Elections were held in the Ilocos Region for seats in the House of Representatives of the Philippines on May 10, 2010.
The candidate with the most number of votes won that district's seat for the 15th Congress of the Philippines.
In Ilocos Norte, the Marcoses had a split within their ranks, former first lady Imelda Marcos and his children Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. and Imee Marcos had allied themselves with Nacionalista Party and Manny Villar. Imelda's nephew Michael Keon would only support Ferdinand Jr.'s campaign for senator as part of the Nacionalista's roster but not Villar; Keon is a member of Lakas-Kampi-CMD and supports Gilbert Teodoro. The Marcoses also had a reconciliation with the Fariñases and invited Rodolfo Fariñas as a congressional candidate for the Nacionalistas in the province's first district.
Incumbent Roque Ablan, Jr. (Lakas-Kampi-CMD) is on his third consecutive term and can not run for reelection. His seat will be contested by his son Kristian and former congressman Rodolfo Fariñas.
The result of the election is under protest in the House of Representatives Electoral Tribunal.
Incumbent Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. will leave the House to run for a Senate seat. His mother and former first lady Imelda will run for his seat under the Kilusang Bagong Lipunan (KBL) as the younger Marcos was expelled from the party. She was challenged by Marcos supporter Mariano Nalupta. She is co-nominated by the Nacionalista Party.
