The windows of the ''torogan'' are slits and richly framed in wood panels with ''okir'' designs located in front of the house. The communal kitchen is half a meter lower than the main house and is both used for cooking and eating. The distinct high gable roof of the ''torogan'', thin at the apex and gracefully flaring out to the eaves, sits on a huge structures enclosed by slabs of timber and lifted more than two meters above the ground by a huge trunk of a tree that was set on a rock. The end floor beams lengthen as panolongs the seemed to lift up the whole house. The torogan is suffused with decorations. There were diongal at the apex of the roof, also an intricately carved tinai a walai, ''okir'' designs in the floor, on windows and on panolongs.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://habagatcentral.com/2012/02/16/torogan-the-forgotten-heritage-of-dayawan-marawi|title=Torogan: The Forgotten Heritage of Dayawan Marawi – HabagatCentral|work=HabagatCentral|access-date=17 March 2015|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150123172315/http://habagatcentral.com/2012/02/16/torogan-the-forgotten-heritage-of-dayawan-marawi/|archive-date=23 January 2015|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

The people in the southern part of Philippines built the same wooden palaces such as the ''langgal'' of the [[Tausug people|Tausug]]. In the [[Sultanate of Sulu]], a palace was built for the sultans and was named [[Darul Jambangan|Astana Darul Jambangan]] (white adobe), which was destroyed by a typhoon in 1912. A replica of the royal palace has been rebuilt as an attraction in Mt. Bayug Eco-Cultural Park in the town of [[Talipao, Sulu]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.eazytraveler.net/2014/11/sulu-sultan-royal-palace-replica/|title=Talipao, Sulu: Sleeping Like a Sultan at the Royal Palace Replica|date=12 November 2014|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170113162939/http://www.eazytraveler.net/2014/11/sulu-sultan-royal-palace-replica/|archive-date=13 January 2017|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

During the [[History of the Philippines (1565–1898)|Spanish era]], the government of the [[Spanish East Indies]] built a succession of palaces in and around [[Manila]] for high colonial officials and religious authorities. The most famous of these is the 18th-century [[Malacañang Palace]], which originally housed Spanish and American [[Governor-General of the Philippines|governors-general]] and, since the [[Commonwealth of the Philippines|Commonwealth]], the [[president of the Philippines]].

Former president and strongman [[Ferdinand Marcos]] had [[Coconut Palace]] constructed in 1978 to showcase the country's varied uses for the [[coconut]]. It serves as the home and office of the [[Vice-President of the Philippines|vice-president]]. In 2004, President [[Gloria Macapagal Arroyo]] converted the former ''Aduana'' (customs house) in [[Cebu City]] into a small palace, called [[Malacañang sa Sugbo]].
