MANGALDAN --- Sen. Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. will visit the province of Pangasinan on Sunday, September 27,  to renew  kindred  ties with Pangasinenses and feel the pulse of his kailian  amidst clamor that he seeks the presidency in the 2016 elections.

          The junior of former President Marcos, who just turned 58 on September 13, will rally several  groups at the Macario Ydia  Development Center (MYDC) in this cycling town  for nation- building at 1 p.m.

Amado Espino Jr., Rep. Gina de Venecia, Congressman Jonathan Dela Cruz, former Gov. Vic Millora, Mayor Bona de Vera Parayno, Vice Gov. Ferdie Calimlim, Vice Mayor Manny Casupang,  and other luminaries .
