Vice President-elect Sara Duterte was inaugurated on Sunday, June 19, as the country’s 15th vice president after getting the largest mandate ever bestowed by Filipinos with more than 32 million votes.
Vice President-elect Sara Duterte delivers her inaugural address at San Pedro Square in Davao City on Sunday, June 19.
“She told me that she really didn’t want to be in this position. But at the same time, in her heart, she told me she deeply felt she is called to serve our people,” the archbishop said in his homily. Vice President-elect Sara Duterte takes her oath of office before Supreme Court Justice Ramon Paul Hernando.
But garnering more votes than the presidential candidate was not peculiar as former President Joseph Estrada had more votes than former President Fidel Ramos in 1992, Arroyo had more than Estrada in 1998, and, former Vice President Noli de Castro got more votes than Arroyo in 2004.
