The official residence and principal workplace of the president of the Philippines is called Malacañang Palace (Tagalog: Palasyo ng Malakanyang). It is located in the San Miguel district of Manila and serves as the main seat of the executive branch of the Philippine government
. While Malacañang Palace is the official residence, many recent presidents have chosen to live in a nearby residential building within the palace complex called the Bahay Pangulo (formerly known as Bahay Pangarap). This house serves as the president's private residence, separate from the main palace which functions primarily as the official workplace and ceremonial venue
. In summary:
- Malacañang Palace is the official residence and principal workplace of the president.
- Bahay Pangulo is the current official private residence used by some presidents within the Malacañang Palace complex.
This arrangement reflects the historical and functional roles of the palace complex in Philippine governance
