Abandoned Philippines Former Presidents Millionaires Hotel (my most haunted exploration)

CHECK OUT MY CLOTHING LINE
frdmxwndr.com/...
Information from the locals -
This hotel was known as The Zamboanga Plaza Hotel & Casino. Opened in 1979 it was the first-ever 5 Star hotel and largest hotel in Zamboanga City and Mindanao during the Marcos Era that only the most wealthy could afford. Celebrities, high political figures from all over the world, and even President Marcos stayed at the hotel for events and meetings.
The facilities consisted of a huge swimming pool with a pool bar, restaurant w/ a coffee shop, a huge function hall, disco room, and casino that was known at its time to be the most beautiful casino in Asia. Walking inside the hotel made you feel like you were walking into a Palace.
But the 5-star hotel closed in 1986 and not much is known why. There are only rumors & speculations as to why it closed down. Some say it was due to bad management or perhaps someone got murdered. Lastly most locals say it was closed because it was affecting the success of other businesses. But in the end, no one really knows the truth.
Now it just sits abandoned with rumors of demons, spirits, & a huge snake lurking deep inside protecting the room were the former President stayed.
***This was filmed months ago, as of right now it's been said to have been purchased and hopefully, this place will be renovated and restored to it's former glory!***

PLEASE VISIT THE DIPLOMAT HOTEL IN BAGUIO CITY

[@lelaifuntv9108]

I did saw an orb.I think it was closed by the new government when Marcos was ousted.

[@michaelangelodelluta716]

Hi Steve. Actually that mansion in Tagaytay City was never been finished and of course not stayed by the Marcos Family. It was just a tourist spot during late '80's. The tourist comes there just to witness the view of the unfinished mansion and from there you can view the overlooking scenario of the Taal Lake and Taal Volcano. It appears just the way it is.

[@joyceminor4169]

Hi,I'm from the city... and can't even dare to get into that creepy hotel... did I just heard it right, some whispers and voices and yes!! Orbssss!!! That was creepy steve!!!

My mom was quite emotional watching this. She used to work in the front desk in the glorious days of the hotel.

[@virgatschannel8851]

Did u ask your mom why it was abandoned?

This was one of the properties that was seized due to its relation to the Marcoses.

The name of the abandoned hotel is PLAZA HOTEL located at Km. 7 Barangay of Pasonanca at it is near also in Zamboanga City Water District (water plant), Pasonaca Park, Swimming pool, The Tree House and a lot more. There is also abandoned Convention Center build under President Marcos administration. Pasonanca is the central barangay of Zamboanga City with a huge Park for jogging and biking with big trees and fresh air and big river. I ❤ Pasonanca...

[@AdventureswithBeck]

Hey Steve. I've been following you for a while now and am happy to see how much you keep growing. I would definitely pick the camera. I've been exploring abandoned buildings and things since I was a kid. I just got into photography about 4 years ago and started taking a camera with me on my adventures. My camera was constantly attached to me and still is. About two years ago my mirror on the inside got scratched during a shoot and it keeps getting worse which you can see in my photos and videos a lot of times. You are one of the people that inspired me to start making KZbin videos and I've even made it to some spots you've done. So it would be pretty cool if I'd be able to say my next camera was from a giveaway you did. Either way thanks for always making great content!

I kept seeing this whenever i go to pasonanca but i never knew that it was a hotel all i knew that i was one of the biggest casinos according to my great grandmother. Marcos era brought prosperity and industrilization in the philippines but due to black propaganda, control by media and the church which had huge influence even up to this days brought down a great era of marcos. So sad, i hope Du30 keeps making philippines great and to his successor i hope it will be bong bong marcos coz ill definetly support without 2nd thoughts!

Hi , thanks for showing this vlog . I wondered what happen to that hotel. Now I know. At one time I thought it was just a figment of my childhood imagination and there wasn't really a hotel there. I grew up in Zamboanga and it was a long time before I came back to visit . And when I came back I did not see that hotel anymore and I just did not ask about it. For those from Zamboanga , picture it in the 1970's and 1980's . Then picture it now. That was how it was for me. I love the progress , but I miss the past. I remember the beautiful flowers and there seem to be a lot of open space before.

Not that old. The city hall of zamboanga and some structures standing til this day are past 100 years old. But it is a waste of people's money though. Specially now government keep building new structures for disasters and for quarantine facility while some structures like this still existing but not used

I'd love to have a professional camera. I've always had a knack for taking really interesting photos of wildlife and the surrounding scenery. I'd love to be able to take great quality photos.

[@mrnilla472]

I was at the mountain beside the hotel yesterday. My mom told me my grandparents used to go to the casino and win money and she and her siblings would just be left at the pool.

[@janelafagaragan8883]

I always dreamed of having a camera when I was 13 now that I'm 16 I want to say it to my parents but I don't want my parents to buy because it's a "want" & it's expensive here in the Philippines. AND I want to discover more about photography and vlogging,but sadly we can't afford it that's why I'm waiting for the perfect time😇♥️

Hi Steve! I’m from Zamboanga peninsula and it’s my first time to hear about that Zamboanga Plaza Hotel & Casino - - thanks to you. And, we’d love to have a drone you’d like to give away. We are homeschooling & it can help us document our lessons on exploring our surroundings & the environment in a different way. Thanks Steve.

