Background
Formerly called the Palace in the Sky and listed as one of the "Must See" park in Tagaytay City. People's Park in the Sky is a government-owned park. The supposed palace was built in 1979 during the Marcos regime. It was to serve as a guest house for then U.S. President Ronald Reagan who was to visit the Philippines. The EDSA People Power happened, the Marcoses was ousted, the visit never transpired.

The Tagaytay Trip
We took the opportunity to travel to Tagaytay City for a side trip after our planned day hike to Mount Batulao at Nasugbu, Batangas. Usually if you've gone to Nasugbu, Batangas coming from Manila, you will passed by the city of Tagaytay.
Before going back to Manila we headed to Olivarez, Tagaytay to visit and enjoy sight-seeing of the beautiful beaches, the Taal Volcano, Taal Lake, etc.
The splendid view of Taal Volcano and Taal Lake
Arriving at the City of Tagaytay:
People's Park in the Sky
The park is one of the most popular tourist spot in Tagaytay City. As suggested by a fellow mountaineer, we then decided to take a tour of the said park. The park mostly visited on sunny days not on rainy days, be forwarded. Although the park seems abandoned and not maintained, you will be astonished of the different view offered. In addition, you can also view the Taal Lake and Taal.
