History

Malacanang Palace was originally built in 1750 by a Spanish nobleman, Don Luis Rocha, as a summer house.

In 1825 it was purchased by the Spanish Government, and it then became the summer residence of the Governor-General of the Philippines. Over the years, Malacanang Palace was home to 18 Spanish governors-general and 14 American civil governors.

When the Philippine Commonwealth was established in 1935, Malacanang served as the official residence of the President of the Philippines, the first being President Manuel L. Quezon.

The Malacañang Museum, located in Kalayaan Hall, is the official repository of memorabilia of the President of the Philippines.
