The Coconut Palace, formally known as Tahanang Pilipino, reopens to the public on Tuesday, August 25, following extensive renovations in Pasay City. Designed by National Artist for Architecture Francisco “Bobby” Mañosa, the landmark is renowned for its distinctive Filipino architecture and extensive use of coconut and other indigenous materials.

The revitalized venue will serve as one of the sites for the 49th Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Leaders’ Summit, scheduled for November 10 to 12, 2026.

Commissioned in 1978 as a government guest house for foreign dignitaries, the Coconut Palace was declared an Important Cultural Property by the National Museum of the Philippines in 2023. Its reopening aims to preserve and promote Filipino heritage while providing a venue for cultural programs, official functions, educational activities, tourism initiatives, and other events that showcase Filipino identity and craftsmanship.
