MANILA — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. reflected on unsettling experiences he encountered as a child at the Mansion House in Baguio City, the country's official presidential summer retreat nestled in the highland city's cool climate.
During visits to the residence, the chief executive reported sensing an inexplicable presence that left an impression on him during his younger years. The mansion, which has served successive Philippine administrations, has developed a reputation among both guests and caretakers for harboring mysterious occurrences that remain difficult to explain.
The presidential compound has accumulated numerous accounts of eerie encounters from those who have stayed or worked within its walls over the decades. While such anecdotal reports have circulated informally among staff and visitors, they have become part of the lore surrounding the historic residence.
The Mansion House continues to function as a retreat for the sitting president during official visits to Baguio City, which sits approximately 1,500 meters above sea level and serves as a popular destination during the warmer months in the lowlands.
