Her decision runs counter to a decades-old tradition where leaders hold their inaugurations on the day they assume their posts.
The daughter of President Rodrigo Duterte chose to have her inauguration ceremony in the southern city of Davao, her family stronghold where she’s outgoing mayor.
Sara Duterte said that she chose to be sworn in early so that her city can witness the ceremony. She also intends to attend Marcos’s swearing-in rites in Manila at the end of the month. "The spotlight is on her, unlike in a joint inauguration where the highlight is the president,” he said. She is also trying to maintain her connection in the southern Mindanao island, and"form her own niche” by taking her oath there, Beleno added.
