There's more to "The Mansion"

Coming from the Wright Park and just we were about to cross the street towards The Mansion, we spotted three big tourists buses also heading towards the famous tourist spot. Yeah right, a lot of tourist in this area at the same time would mean no chance of taking good pictures..argh!


And so, without further delay, we literally ran to at least get ahead of them. J And guess what; we managed to get a number of good shots just before they get in the area. Lucky isn’t it?


But hey, what’s really in it about The Mansion that everybody would like to get a sight of it when in Baguio City? Well, it’s the summer residence of the President of the Philippines and also its official residence when in the City. As an official home of the highest leader in the country, I think it’s merely understandable why everyone is just curious about it.
 

But wait, after visiting the place, I just learned that a lot of historical events took place in this area, giving more reasons why indeed one would visit it when in the City of Pines. As to what these events please see picture below.


For security reasons, tourists are only allowed to enter a little past the gate though but enough area to have a picture perfect shoot of the well known spot.
