When one thinks of Zambales, the name of Ramon Magsaysay is never far behind. Born in Iba (the province’s capital) the former beloved Philippine president actually grew up in the town of Castillejos where his Ancestors originated and where the Magsaysay Ancestral House was built. The modest two-storey structure became witness to the early childhood years of the 7th President of the Philippines, where he learned the values of hard work, honesty and humility. Now, the ancestral house, located on the town’s main street, has transformed into a haven of memories of the People’s President – illustrating the life he led, from his personal belongings such as his trademark Barong Tagalog and polo shirts, 1950’s furnishing to the 1954 Cadillac Limousine he used during his presidency. Visiting the Magsaysay Ancestral House gives not only a feeling of nostalgia but also a sense of pride, knowing one of the most admired men in history had lived in this part of town. | |||
