LAOAG CITY, Ilocos Norte – In the first hour of Saturday, March 12, Reyn Niduaza prepared for her four-hour trip with 57 other supporters of presidential candidate and Vice President Leni Robredo from the northern towns of Sanchez Mira and Claveria to Tuguegarao City in Cagayan.It would be her first time to join an election rally for Robredo and her Angat Buhay Lahat slate.
Niduaza remained unfazed as the turnout in Tuguegarao City on Saturday showed a fissure in northern Luzon provinces. Robredo setting foot in Cagayan and Isabela is already an indication that she is “a strong woman” who has proven that she has a lot to offer, Niduaza said. In a sea of placards and “finger hearts” which had become a symbol for Robredo’s campaign, an emboldened “Awan Solid North!” placard stood out in Tuguegarao. In Alcala town, supporters chanted “Walang Solid North!” and promised to deliver for Robredo in the May elections.
Pawilen, citing author Carl Lande, noted the huge influence of regionalism and the tendency to vote for local elites and personalities as mirrored in the provinces in the Solid North. He said that the “imagine veiled” of the Solid North had served as a “political function and became a propaganda that blanketed the massive electoral frauds during [Marcos Sr.’s] term.”
