People's Park in the Sky

People's Park in The Sky is one of the famous destination in Tagaytay. Entrace fee is Php30.
It was originally intended by the former first lady Imelda Marcos in 1979 as a guesthouse for Ronald Reagan, which was the California Governor at that time, who never arrived. The half-finished Palace in the Sky became the People's Park in the Sky after the People Power Revolution.

There he is enjoying every minute of it!
Make sure to visit People's Park in the Sky before 7:00am to experience the thickness of fog and coldness of air. The area is great for taking pictures and of course a fantastic view.
