The inauguration of Bongbong Marcos as the 17th president of the Philippines is scheduled to take place at around noon (PHT) on Thursday, June 30, 2022 at the National Museum of Fine Arts.[1][2] The chief justice of the Supreme Court will administer the oath of office.[3]

It will be the fourth Philippine presidential inauguration to be held at the National Museum of Fine Arts, as the venue was previously used for the inauguration of former presidents Manuel L. Quezon in 1935, José P. Laurel in 1943, and Manuel Roxas in 1946 when it was then known as the Legislative Building.[1]

Sara Duterte, who was elected as the 15th vice president of the Philippines, held a separate inauguration on Sunday, June 19, 2022 at the San Pedro Square in Davao City but will assume the post on June 30. According to Duterte, her inauguration was scheduled earlier so that she could attend Marcos' ceremony.[4]

Background

The inauguration will mark the end of the presidential transition of Bongbong Marcos, who was elected in the 2022 Philippine presidential election on May 9, 2022. Marcos topped the official count by the Congress of the Philippines with 31,629,783 votes or 58.77% of all votes, a landslide victory.[5] The joint bicameral Congress proclaimed Marcos as the president-elect and Sara Duterte as the vice president-elect on May 25, 2022.[6]

Upon his inauguration, Marcos will be the first majority president since the establishment of the Fifth Republic in 1986. He will also be the second president from Ilocos Norte, after his father, Ferdinand Marcos, and the third child of a former president to hold the post after Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and Benigno Aquino III. Meanwhile, Duterte will be the first majority vice president since the establishment of the Fifth Republic in 1986, the second vice president from Mindanao after Emmanuel Pelaez, and the third woman to hold the post after Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and Leni Robredo, and third vice president who is a child of a president after Salvador Laurel and Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. Together, they are the first presidential ticket to win together since 2004.[7][8]

Marcos' inaugural ceremony

The National Museum of Fine Arts in Manila.
The National Museum of Fine Arts will serve as the venue for Marcos' inauguration.

Marcos' sister Irene Marcos is in-charge of the preparations for the inauguration.[9]

The National Museum of Fine Arts will be the venue of the inauguration.[1][10] The museum will be closed from June 6 to July 4 for the preparations and the inauguration itself.[10][11] The Quirino Grandstand at the Rizal Park where the inauguration of several presidents (including Bongbong's father, Ferdinand Marcos) traditionally held, was earlier considered as the venue along with the museum.[9] However, the grandstand was soon rejected as the adjacent area is currently occupied by the Manila COVID-19 Field Hospital.[10] Fort Santiago was also the other venue considered for its inauguration.[9]

As per tradition, the chief justice of the Supreme Court was selected to administer the oath of Marcos. Alexander Gesmundo is the chief justice since April 5, 2021.[3]

Duterte's inaugural ceremony

Sara Duterte’s oath of office to Associate Justice Ramon Paul Hernando and accompanied by her parents, Elizabeth Zimmerman and President Rodrigo Duterte.

The oath-taking of vice president-elect Sara Duterte was held on June 19, 2022 at the San Pedro Square near the city hall of Davao City.[12] Duterte scheduled her ceremony earlier so she could attend Marcos' inauguration.[4] She would still assume the vice presidency on June 30 as per law.[13]

The event started with a Catholic mass headed by Archbishop Romulo Valles. The oath-taking of Duterte was administered by Justice Ramon Paul Hernando. The ceremony ended with a "Musikahan: Pasasalamat" concert featuring Andrew E, Isay Alvarez, and Robert Seña.[12]
