Album Info:
(DSC01585) Not to be missed when visiting Tacloban City in Leyte province is the Romualdez Museum (or the Santo Nino Shrine & Heritage Museum). The Romualdezes of Leyte is the family of former first lady Imelda Romualdez Marcos, wife of the late Philippine President & dictator, Ferdinand Marcos. The mansion was constructed in the 1980s to showcase Imelda's "aristocratic taste and origins." The intricate workmanship of Filipino artisans and wood carvers is reflected in the building itself, from the facade to the walls and ceiling, from the wooden art center pieces to the elaborate decorative metal latticework. With the succeeding photos, one can appreciate Filipino talent & artistry, while at the same time see just how extravagant one can get if given the freedom to spend money that is seemingly unlimited, but at the expense of the Filipino masses.
