“[The body] was never a factor in developing the Ilocos Norte tourism master plan requested by Marcos’ eldest daughter, Gov. Imee Marcos,” Palafox said during a green urban architecture forum here last week. For the Ilocos Norte master plan, which incorporated designs for Batac City, Palafox said he had convinced Gov.
