ENRILE, CAGAYAN — At least 3,000 supporters of Manila Mayor and presidential aspirant Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso gathered at Taguibao compound in this town, a known bailiwick of former Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile, who endorsed the candidacy of Ferdinand Marcos Jr. last month.

Acknowledging the challenge of courting residents here and in the entire Cagayan province, Moreno asked them to spare him even a few votes.

Moreno thanked his local supporters, including Aksyon Demokratiko mayoral bet and incumbent Vice Mayor Expedito Taguibao, who helped organize his campaign sortie here.

The agricultural town of Enrile is a third-class municipality named after Spanish Governor-General Pasqual Enrile, an ancestor of Enrile.

Situated in the southernmost part of Cagayan, the town has a population of 36,705 people based on the 2020 census.
