This can be your all-in-one resource portal to Philippine government agencies and their websites.
Office Of The President
As of July 22 2010 there is almost nothing on this website. The new president has just been sworn in and it appears the first thing they did was remove all the old content! Wow Philippines. I told you before, you’re going to a different planet. It may be amusing to the Westerner but that doesn’t make your way better, just different.
The office of the President is often referred to as Malacañang or Malacañang Palace.
just like we refer to the White House in the USA when referring to the president or his administration.
