• Governor
Ever-present and dominant throughout Bongbong’s upbringing was the idea of public service.
• Having his youth and formative years spent in Malacañang and witnessing firsthand the single-minded
dedication of his parents to serve country and people, he had determined from a very young age to
devote his life to public service and the welfare of his people.
• When the people of Ilocos Norte gave Bongbong their mandate and elected him Governor, his term was
marked by a greater importance placed on improving the province’s agriculture; support for the
establishment and operation of cooperatives that promote better market opportunities to local farmers;
the construction of numerous agricultural processing and storage facilities; and a policy environment
that encouraged and promoted greater investments in sustainable development and renewable sources of
energy.

Kilusang Bagong Lipunan party of his father, who 
was ruling the Philippines under martial law at the time.

• After the death of his father in 1989, President Corazon Aquino eventually allowed
his family to return to the Philippines to face various charges. 
• Marcos and his mother, Imelda, are currently facing arrest in the United States for
defying a court order to pay US$353 million (₱17,385,249,999.93 in 2022) in
restitution to human rights abuse victims during his father's dictatorship.
 Service Record

Province of Ilocos Norte, he authored and co-authored several house bills

majority since the establishment of the Fifth Republic in 1986. He was officially
declared president-elect by Congress on May 25, 2022. His win was also the
largest since 1981, when his father won 88% of the votes due to a boycott by
the opposition who protested the prior election. He is the first Philippine
candidate to lose a vice presidential campaign, but win the presidency.
 Early Life
• Marcos's presidential campaign received criticism from fact-checkers and 
disinformation scholars, who found his campaign to be driven by historical
negationism aimed at revamping the Marcos brand and smearing his rivals. 
• His campaign has also been accused of whitewashing the human rights abuses and 
plunder that took place during his father's presidency. 
• The Washington Post has noted how the historical distortions of the Marcoses has
been underway since the 2000s, while The New York Times cited his convictions of 
tax fraud, including his refusal to pay his family's estate taxes, and
misrepresentation of his education at the University of Oxford.
