It’s the first inauguration to be held outside Luzon since 2004, when former president and Duterte ally Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo took her oath in Cebu province. It’s also going to be the first inauguration of a president or vice president in Davao City.
DAVAO CITY, Philippines – At the Bangkerohan public market, Nanette, a fruit vendor, is busy unloading a crate of mangosteens, which she’ll be selling for P50 a kilo.
Bangkerohan is just a few blocks away from San Pedro Square, where Duterte, the vice president-elect, will be taking her oath of office. While Nanette won’t be attending the event itself – she has fruits to sell and a stall to keep watch over – its significance certainly isn’t lost on her. It’s also going to be the first inauguration of a president or vice president in Davao City – her father, former mayor and outgoing president Rodrigo Duterte, opted to take his oath inside Malacañang. Sara’s inauguration takes place at a stone’s throw away from key landmarks of Davao City – the city hall, where she’s served as mayor for a total of three terms; the legislative building; and the Davao Cathedral.
