We find the ancestral house simple but historic. The furniture and the things inside the house were maintained well and they revealed a comfortable life for the occupants. Pictures and personal things of the two presidents were preserved

The house is so simple yet elegant. Two presidents inhabited the house, Pres. Diosdado and Pres. Gloria. What you will see there are more on portraits of the family. But there is one really amazing portrait of Pres. Gloria. In fairness, sexy si Madam Glo.
There are also some gifts from the Maranao friends handed to Mrs. Macapagal.
It is located just beside Timoga Cold Spring. it is in your left if you are travelling going to Lanao del Sur. There is a minimal entrance fee, a sort of donation. They are open Monday to Saturday until 4pm only.

It's one of those usual ancestral house you could find in the Philippines. If you're a fan of the Macapagal's, this is a must see. Well, be prepared to see the young Gloria Arroyo's portrait.

This is one of the tourist attractions in Iligan where you don't have to spend much. It has no entrance fees or whatsoever and you got to see a piece of history about our late president Diosdado Macapagal and a glimpse of the childhood of our lady president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
You will be surprised with one of the portraits there. Haha its a must see.
After the tour you can then swim and enjoy the cold spring waters of Timoga pools.

This is the heritage house of Macaraeg-Macapagal. The former president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo's family. They donated this to the government and now, tourism is handling the house.
The house itself is old but well-maintained. You can even ask permission to hold a photo shoot here. They also have a function hall.
The house is right beside the Timoga Cold Springs so if visitors have the extra time, this is a good place to visit.

Macaraeg Mansion is along the timoga resort in which its very accessible from the tourist. I wonder if its open for the public as to when we went there its a company activity. The place is well preserved and clean. The place will definitely catch your attention as its very big and resembles spanish times house. Feel free to take a pic outside the gate to add in your memories. Two former presidents had reside in the house.

Once a home of 2 former Philippine presidents and now a venue to host parties and weddings. Come and visit the place to see memorabilia.

This is a few minutes from Ma. Cristina Falls (about 3 hours from laguindingan airport). You need a private van to get here. you can also drop by iligan centro to buy peanuts. You can see here the play house of former philippine president gloria arroyo and their ancestral house in general and that's it. If you are an arroyo , you must definitely visit this place.
