Although not officially designated as such, the city of San Juan could also be called the “Town of Philippine Presidents.” Four of the last nine presidents since the country became a republic in 1946 were official residents of San Juan when they assumed office. They were the Macapagal pére et fille, Diosdado Sr. (1961–1965) and his daughter Gloria (2001–2010); Ferdinand Marcos (1965–1986); and Joseph Estrada (1998–2001).
