A Sweet Escape (Part 2)

Hello there, ETC readers! Are you ready for the continuation of my family’s Ilocandia Tour? Let’s get it on!

(Day 2)1st destination: Malacañang Ti Amianan, Paoay, Ilocos Norte! One of the best places to revisit the past is by going to the Malacañang of the North, a two-storey rest house of the late President Ferdinand Marcos. The mixture of Spanish and Ilocano influences is evident in the design of the mansion and by using some of the rooms in the house to showcase the different items related to the Marcos regime, its historical value has been highlighted more. Upon visiting, a local tour guide about my age accompanied and told us many stories about the Marcoses and their contribution to the country. Unfortunately for us, many tourists were also there during the time of our visit, so my mom and I were not able to get many photos of the interior of the house. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed roaming around the house, taking in the beautiful scenery outside, and gaining more knowledge about the late president and his family.
