MANILA — The government launched Monday the official Facebook page of Malacanang Palace ahead of its sesquicentennial year next year.
\nPresidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda said the Facebook page dubbed “Malaca\u00f1an Palace,” features the transformation of the Malacanang from a simple summer house to an official residence and workplace of the country’s President.
\n“The official Facebook page of Malaca\u00f1an Palace by the Presidential Museum and Library was launched today in advance of the sesquicentennial of Malaca\u00f1an Palace next year,” he said in a statement.
\n“The Facebook page features a rich heritage from its beginnings as a riverside rest house owned by the Rocha family to its establishment as the seat of power where Spanish and American Governors-General held office, and as the official residence of the presidents of the Philippines,” he added.
\nPublished in conjunction with the Presidential Museum and Library website (www.malacanang.gov.ph) and the Presidential Museum and Library Tumblr account (tumblr.malacanang.gov.ph), these online resources are part of the mandate of the Presidential Communications Development and Strategic Planning Office (PCDSPO) as official custodian of the institutional memory of the Office of the President, Lacierda said.
\nHe noted that the initiative of the project is aimed at harnessing social media to share the history, residents, traditions, and legacy of Malaca\u00f1an Palace to a diverse online audience.
\nLacierda said netizens can contribute their own pictures and memories of the Palace in the Facebook page.
\n“This way, Malaca\u00f1an Palace is opened to the public through inclusive and people-centric social media,” he said.
\nAs of 12:15 Monday, the Malaca\u00f1an Palace page already has 1,177 likes which Lacierda said “is indicative of strong interest in the project.” (Jill Beltran\/Sunnex)
