Daytoy ti Bannawag (English: This is the Dawn), also known as the Ferdinand Marcos Monument, is a public statue located at the city plaza of Batac, Ilocos Norte, Philippines. It depicts former Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos and was inaugurated in 1977. The work is attributed to Italian modernist sculptor Giuseppe Marinucci (1925–1981), and is the only known statue by him in the Philippines.

It should not be confused with the Bust of Ferdinand Marcos in La Union, a separate memorial completed in 1980 and later destroyed in 2002.
