From the Home of Great Leaders, we proceeded to the Malacañang of the North (Malacañang Ti Amihan). Located on top of the hill, the mansion overlooks the whole of the magical Paoay Lake.
You can observed from outside that the place used to be grand but is now dilapidated. It is made of hard wood and its interiors furnished with narra. At the back of the mansion is the grand porch facing the lake. On the lake, used to float was the presidential boat of the Marcoses.
Legend has it that beneath the lake was once a properous village where rich but wicked people lived. One night a great flood covered the whole place under feet of water after ignoring the warning of a mysterious old woman who came to the place.
Whether the story is true or not, Paoay Lake is really enchanting.
