Robredo’s inauguration was separate from President Duterte – an uncommon move. Usually, the president and vice president are sworn into office at the same event and location, even though they are part of different or even opposing political parties.

The new president took his oath of office at Malacañang Palace’s Rizal Hall, as their camp cited limited space in separately holding his inauguration from Robredo’s.  – Rappler.com
