The Coconut Palace, also known as the "Coconut Museum", was established in 1978 with an investment of 37 million pesos during the Marcos era. It is Marcos' presidential palace hotel. Located in the cultural middle area, facing Manila Bay, this magnificent building consists of seven palatial suites. Today, Coconut Palace is a very famous wedding destination in the Philippines. The Coconut Palace is a huge project, using a total of 2,000 coconut trees over 70 years old. The roof is made of coconut boards, the pillars are made of coconut tree trunks, the walls are made of "coconut bricks" made of wool fibers and cement from coconut shells, and the gate is inlaid with geometric patterns composed of more than 4,000 coconut shells. There are countless coconut products in the palace. The dining room has a 36-foot dining table inlaid with 47,000 pieces of coconut shells of various shapes. Every year during the peak tourist season, there are workers from coconut forest plantations performing performances. They climbed the coconut trees with their bare hands to pick coconuts, chopped them with small axes and poured out coconut juice, and invited the tourists present to taste them for free.

That thing you don't like about yourself is what makes you really interesting.
Seeing that Ctrip commented that 50 people could enter a day, I took a taxi early. When I arrived at the door, I said that it was not open to the outside world. We could only take pictures from a distance across the road.
Remember, this is now where the vice president lives, you have to get GSIS permission to enter, I have emailed them but I have not received a reply. Remember, otherwise you can only look outside the gate and take photos
Coconut womb (Coconut Palace), also known as Tahanang Pilipino (Philippine House), located in the park of the Philippines Cultural Center in Manila, formerly the state guesthouse in the Philippines, and also served as the residence and office of the vice president of the Philippines. Coconut wombs, as the name implies, are architecturally characterized by coconuts, and most of the building materials are taken from coconut wood and coconut shells. The building is octagonal and the roof is similar to the traditional Salakot hat in the Philippines. The interiors are mostly coconut-related, including chandeliers assembled in 101 coconut shells and a dining table assembled in 40,000 pieces of coconut shell fragments. The seven rooms on the second floor are named after the province of the Philippines and display the handicrafts produced in the province.
Coconut Palace is made of several types of Philippine hardwood, coconut shells, and a specially engineered coconut lumber apparently known as Imelda Madera.
the place is amazing and historically
