President Rodrigo Roa Duterte personally led the first family’s attendance at the event as the younger Duterte assumed the country's second-highest office.

President-elect Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr., whose own inauguration is set on June 30, also witnessed the event with his wife lawyer Louise “Liza” Araneta-Marcos.

VP Duterte deviated from usual practice and chose to hold her inauguration 11 days before the start of her six-year term at noon of June 30, saying that this is an opportunity for her to be with the people of Davao and Mindanao, as a whole, in this historic occasion. 

VP Duterte then urged Filipinos to show their love for the country by taking care of their families and communities, despite the seemingly unending challenges that come their way. 

She added that a strong and happy family is crucial in any child's development and that parents are expected to teach their children of integrity, discipline, respect, and compassion for others. 

"Never forget that it is the duty of each Filipino to emphasize that education begins at home," she noted. 

The vice president then rallied Filipinos to unite in realizing their aspirations for the country.
