After his studies abroad, Marcos recalled that he was determined not to go into politics.
“If you were to ask when I was 23, 24, 25 years old, will you enter the politics? Before you finish asking the question, I’ve already said no, no, no, no. But you know, life takes you to certain places that you did not expect,” he said. “For us to defend ourselves politically, somebody had to enter politics and be in the political arena so that at least, not only the legacy of my father but even our own survival required that somebody go into politics,” the President said.He won a congressional seat representing his home province of Ilocos Norte in the 1992 elections.