[@thebestisyettocome4114]

Steve, you're getting older. And look at so many places you have managed to visit. Mr. Hahn Los Angeles

[@annceffrosalejos5264]

OMGGGGG!!!! STEVE RONIN IS IN MY CITYYYY!!! IM FROM ZAMBOANGA CITY AND IM A ZAMBOANGUEÑO. Now i know whats really the inside of that hotel. Thanks to you steve!! Ure the best! Long live and God bless ❤️

[@wenlovesmsu8912]

Hi I have been subscribed for awhile now...in another life I would love to be an Urban Explorer....so fascinating and drawn in by your travels. I would love a drone...! I am a Realtor and would use it for my work. Now I have to pay people to take Ariel photos of my listings and it would be a great asset to me😁👍🏻🙏🏻

[@Jynx0999]

It's not mismanaged, after EDSA revolution, it was sequestered by PCGG of Pres. Cory Aquino and much later sold to Mr. Lucio Tan, Mr. Tan wanted to reopen it with the condition that the casino will continue to operate but was turned down by then Mayor Caling Lobregat.

[@montyorinza6179]

Thanks for this video,.. damn!, Proud zamboangueño here!!... The thing is, I've been leaving my whole life here in Zamboanga and I've never seen the entire structure of this featured place. Like "Wow!" So amazing, the very first 5star hotel in Mindanao and the most beautiful casino in asia really is a music in my ears. Btw, the dude in the video, already met him about months ago, he used to checked in qith his family in the hotel where I'm currently working. And yeah I guess that was his aunt who told me that his a well known blogger and a native zamboangueño... Hope to see more featured videos about Zamboanga. Muchisimas gracias.

[@montyorinza6179]

And one more thing, I asked my mom about this hotel and she said my grandma used to bring her to this hotel and play at the casino and that the place was used to be so glamorous and very well known at that time....

[@everydayadventureofmichael317]

The whole video is amazing. I didn't know that Marcos' mansion/hotel is located at Zamboanga. I'm from the Philippines and I truly adore Marcos. He's a great President. If I will be the one who's lucky enough to win the camera, I'll capture everything that can be seen on our surroundings. I'm a big fan of nature and I will surely make a Ig account consisting those amazing pictures, It will also be the way I will express my feelings. Looking forward what's next. And Steve, you should wear mask for your protection. :> Take care always!

[@lizagurrea8286]

Marcos is a great President? 🤣🤣🤣 I DON'T THINK SO.

[@miss_someone01]

It was a nice vlog straight to it's point, i like how smooth the transitions too you've captured inside and outside the mansion very well.. I'm just curious what's inside of those other rooms that are lock ,😂 anyway i know you can't go beyond those area. I'm starting up my vlogs too want it to be more about travel and what's more of our place Leyte and were still using our phones this time hope to be included in the give away . Thanks! 🙏

This channel is the only one I watch for exploration..

my mom was working here before, when it was still active.

[@marzelundali5042]

Proud to be a Tausog tribe.tnx for featuring this historical hotel in Zamboanga city,Philippines.

[@thriftytupelonanny4124]

Sad such beautiful places are in such ruin. I would love to have a decent camera to be able to film this place in Tupelo, ms. There are a few houses in one area that have been abandoned for 20 years or more. I think they may have been Parkway houses many years ago.

[@cecerae8637]

Obviously I would love the camera like everone else,there are so many beautiful building out there that time is erasing and to capture it like what you and fellow explores do is important. Good luck to everyone who hopes to win the camera or drone and congratulations to whomever wins 💓🙏👍🏼

[@jeffcortez7576]

This is how Cory Aquino treated the Philippines when she took over the country in 1986. The Glamour and beauty of everything the Philippines had is sadly in this state. I miss the 80’s.

[@annfilart8523]

The hotel must have been impressive back then considering that it depicts the Moro structure and Okir designs (pattern curved in hardwood, brass, silver and wall painting in curvilinear lines and Arabic geometric figures) is seen at the roofing. The combination of colors of the curtains, beddings, carpets & etc..is so Yakan andTausug. Though abandoned and creepy by now , it made a story on Zamboanga’s History. Steeve, I wish you pick me as the recipient of your give away. I am a single mom of 3 grown kids. My PWD youngest daughter would be happy to have one. And nice for her to develop the skill because despite her disability, she has the “ eye” to take good pictures. That would be a big help! More Power! God bless!

[@jediaelsaut9884]

Grew up near this place, and it's just a walking distance from our house. Our church building is just behind that very hotel. I've been soooo curious what's in it, since I was a kid my brothers used to tell me stories about that place (hotel bldg.), the creepy ones, and I used to walk pass by it every sunday tho, thanks for this video po at least my curiosity was fed up a little bit. PS. I really really had some goosebumps when you went to "Pres. Marcos' Room", I felt heavy vibes when you were up there. By the way it's "Tausog" po, not tausos 😊 Godblessyou more and thank you for visiting Zamboanga 😊

Is it okay to enter this place? If I try no one will arrest me right?

[@isselcorpuz5435]

This is an interesting vlog, a glimpse to the past. I wonder what it looked like at its glory. Your channel just popped out in my list, glad I’ve come across it. I can do with a drone though, would love to take aerial shots of my lupang sinilangan.😉

[@nicholastan5146]

Hi Steve! My mom was a kid in the 80's and she still remembers, a little bit vaguely about running around the grounds at the Zamboanga Plaza Hotel. My grandad was in politics before and she said they would hold meetings at the lobby coffee shop, etc... hold parties at the function rooms and play casino sporadically... At that era, the hotel was indeed grand. I have my theory about it's closure in '86... It was closed because Former President Marcos was forced to leave this country during the revolution at that time and the new administration were-I guess say it like it is, being petty. My mom fondly remembers getting a pack of Hershey Kisses whenever my grandad would win some when he gets home... Kids will be kids. If it happened today, she'd ask for a designer purse!haha He wasn't really a gambler because he's pragmatic, just "pakisama" as they would say it. Anyway, I hope I get to win a camera, my cousin and I would wanna be just like you.
