Malacañang of the North

Posted by Ada on Category: Ilocos Norte, Luzon | 3 Comments

During our 2nd day in Vaseline road trip, we visited the Malacañang of the North or the official residence of the Marcoses located in Paoay, Ilocos Norte.

Marcos-2

Let’s take a sneak peak at the real Malacanang of the North.

Marcos-3

It is a two-storey house and it is one of the 29 rest houses of late President Ferdinand Marcos.

Marcos-11

The house has 9 spacious rooms which used to accommodate upper class guests during Marcos’ term.

Marcos-7

The house is a mixture of Spanish and Ilocano interior designs.

Marcos-6

It also has 2 living rooms and 2 dining rooms. See how extravagant the house is; accommodating upper class visitors during those times.

Marcos-5

Marcos-4

Both 1st and 2nd floor have spacious veranda facing the Paoay Lake.

Marcos-10

After the Ferdinand Marcos died, Malacanang of the North was transformed into a musuem. It is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and has an entrance fee of P20.00.
