One of the things I remembered most in Tacloban is this Shrine. Actually, it's more of a mansion with a shrine. The first time I saw it, I can't believe seeing a very grand and lavish mansion. To say it's huge is an understatement. But knowing that this is previously owned by the Marcoses (as one of their rest houses) and funded by our dearest country, it's no wonder that it should be like that. It's an ironic landmark for a quite poor province.
This mansion was built for Imelda Marcos since she hails from this side of the country. It consists of 13 guestrooms with each room having a different theme.
Its location is very accessible via jeepney. You will always pass by it whenever going in and out of the town. It is open from Monday to Sunday, 8:00AM to 5:00PM. It is a 30 minute guided tour so taking picture is quite limited.
Let's begin with the tour... just imagine that it is still in its grandest form... The Shrine is the starting point.
Everything here are gifts from other countries. The pieces are simply the finest amongst the finest. Just check this Italian leather wall.
