LAOAG CITY, Ilocos Norte – With less than two weeks left before the May 9 polls, Ilocos Norte’s rival clans, the Marcoses and the Fariñases, engaged in campaign headquarters and street scuffles on Tuesday, April 26.
Another key local race is the fight between Rudy Fariñas’ daughter, 1st district Representative reelectionist Ria Fariñas, and neophyte Sandro Marcos, son of presidential bet Ferdinand Marcos Jr.Video clips of the two separate incidents went viral on social media. But the police in a briefing on Wednesday, April 27, did not identify the individuals involved.
Two security aides were hurt and Jojami said she was “pushed, kicked, and strangled from behind,” prompting her to take medical treatment. Roger Fariñas and his companions also grabbed “documents” inside their property, she added. He said that after allowing him in, people tried to stop him from going out of the compound. His son RJ said people tried to “detain” his father because he managed to take a video of an illegal election activity. RJ added that they have a video of what transpired in the compound but they have not released that so far.
Lazo, who joined the Alcids in Tuesday’s press briefing, said he was on a house-to-house campaign in Barit when Alcid called about the incident. “I spotted my father’s vehicle after I was asked to go to them. I stopped and got out of my car. [Lazo], who was trailing my father, also got out of his car and tried to engage us in a fight,” he said in Ilocano.
