Guests from the media tour the rooms at Laperal Mansion in Malacañang Palace, Manila on Wednesday, Mar. 13. The restored mansion, which features 19th-century architecture and tropical-infused Philippine ambiance, will serve as the official Presidential Guest House for foreign heads of state or government during their visit to the country.
The establishment aims to showcase the Filipinos’ hospitality as well as the intention of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to strengthen and expand the Philippines’ relations with its partners in the international community. (MB Video by Noel B. Pabalate)
