“The First Lady wanted it to feel like a resort,” shares Onglao, noting that President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. needed a space to unwind after the demands of public office. Surrounded by tropical plants and trees, the property now boasts open areas and walkways flanked by water fountains, and a large swimming pool, creating a tranquil, resort-like atmosphere.
For relaxation, the family enjoys various leisure activities, including a billiard table, a Pac-Man arcade machine, and even a car race simulator—often used by the Marcoses' son, Vincent. Under President Ferdinand E. Marcos, the house became his mother’s residence and was referred to as Bahay Kubo. It was then redesigned with Filipino elements such as the pitched roof, Narra flooring, and Capiz windows by National Artist for Architecture Francisco T. Mañosa.
