At the Royal Regalla Museum Brunei

The presenters from the Philippines took their time off to visit the Royal Regalla Museum in downtown Brunei Darussalam. Well, what else is there to see in Brunei if not the Royal Regalla Museum? I personally enjoyed my visit to this museum and have seen the many lavish gifts that world leaders and other world Royalty gave to the beloved Sultan of Brunei Darussalam.

I saw the gifts given by Philippine presidents from Cory Aquino, Fidel Ramos to Erap Estrada, and to PGMA. Of the gifts, PGMA has given as much and very commendable indeed as it represented the country. It is in this visit that I knew that PGMA has been conferred a Royal title in Brunei and as such, is one of the few world leaders who have been featured in the Royal Medallion section of the museum. In this section, you can see the Royal Titles that the Sultan has received and has bestowed on deserving citizens of the world.

I also saw the original gold carriage that took Sultan Bolkiah down the streets of Brunei during his Silver Anniversary. It's enormous and has been a great way to show pageantry and opulence.
