People's Park in the Sky

[2] During the dictatorship of President Ferdinand Marcos, Sr, First Lady Imelda Marcos decided to build a mansion on government land atop Mount Sungay (also known as Mount Gonzales), the highest point in the province of Cavite.

Construction of the mansion was hastened when U.S. President Ronald Reagan announced his intention to visit the Philippines in November of 1983.

It was reported that the Marcos administration planned to accommodate Reagan at the mansion, but construction halted after the White House canceled the trip.

Following Marcos’ ouster in the People Power Revolution in February 1986, critics described the unfinished mansion as a symbol of his regime’s excess.
