They have strict security and strict dress code. Go there in appropriate outfit. It's good to see where the highest governing authority of the country spends most of his/her time. Rich in culture since a lot of paintings and old artifacts are seen here. More

If you're a Filipino, you should come and visit the palace. The main hall was so beautiful. You'll see wooden chandeliers intricately carved with ornate designs. They say they're made of Narra. When we went there, we saw the expensive items that used to belong to the late President Marcos and his family. We also got a glimpse of the... More

I can only say that this is amazing ! As Indonesian I even had so many difficulties of bureaucracy and many procedures to visit our president's palace, even only his fourth or fifth palace in Bali and Cipanas. But Filipino's are great. They are really entertainers and can deliver their own history without compromising security. I was only asked to... More
