Having lived in Malacañang Palace for two decades, Sen. Imee Marcos clarified that President-elect Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr. would not live there.
According to Imee, before her brother won, he said that he would not live in Malacañang.
She said this was correct because when they were young, Bongbong did nothing but run away from the Palace.
And because they are said to be from Malacañang, and their residence there is too much, what is more important now is that they can bring up their name and surname.
In addition, they will go back and see their father’s legacy, former Ferdinand Marcos Sr.
Marcos Jr.’s camp said they would consider whether he and his family would live in the “Bahay Pangarap” in Malacañang Park.
The primary house and principal office of the president of the Philippines are Malacanang Palace, also known as Malacaan Palace. It is situated in the San Miguel neighborhood of Manila and is frequently referred to as Mendiola Street.
The president, advisors, and the Philippine government are frequently referred to as Malacanang. The vast Malacanang Palace complex is home to several mansions and office buildings mainly conceived and constructed in the bahay na bato and neoclassical architectural styles.
Bongbong Marcos will not live in Malacañang – Imee
Only Gloria Macapagal Arroyo resided in the main Palace during the current Fifth Republic, with the other presidents all renting adjoining homes that are also a part of the greater royal complex.
The People Power Revolution of 1986, the 1989 coup attempt, during which the Palace was buzzed by T-28 Trojans, the Manila riots of 2001, and the EDSA III riots all resulted in the Palace being taken over.
Since 1863, fourteen American military and civil governors, eighteen Spanish governors-general, and later Philippine presidents have resided in the Palace. Since 1750, the Palace has undergone numerous expansions and renovations.
Additionally, the grounds had been widened to incorporate other estates, and numerous structures had been destroyed and rebuilt during the Spanish and American eras. As a result, its pillars were strengthened, its balconies fixed, its roof tiles replaced with corrugated iron sheets, and the exterior and inside were made more beautiful.
During the administration of Ferdinand Marcos, First Lady Imelda Marcos significantly altered and wholly restored the palace building between 1978 and 1979.
