People's Park in the Sky
December 6, 2009People's Park in the Sky
Palace in the Sky , the unfinished mansion of former President Ferdinand Marcos, has been converted and renamed the People's Park in the Sky . Without a doubt this offers the most speculator view of Taal volcano, no if, ands or buts about it!
The Palace in the Sky
was built for the official state visit of the former US President and
Mrs. Ronald Reagan, though the Reagan's cancelled their trip due to the
general unrest and Marcos' problems at the time. Looking at the shell
of the palace today, it's hard to imagine the opulence and splendor it
enjoyed during its heyday. Hollywood stars like George Hamilton entertained the Marcos'and their cronies with such ostentatious and fragrant displays of
wasting money, it became one of the final nails in the Marcos'
political coffin.
