Under the Malacañang Heritage Tours, Bahay Ugnayan Museum and Teus Mansion will be offering free guided tours to visitors to explore the lives and legacies of the country's leaders.

The Bahay Ugnayan Museum features President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.'s road to the presidency, showcasing the defining moments of his tenure and campaign materials that paved the path to his presidency.

The museum also features gifts from Marcos supporters and materials used in his electoral protests against former vice president Leni Robredo in the vice-presidential race in 2016.

The Teus Mansion, on the other hand, showcases the memorabilia of the country's chief executives. Presidential attire, footwear, flags, and exquisitely sculpted busts are displayed inside the museum, paying homage to the revered leaders. It also dedicates a corner to the portraits of the First Ladies.

"The Malacañang Heritage Tours provide a unique opportunity for individuals seeking a deeper appreciation for the remarkable past and distinguished leaders of the Philippines. It stands as a must-see attraction, offering an engaging and enlightening experience that delves into the rich tapestry of Philippine history," the Palace said in a statement.

Both museums are open starting June 1. Guided tours will be available from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. for free but visitors need to make a reservation first, Malacañang said.

In addition to the Malacañang Heritage Tours, the Goldenberg Series was also launched. It will serve as a platform to raise awareness and celebrate the diverse cultural heritage of the Philippines through a variety of captivating events.

According to Malacañang, Goldenberg Series will feature performances, exhibitions, and educational programs, showcasing the richness and vibrancy of Filipino culture.

The Goldenberg Series also serves as a stepping stone for emerging artists and cultural practitioners, providing them the opportunity to showcase their talents and contribute to the preservation and promotion of the country's cultural identity.

Marcos earlier signed Executive Order 26 creating an advisory board and management body to oversee the maintenance and preservation of Malacañang heritage mansions and buildings of historical importance.

First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos took the initiative to preserve the contribution of the Philippine presidents through the Malacañang Heritage Tours.
