Memories of our Visit to Malacanang Palace of the Philippines

Yesterday, I posted in my blogs our  pleasant memories 25 years ago during our personal Christmas tour of the White House. Today, I am posting our visit to Malacanang Palace 22 years ago, December 11, 1998.

 

Twenty-Two Years ago today, Macrine and I were invited to an Award Ceremony for Overseas Filipinos at the Malacanang Palace in the Philippines.

Malacañang Palace (officially "Malacañan Palace"; Filipino: Palasyo ng Malakanyang; Spanish: Palacio de Malacañán) is the official residence and principal workplace of the President of the Philippines. It is located in old Manila district of San Miguel, and is commonly associated with Mendiola Street. The term "Malacañang" is often used as a metonym for the president and his advisers. The sprawling Malacañang Palace complex includes numerous mansions and office buildings designed and built largely in bahay na bato and neoclassical style.
