Coconut Palace

It's the official residence of the vice president of the Philippines. Building structure and surrounding is very good and refreshing. Need to have an appointment to go inside.

That thing you don't like about yourself is what makes you really interesting.

Seeing that Ctrip commented that 50 people could enter a day, I took a taxi early. When I arrived at the door, I said that it was not open to the outside world. We could only take pictures from a distance across the road.

Remember, this is now where the vice president lives, you have to get GSIS permission to enter, I have emailed them but I have not received a reply. Remember, otherwise you can only look outside the gate and take photos

A great place to rest

Coconut womb (Coconut Palace), also known as Tahanang Pilipino (Philippine House), located in the park of the Philippines Cultural Center in Manila, formerly the state guesthouse in the Philippines, and also served as the residence and office of the vice president of the Philippines. Coconut wombs, as the name implies, are architecturally characterized by coconuts, and most of the building materials are taken from coconut wood and coconut shells. The building is octagonal and the roof is similar to the traditional Salakot hat in the Philippines. The interiors are mostly coconut-related, including chandeliers assembled in 101 coconut shells and a dining table assembled in 40,000 pieces of coconut shell fragments. The seven rooms on the second floor are named after the province of the Philippines and display the handicrafts produced in the province.

Coconut Palace is made of several types of Philippine hardwood, coconut shells, and a specially engineered coconut lumber apparently known as Imelda Madera.
