Rody wants to open Palace to kids
DAVAO CITY, Philippines – President Duterte wants kindergarten and Grade 1 students to be first to see Malacañang Palace, the country’s seat of power, as he reiterated his desire to make the people feel it was built for them.
The President said he was expecting Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea Jr. to come up with a program that would enable children to see the Palace for themselves.
The President said the program would include those in higher grades later on while on certain days, others could also visit the Palace.
Since he was elected into office, Duterte has been saying Malacañang would open its doors to the poor, especially the children, and even the communists.
He also said he would prefer to call it the “People’s Palace.”
Duterte stressed the Filipino people were entitled to see and visit Malacañang, particularly the museum.
The Presidential Museum and Library is the primary office within the Office of the President responsible for preserving, managing and promoting the history and heritage of the Philippine presidency, and particularly of Malacañang Palace as its official seat.
