The inauguration of Rodrigo Duterte as the 16th president of the Philippines took place at around noon (PHT) on Thursday, June 30, 2016 at the Rizal Ceremonial Hall of the Malacañang Palace in Manila.[1][2] The oath of office was administered by the Associate Justice of the Supreme Court Bienvenido Reyes.[3] Veronica Duterte, Duterte's daughter with Honeylet Avanceña, held the Bible of the president's late mother Soledad.[4] Veronica was joined by her three siblings, namely Sara, Paolo and Sebastian.
It was the fourth Philippine presidential inauguration that was held in Malacañang, the second scheduled since the fourth inauguration of Ferdinand Marcos, held in the midst of the 1986 People Power Revolution.
As requested by Duterte due to a variety of reasons,[1] Leni Robredo, who was elected as the fourteenth vice president, held a separate inauguration at the Quezon City Reception House.[5][6]
The inauguration was organized jointly by the Presidential Transition Cooperation Team of outgoing President Benigno Aquino III and the Transition Team of incoming President Rodrigo Duterte.
