It was the fourth Philippine presidential inauguration that was held in Malacañang, the second scheduled since the fourth inauguration of Ferdinand Marcos, held in the midst of the 1986 People Power Revolution.
As requested by Duterte due to a variety of reasons, Leni Robredo, who was elected as the fourteenth vice president, held a separate inauguration at the Quezon City Reception House.
The inauguration was organized jointly by the Presidential Transition Cooperation Team of outgoing President Benigno Aquino III and the Transition Team of incoming President Rodrigo Duterte.
