The Mansion House is the official house of the President of the Philippines north of Manila. If the President goes to Baguio City, he/she stays at the Mansion House.

There are usually guards in front of the Mansion House and they sometimes just ask some questions when they stop you. They are very friendly and sometimes when you are done taking pictures, they ask you to buy a shirt or a pin from them.

I bought a yellow Filipino shirt and a Filipino pin just to be nice to them. If you are alone travelling, you can even ask them to take your pictures!

Ornate iron gates open to the Mansion House, the official summer residence of Philippine presidents. It offers tourists with great photo opportunities with its rectangular reflecting pool along a tree-lined walkway. It also houses a museum of presidential memorabilia. Near the Mansion House is Wright Park where neophyte riders can trot around an oval track guided by trainers who lead horses with a hand-held leash. At the Mines View Park, tourists can have a panoramic view of the old mines of Benguet. At the park entrance is a flea market for souvenir items.
