
including his version of the Archipelagic Baselines Law, which remained
pending in the House committee on foreign affairs, according to the House
Legislative Information System (LEGIS). But he was co-author of 21 other
House bills, 6 of which later became law.

Meanwhile, at his first stint in the Lower House during the 9th Congress (1992
to 1995), Marcos was the author of 29 House bills and co-author of 90 more,
which includes those that paved the way for the creation of the Department of
Energy and the National Youth Commission.

IV. Paglalagom o Sintesis (Summary or Synthesis)

Sa dinaranas ng ating bansa sa kasalukuyan, makikitang nakalinya ang mga

kredensyal, kasaysayan at paniniwala ni Ferdinand Marcos Jr., isa sa mga tatakbo sa
pagkapresidente sa taong 2022. Base sa mga nasaliksik kong impormasyon, nakita kong
lubos ngang nakatulong sa bansa ang mga ginawa niya at tunay ngang napakaganda ng
kanyang mga plano pa para rito. Batay sa mga aral ng kasaysayan ng ating bansa, ang
dapat nating iboto upang mamuno at ang dapat taglayin na katangian nito ay iyong maka-
Pilipino, may paninindigan, at may bisyon para sa bansa. At mula sa mga impormasyong
nakita ko, talagang hindi maitatanggi na ang lahat ng ito ay tinataglay ng matalinong tao na
si Bongbong.
