Bahay Ugnayan

Road to Malacañang

From the Spanish colonial times until the present, the assumption to the highest executive position in the country was seen as a prize.

The Spanish governors viewed the position as a reward for years of loyal service to the Spanish crown.  The American administrators regarded the governorship of the islands as their just compensation for their loyalty to their political parties.  Filipino politicians also viewed the presidency as a prize, so much so that they'd spend much of their personal resources- time, effort, and money to eventually reach this position.

Part and parcel of this aspiration to the presidency is Malacañang and the edifices within its complex. Malacañang is where the president works and lives.  Within the complex lies Bahay Ugnayan, a fully-refurbished heritage mansion that chronicles the life of our 17th President. 

This is where the story of our current chief executive unfolds.  

The name of this old structure literally translates to “House of Correlations,” allow us to connect you with our current president, His Excellency Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. with items and stories that showcase his journey to the palace.

The museum is a timeline of the key events that occured in the life of President Bongbong Marcos.  It starts from his birth, his education, his first venture into politics, the meaningful stories of his personal and political life and concludes with his victory as the 17th President of the Republic of the Philippines.  Witness the story of a man whose destiny is etched in service to his country.
