Presidential Museum is now open to public at the Baguio Mansion House

Baguio City, Philippines – The public may now visit an added tourism site at the Mansion House in Baguio City with the opening of the Presidential Museum on Sunday, September 8.

The opening was graced by Senator Sonny Angara, Department of Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia-Frasco and personnel of national and local government agencies.

The museum, a replicated version of the Teus Museum near the Malacañang Palace was a project by First Lady Liza Marcos.

The museum features the history of the country’s presidents. A brief description of how they ascended to power and their significant achievements during their reign was also highlighted.

In addition, the museum serves as storage of various president’s memorabilia, starting with General Emilio Aguinaldo up to the present leader, President Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos Jr.

These include their presidential attire, footwear, flags, and their sculptured bust.

To recall, the proposal to build the museum at the Mansion House was likewise backed by Baguio City officials through a resolution.

The plan, based on the resolution, is a much needed edifice as Baguio City is one of the notable cities in the country designated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as a Creative City for Crafts and Folk Arts.

It was also identified as the Education Center of the North.

Apart from the emphasis of said titles through the edifice, they also pointed out that such museum is important in raising historical awareness not only among locals but also among foreigners.
