For our next destination in Ilocos Norte, we are now headed to the famous Malacanang of the North. We we're kinda wondering whats inside this tourist attraction and why its called that. Then we found out that Malacanang of the North is the place where the late Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos stays during his time. A well preserved house made of hard wood; the floor, ceiling, stairs and even the furniture.
... the receiving area..
.. the grande wooden staircase ...
... the late President Marcos office ...
... portrait of his wife, Congresswoman Imelda Marcos ...
... gown worn by his wife during his time ...
... the couples bedroom...
.. entrance ...
.. the dining table ..
.. the room of his two daughters, Imee and Irene ..
Next stop is Batac, Ilocos Norte. It is where the preserved body of Ferdinand Marcos is being housed. This is actually one of the many reasons why we chose Ilocos for this trip. When we arrived, there were some tourist waiting outside wanted to see the body also. We were told that we are not allowed to take pictures inside and if we do , we will be punish. So I kept my camera and went inside. A room filled with artificial flowers (flowers were made out of shell)welcomed us. Then we saw the late Ferdinand Marcos, lying in the middle of the room covered with glass. It was a very nice experienced, i think this was the best part of our trip. I m not really a fan of Marcos or the Philippine history but having the opportunity to see him personally was amazing, it was totally worth it.
