The shoes are gone, but you can still take a tour of the place the President of the Philippines calls home. Malacanang was once a stone house, bought by Colonel Luis Miguel Formento in 1802 for the grand sum of P1100. In 1825, the Spanish Government bought it for P5100, and, in 1849, made it the summer residence of the Governor General in the Philippines. Rooms were added and renovations made, but on a number of occasions the building was damaged either by earthquake or typhoon. During the last major renovation in 1978, it underwent extensive interior and exterior changes, and was expanded to its present size. Only a portion now of the basement remains from the original structure. Malacanang will forever be associated with the excesses of the Marcoses. When Cory Aquino became President she didn't want to associate herself with her profligate predecessors and refused to use the palace as a home, keeping it only for official functions. She opened parts of it as a museum for Marcos memorabilia, but when Fidel Ramos took over he severed the Marcos connection and asked that the museum focus only on Philippine presidential history, although the Marcos Room does contain some of the late dictator's personal belongings. Current president Gloria Arroyo uses about two-thirds of the palace for her official functions and duties, while the museum takes up about one-third. Malacanang Museum (Mon-Fri 9am-3pm; tel 02/733 3721 or 734 7421) is in JP Laurel Street, San Miguel, Manila. A guided tour costs P200 and a non-guided tour P40.

Dear Sir/Madam:
I am GERARDO T. CATALAN, a Dentist by profession with Special Education background and would like to seek your assistance with regards to the possibility of working with any government institution inspite of a disability.
I have been a dentist for more than 15 years now and currently with Masters in Special Education for Exceptional Children at the University of the Phillippines having completed more than 32 Credit Units including in Sign Language for Deaf Persons and with the College of St. Benilde of the La Salle University in Taft, Manila.
Although, a dentist by profession, I realized that aside from attending to regular patients, it would humane too attend to Children most especially with Special Needs at the Dental Office with proper management and strategy such as those conditions with Autism, ADHD, Downe’s Syndrome, Mental Retardation, Cerebral Palsy and suffering from Hearing Impairment[s].
I also teach piano for those musically inclined exceptional children such as with the conditions of Autism and the like.
Should you reconsider and find such skill of interest either as a Dentist with Special Education background or as a Dentist alone, please don’t hesitate to contact me at the address stated above or thru my email account and Office Number.
