MALACANANG PALACE
This is where the current Philippine president during his/her term. The palace is located along the north bank of the Pasig River in Manila. The name came from a Tagalog phrase, “may lakan diyan,” which means “a rich man lives there”. But the Spaniards said that the name came from “mama lakaya”, which can be translated as “the fishermen who laid their catch there”.
Inside the complex of Malacanang Palace, you will find Bonifacio Hall. It is the Premier Guest house used by President Ferdinand Marcos, which later became the office of President Corazon Aquino. During the leadership of President Joseph Ejercito Estrada, this hall was again used as his residence. Aside from Bonifacio Hall, other places that you can see in Malacanang are the Kalayaan Hall, Mabini Hall and the New Executive Building. There’s also a Malacanang Park, which has a golf course.
