MANILA – The Singson family has reaffirmed its hold on Ilocos Sur, with two members swapping the province’s top elective posts after running unopposed.

After occupying their respective posts for three consecutive terms, Governor Ryan Singson and his uncle, Vice Governor Jerry, will be switching positions. Both were unchallenged in the polls, meaning they only needed one vote to be declared winner.

Jerry got 313,232 votes while Ryan earned 325,807 votes, based on partial and unofficial results on Tuesday afternoon.
