Hon. Imee R. Marcos



                                       Governor of the Province of Ilocos Norte







            Ilocos Norte  Governor Imee  R.  Marcos  was  one  of  the  first  female
        graduates of Princeton University, graduating with a B.A. in Religion and
        Politics, with honors. She then  earned  her  M.A. in  Management  and
        Business Administration from the Asian Institute of Management in Makati
        City, and did graduate studies in anthropology, sociology, arts, history, and
        theater at Princeton and at the University of the Philippines Diliman (UPD).
            She went on to become a theater, television, and film producer of
        award-winning classic Filipino films and served the Experimental Cinema
        of the Philippines for five years (1981-1986) as director-general. Among
        her noteworthy productions are Oro, Plata, Mata; Himala; Da Real Makoy
        and Lam-ang; and Pintakasi.
            Her experience in  local governance began  in the 1970s when  she
        organized a three million-strong village or barangay youth organization, the
        Kabataang Barangay (KB), and chaired it from 1975-1984. The KB then
        became the predecessor of the modern Sangguniang Kabataan. Marcos
        later became Congresswoman of the Second District of Ilocos Norte for
        three consecutive terms (1998-2007), and in 2010 she won in a landslide
        victory for the province's governorship. She is currently in the second year
        of her last term as governor, which ends in 2019.
