Transition
Duterte's presidential transition began on May 30, 2016 when the Congress of the Philippines proclaimed his
candidacy the winner of the 2016 Philippine presidential election held on May 9, 2016.[2][3][4] Duterte's
transition team was in charge of preparing the new presidential residence, cabinet appointments and cordial
meetings between them and the outgoing administration. At the time the transition team was organized,
Duterte was leading by a significant margin at the unofficial count by the Commission on Elections
(COMELEC) and the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV).[5]

The transition lasted until the day of Duterte's inauguration on June 30, 2016.

Inauguration
The inauguration of Rodrigo Duterte as the sixteenth President of the Philippines took place on June 30, 2016
at the Rizal Ceremonial Hall of the Malacañang Palace in Manila. The oath of office was administered by
Bienvenido L. Reyes, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the Philippines.

It was the fourth Philippine presidential inauguration to be held in Malacañang, the second since the fourth
inauguration of Ferdinand Marcos that was he of the 1986 People Power Revolution.

July
 Shortly after his inauguration, Duterte held his first Cabinet
meeting to lay out his plans for the Cabinet, which included the
establishment of a 24-hour complaint office covering the entire
country and advancing the country's disaster risk reduction
management, lamenting its current status after recalling his
personal encounter with the previous administration's failure to
address the lack of basic needs of the victims of Typhoon Haiyan
(Yolanda) in 2013.[6] He laid out his plan to decongest the Ninoy
Aquino International Airport in Manila, the country's main
Duterte delivers his speech during gateway, by transferring the operations of domestic flights to Clark
the turnover rites of the Armed
International Airport in Angeles, Pampanga and constructing a
Forces of the Philippines at Camp
road network between Angeles and Manila while his government
Aguinaldo
reviews the possibility of constructing a new airport at the Naval
Station Sangley Point in Cavite.[7] He also advised the Civil Aviation
Authority of the Philippines not to provide him and his Cabinet officials with special priority treatment
different from ordinary citizens.[8] Duterte pointed out the healthcare in the Philippines, saying that the
country could learn from the healthcare in Cuba and ordered his Health Secretary, Paulyn Ubial, to travel to
Cuba.[9] Occurring twelve days prior to the announcement of the outcome of the Philippines' arbitration case
against China over the territorial disputes in the South China Sea, Duterte said that he and his Foreign
Secretary, Perfecto Yasay, Jr., will study the implications of the ruling in order to better plan any further steps
taken by the government to address the issue.[10][11][12] Duterte also expressed his willingness to stop the online
gambling industry.[13] After the Cabinet meeting, President Duterte met with representatives from militant
groups to discuss the "People’s Agenda for Change" plan.[14]

briefly met his Vice President Leni Robredo for the first time.[17]

Palace on July 4, 2016.[18] Three days later, Duterte appointed
Robredo to a Cabinet position (as the head of the Housing and
Urban Development Coordinating Council).[19] Duterte earlier said
that he had no plans to appoint Robredo to a Cabinet position due
to his unfamiliarity with her and his friendship with Bongbong
Marcos, Robredo's closest rival in the vice presidential election.[20]
(In relation to this friendship with Marcos, Duterte had earlier
Vice President Leni Robredo pays a
announced on May 23 that he would make good his campaign
courtesy call on President Duterte at
promise to allow the immediate transfer of late dictator Ferdinand
the Malacañang Palace, July 4,

Towards Greater Responsiveness to the Attainment of Development Goals". In the executive order, 12 agencies
under the Office of the President who focused on anti-poverty programs, including Cooperative Development
Authority, Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council, National Anti-Poverty Commission,
National Commission on Indigenous Peoples, National Commission on Muslim Filipinos, National Food
Authority, National Youth Commission, Office of the President-Presidential Action Center, Philippine Coconut
Authority, Presidential Commission on the Urban Poor, Philippine Commission on Women, and Technical
Education and Skills Development Authority, will be placed under the supervision of Cabinet Secretary
Leoncio Evasco, Jr.[22] ndanao]].[23] Duterte said he will end insurgency and war conflicts in the Mindanao,
before the term ends, through peace negotiations between the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation
Front (MILF), the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) and other Moro groups.[24] Duterte noted that the
intervention of foreign countries, including the United States, caused the worsened war situation in the Middle
East countries including Iraq and Libya.[25]

On July 12, 2016, President Duterte has named Finance Undersecretary Gil Beltran as the "Anti-Red Tape
Czar".[26] The following day, Duterte met with House Speaker Feliciano Belmonte, Jr., and her daughter,
Quezon City Vice Mayor Joy Belmonte, the top officials of the Asian Development Bank and Cebu Archbishop
Emeritus Ricardo Cardinal Vidal for a series of courtesy calls and meetings.[27] On July 14, President Duterte
attended the thanksgiving dinner organized by his fellow alumni from the San Beda College of Law at the Club
Filipino, San Juan.[28] President Duterte has offered former President Fidel V. Ramos to become the
Philippines' special envoy to China on the planned bilateral talks between two countries, in connection with
the ongoing South China Sea (West Philippine Sea) dispute.[29]

On July 18, 2016, President Duterte, together with Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) chairman Butch
Ramirez and Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) president Jose Cojuangco Jr., led the send-off ceremonies
for the Philippine delegation in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil at the Rizal Hall of
Malacañang.[30] After the send-off, Duterte met with Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach for a courtesy call to
discuss the possibility of the Philippines hosting next year's Miss Universe.[31] Two days before his first State of
the Nation Address, on July 23, President Duterte signed the Freedom of Information Order that covered all
offices under the executive branch.[32]

On July 25, 2016, President Duterte delivered his first State of the
Nation Address.[33]

Benigno Aquino III, together with Vice President Leni Robredo, Senate President Koko Pimentel, House
Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez, and other cabinet secretaries.[36]

of the privately-owned media outfits, the first since Duterte
