VICE President Leni Robredo barnstormed the “Solid North” at the weekend, visiting two vote-rich provinces in Northern Luzon in her campaign for the presidency.
Robredo admitted she was apprehensive of the reception she would get from Ilocanos, but was heartened by the thousands who attended her rallies in Cagayan and Isabela, some of whom, in between her talks, chanted, “there is no Solid North.”
The sight of thousands of Ilocanos in the region considered as the bailiwick of her rival, former Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., eased her anxiety, according to her campaign team.“Show me your support on May 9 please. Not just today. I’m nervous now, and I understand the situation. I know it’s hard for those of you campaigning for another presidential candidate here in your place,” she told them, mostly in Filipino.
In between her talk, the vice president would get a response from the crowd shouting “there is no Solid North.” Solid North refers to Ilocanos and the northern portion of Luzon. It has always been considered Marcos country.
