North Philippines, 4/16/2006 "Balay Ti Amianan" means "Malacanang of the North". Popularly known as Malacañang of the North (in Philippines), the 2-storey stone and wood mansion was built on a slightly elevated area overlooking Lake Paoay. Designed as a resthouse, it has wide windows as if to welcome the breeze from the lake into the house. And, even wider verandas for a good view of the lake. The imposing structure is now a museum through which visitors can roam freely after paying a nominal charge
