The results of the project were heart-warming
- The Malacañan Place (The Official Illustrated History) became the singular most substantial tangible keepsake of the sesquicentennial anniversary of the Palace. (Only a commemorative stamp and a plaque posted by the National Historical Commission on the centuries-old balete tree in the Kalayaan courtyard were the activities of the 150-year milestone.)
- Most importantly, the Malacañan Place (The Official Illustrated History) became the sole official gift of President Aquino during his 10-day trip to Europe. The boxed version was given to H.M. King Philippe of Belgium, Prime Minster Elio di Rupo of Belgium, H.M. King Felipe IV of Spain, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy of Spain, President Francois Hollande of France, Prime Minister Manuel Valls of France, Chancellor Angel Merkel of Germany and President Joachim Gaucke of Germany.
- The book has won three excellence awards from local and international contests which helped support the brand of Studio 5 Designs as a" creator of legacy publications."
