Cabuyao Mansion (formerly the Marcos Twin Mansion) is a government-owned mansion located at Brgy. Casile, Cabuyao City. The mansion was built in the 1980s during the administration of the former Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos.

However, in 2017 the Supreme Court of the Philippines has released a hold order on this, and the property is still currently under control of the Presidential Commission on Good Government. [1] [2]
