About Ilocos Norte
The province lies at the northwest of Luzon island, facing the West Philippine Sea (or South China Sea). It is bordered by Cagayan, Apayao, and Abra to the east, andIlocos Surto the south. Ilocos Norte is best noted as the bulwark of theMarcospolitical family, among them the infamous dictator Ferdinand Marcos and first lady Imelda Marcos, and their children. The contributions of the Marcoses remains a sensitive topic here, so tread carefully. That said, the provincial political arena is shifting away from the influence of the Marcoses, though some locals continue to voice support for their family and local policies.
