Ferdinand Edralin Marcos, the 10 President of the Republic of the
Philippines (1965-1986), was born on the 11" day of September 1917 in Sarrat,
Ilocos Norte, to spouses Mariano Marcos and Josefa Edralin. The young Ferdinand
displayed extraordinary memory and brilliance and eventually topped the 1939
Philippine Bar examinations.

He served as a member of the House of Representatives for two (2) terms
until his election as a Senator in 1959, and becoming the Senate President in
1963. In 1965, he was elected President of the Philippines and was re-elected in
1969, becoming the first president to serve a second term. For his twenty-year
tenure as President, his advocacies focused on building infrastructure, roads,
hospitals and other social services.

For the people of Ilocos Norte, the young and promising Marcos has
brought pride to the province and served as inspiration for young leaders to
exemplify his leadership and governance administration. It is thus aimed by this
proposal to have the 11" day of September be declared as a Special Non-
Working Holiday in the Province of Ilocos Norte, to be known as “The President
Ferdinand Edralin Marcos Day.”

With the foregoing, passage of the bill is earnestly sought.
