THE administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has started an initiative of renovating old buildings in Malacañang to turn them into venues for conferences, becoming the newest additions to the tourism assets of the Philippines.
In his latest vlog, President Marcos said one of the programs that the government is implementing is providing accessible venues for conferences by foreign investors and visitors in the Philippines.
“Karamihan ay sa Palasyo naman ang mga meeting at engagement, kaya nitong mga nakaraang buwan ay may idinagdag tayo sa latest addition sa ating Filipino hospitality asset,” President Marcos said.

“Ito ang parang lodging o tuluyan ng ating mga bisita, guesthouse. Imbes na maghohotel pa sila sa malayo, matatraffic, at mahihirapan sa schedule ng mga meeting, dito na lang sila sa Palasyo. Nagkataon na may mga napabayaang lumang bahay sa compound ng Malacañang at may nakita kaming isa na pwede pang i-renovate, ‘yun ang aming ginawa,” he added.
The President said that the project was made possible through the collaboration of the teams of the Office of the President, the Social Secretary and the Office of First Lady, Louise “Liza” Araneta-Marcos.
These establishments include the Goldenberg and Laperal Mansions.
