Presumptive Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio eyes holding her inauguration in Davao City on June 19, weeks earlier than the traditional June 30 schedule.

Duterte-Carpio, who is the outgoing mayor of Davao City, said she would take her oath-taking earlier so she can attend the inauguration of her running mate, presumptive president Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr.

"While waiting for the proclamation, I already penciled on 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.
