Talk:Malacañang Palace

Name

If it's "Malacañang Palace" is erroneous, why don't we move the article then to "Malacañan Palace"?

Because it is not erroneous. AFAIK, both Malacañang Palace and Malacañan Palace are correct. --Jojit fb 08:01, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

According to this site, the two are always interchangeable. --Jojit fb 08:10, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

Not so long ago a signpost was erected along Osmeña Ave., and it displays "MALACAÑAN". Perhaps we should rename the article, or should the current title be retained?

Malacañang Palace is the most popular name so that should be the article name. --Howard the Duck | talk, 05:48, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

You still have the problem that officially, it is Malacañan Palace and Malacañang. So better to apply a consistent policy: are official residences referred to by their popular name and spelling, or according to the official terminology? Gareon 06:33, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Can you cite reliable sources regarding its official name? This is the only way to resolve the issue otherwise the popular name should be its title here in Wikipedia. --Jojit fb 06:39, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

As said at WP:NC:

Generally, article naming should give priority to what the majority of English speakers would most easily recognize, with a reasonable minimum of ambiguity, while at the same time making linking to those articles easy and second nature.

IMHO, most English language speakers and even Pinoys easily recognize Malacanang, not Malacanan. --Howard the Duck | talk, 09:08, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

That's clear then. Re: reliable source, there's the official stationery of the president, and the official history of the Palace which was published in 2005.Gareon 10:22, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Just added some sourced material on the name.Anyo Niminus (talk) 23:59, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

http://www.gov.ph/2011/01/17/briefer-on-the-new-malacanang-briefing-room-signage/ - On the issue of the name:

“ In 1986, by means of her presidential issuances, President Corazon C. Aquino officially restored the designation of Malacañan Palace for the residence of the President of the Philippines—it had officially been changed to Malacañang in 1953 during the Magsaysay administration. A distinction was made between Malacañan Palace as the designation for the official residence of the President, and Malacañang as shorthand for the Office of the President of the Philippines.

This is why, for example, today, executive issuances such as Executive Orders and Proclamations personally signed by the President of the Philippines bear the header Malacañan Palace, while executive issuances delegated to subordinates and signed by them, bear the heading Malacañang. President Corazon Aquino’s restoration of the designation Malacañan Palace was reflected in official stationery, and signage, including the backdrop for press briefings and conferences featuring the Pasig River façade of the Palace.

”

If we are talking about the official usage, then the above statement from the Official Gazette makes it clear that Malacañan Palace is the name of the building itself, while Malacañang (without the word "Palace") is refers to the Office of the President. However, the popular name must also be considered. Mk32 (talk) 20:37, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Summarize

This article seems to be too long so it needs to shorten. Only the important details must be emphasize. I'm sure that not all of the information in this article is correct and sure. Please allow me to share my ideas by giving some suggestions and requests:

• Check all the information in this article, by finding reliable references or visiting and taking a tour around the Malacañang Palace.
• Summarizing the Main Article. As i search about several Presidential Palace and some different architectures, I found out that Halls, Buildings and more about the interior of the structure was not given more attention. but i recommend that Palace halls must be separated into another article. but the section Palace Halls will remain in this article but it must be change to a Gallery.
• Lastly, I recommend this as a structure of the article:

1. Etymology
2. History
3. Interior of the Palace (this is a separate article which include the Entrance Hall, Heroes Hall, Grand Staircase, Reception Hall, Ceremonial Hall, State Dining Room, Rizal Room, The Music Room, Private Quarters, Mabini Hall, Administration and Executive Buildings, The Presidential Study, New Executive Building, Kalayaan Hall, The Malacañang Museum, The Former Presidential Museum Bonifacio Hall, The Premier Guest House, Palace Guesthouses and Malacañang Park and the Bahay Pangarap}
4. Gardens
5. Malacañang Grounds

I hope my idea will help to improve and this article to a better one, giving correct information on correct and proper way... - 121.54.2.91 (talk) 16:38, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
