Malacañan Palace, Manila - We were privileged to be given a tour of the historic facilities and living quarters of the serving President (currently “Bongbong” Marcos, son of Ferdinand and Imelda, who also grew up in Malacañan Palace) and it did not disappoint! I bought my own barong to wear for the occasion, and was fascinated with the history preserved within. Our guide was passionate and knowledgeable, and the rooms were most impressive. We ended the tour with a lovely lunch at Cabel @bycabel.ph - a wonderful new eatery in the Malacañang area 🇵🇭🎖️🍲 . . @joatwood @zaneta.encarnacion @audie.decastro @i.am.pam @livingcatrina #philippines #malacañang #malacañanpalace #manila #kapwatour2023 #visitphilippines #travelphilippines #palace #palacetour #filipino #filipina #filipinoamerican #sandiegofilipinos #barong #imeldamarcos #coryaquino #filipinohistory #mestiza #tattooer #ladytattooers #filipinatattooartist #filipinotattooartist #pinay (at Malacañang Palace) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoYtqCLN6dW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

People Power Transistor Radio
First memory: Early 90s, as far back as I can remember
Salvaged in: 2017
A transistor radio with white paint artwork depicting the events of the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution, the event that ultimately ended President Marcos’ reign and cemented Corazon Aquino’s place in Philippine History.
My father is a former soldier and this radio was a part of his holy trinity of devices along with his flashlight and his rifle. With a low power consumption, old flashlight batteries (Eveready; rechargeables uncommon in those days) can still go a long way inside the transistor.
My memories with this radio are almost always linked to depressing news in the AM channel: news of typhoons, assassinations and massacres. This is also where my father first heard the news about Mount Pinatubo’s eruption in 1991 before receiving orders of deployment as a rescuer (we were, and still are, living in Zambales).
