beautiful mansion with well manicured lawn, unfortunately that's all there is to see and do - you cannot go inside or even tour the grounds. I felt like an idiot standing around hoping that someone could tell me what the big deal was! More

My family were able to enter the gates where we can take pictures with the mansion as our background( this is the official summer residence of all Philippine presidents) Bought souvenirs through the guard who was selling pens, tshirts and the like. You can not haggle since everything is recorded. So I have my "Office of the President" T-shirt More

Visiting one of the historic spots of the Philippines, The Mansion @ Baguio City, where Presidents of The Republic of the Philippines stayed when visiting to Baguio. It became a venue also to meetings of distinct people from the Philippines and other part of the globe. But, you cannot go close to the place. You can only view it from... More

When we got there, the place was filled with people! The attraction is just the Mansion, where the first American Governor General in Baguio resided. The gate was patterned after the Buckingham Palace. Across the street, you can find the Wright Park. More

For security reasons, we're only allowed to take photos inside and outside the gate. Across the Mansion, there spreads a reflecting pool. It's like a scene from a different country--a la Taj Mahal in India (the difference is Taj Mahal's pool reflects the building while The Mansion's pool reflects the trees). More

Wish there was a section of the Mansion that is open to the public. Even just having the opportunity to get closer pictures of the residence, or better yet is a short tour of sections of the mansion. More
