Malacanang Palace at the Northern part of the Philippines

I have never been to Ilocos Norte or the northern part of the Philippines. So it was such an amazing moment for me to be there. And especially to be able to stand infront of the Malacang Palace of the north. It was just a great feeling.

Malacang Palace of the north is just one of the many touris destination in Ilocos Norte so for me it is a must go to place when in Ilocos Norte, Philippines.

So there I was standing infront of the majestic grounds of Malacang Palace of the northe. Upon stepping up the red round marble steps I noticed that there is a ramp on one corner for ease of access into the  house for people on a wheelchair.

Once inside the grand house, I was awed of the interior. It was so spacious inside. There were a few items of the former Presidential family who occupied there were left for display.

Some pictures of the Marcos family left in the house

A beautiful painting of first lady Imelda Marcos.

The grand staircase made from the finest wood.

The staircase, arenn't they dramatic. They are long and not to winding leading to the second floor.

I wanted to have a shot of the waterbody infront but the sun was still high evidently so I opted to shoot the patio instead.

My Laoag Sand Dunes Adventure

It was my first time to be in theNorthern part of the Philippines. And one of the sites that we went to was called the Sand Dunes of Laog. 

And coming from the Visayas region, the scenery was just to unique for me. Why? To sand in a vast land made of SAND. It was just so unique for me.

This was also the site where they filmed the famous Panday by Fernando "FPJ" Poe  Jr.

 and Mad Max by actor Mel Gibson.  

And behind this unique branch where I pose are mountains of sands where you can slide away to your content.  With a fee of course.

Behind me are mountains of sands, to slide away. Love the ride but not the hike up . But the experience was just awesome.
