First Lady Liza Marcos led the opening rites together with Tourism Secretary Christina Frasco, Education Secretary Sonny Angara and other officials.

Apart from boosting the local economy, Frasco said the Presidential Museum will also give both international and local tourists an insight into the histories and legacies of the Philippines presidents and their contribution to nation-building.

“This will inevitably I’m sure also help our local economy here in Baguio with the tourists that will be coming in, the suppliers also that will benefit from added touristic activities in the area,” Frasco told reporters.
