Philippines: Malacañang of the North

I was wondering the how glamorous and extravagant this place when former Ferdinand Marcos staying here during his time, absolutely always welcome to high society those time.  His official residence in Ilocos Norte (also known as the White House of the North or Malacañang Ti Amianan).  

Great architecture, a mixture of Spanish and Ilocano designs.  I love the wood paneled floors, the antique grand furnitures, and such spacious dining rooms, bedrooms and veranda which overlooks the Paoay Lake which now have been turned into a museum.
