COCONUT PALACE

The Coconut Palace, also known as Tahanang Pilipino, translated, 'Filipino Home', was commissioned in 1978 by former First Lady Imelda Marcos as a government guest house and offered to Pope John Paul II during the Papal visit to the Philippines in 1981 as his temporary residence but was kindly declined.

The Coconut Palace is made of several types of Philippine hardwood, coconut shells, and coconut lumber.
