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? ] 06:33, 16 May 2006 (UTC) |

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)

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