In the 2022 Philippine vice-presidential election, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte won decisively in Ilocos Norte, receiving 342,554 votes, or 93.80% of the total. Senate President Vicente "Tito" Sotto III came in second with 10,303 votes (2.82%), while Senator Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan followed with 7,973 votes, amounting to 2.18%.This result reflects the strong backing for Duterte in the province, which is also the political stronghold of her running mate, Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.
The outcome is reminiscent of the 2016 presidential election, where Sara’s father, President Rodrigo Duterte, won the province with 34% of the vote. The Duterte family's popularity, combined with the enduring influence of the Marcoses in Ilocos Norte, played a significant role in Sara Duterte's overwhelming victory in the 2022 vice-presidential race.
