Macaraeg-Macapagal Ancestral House

Location

          Along the national highway, Barangay Buru-un
          



Description

A quaint house beside the cool and crystal clear spring waters of Timoga and where the constant murmuring of eddying waters could lull the tired soul to sleep amidst the greenery and chirping of birds.  This is the ancestral house of the late first lady Evangeline Macaraeg-Macapagal, mother of  former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.   In 1994, upon the instigation of the late former President Diosdado Macapagal, the lot where the house stands and a two-hectare cocoland nearby were donated to the City Government of Iligan for the purpose of developing the place into a tourist destination with a memorabilia of the Macaraeg-Macapagal Family.
