“While waiting for the proclamation, I already pencilled in June 19 as the inauguration date in Davao City. The Dabawenyos’ patience made me the public servant that I am today, it is only fitting to honor them the opportunity to witness the oathtaking,” Duterte said in a statement.
“It will be conducted earlier than the traditional June 30 event because I also want to attend the oathtaking of President Marcos,” she added.
