TODAY IN PHILIPPINE HISTORY:

President Fidel Ramos opened two Malacañang extension offices, one in Cebu and the other in Davao, as part of his campaign promise to make the seat of power accessible in the Visayas and Mindanao.

Malacañang Palace is the official residence of the President of the Philippines. It also houses some national government offices such as the Malacañang Museum and the Presidential Museum.

The Malacanang in the Visayas is located in Cebu City. It is a building originally built in 1910 which previously housed the Bureau of Customs office in the Port of Cebu City. The building was restored in 2004 during the administration of Gloria Arroyo.
