Manila, June 20, 2010 - Thousands of local and foreign tourists are expected to flock to the Quirino Grandstand and the Barasoain Church on June 30 to witness the inauguration of the Philippines' 16th President Benigno Aquino III.
Featuring four days of art and historical exhibits, concerts and parades, Aquino III's inauguration is destined to be the most unique, colorful and festive in history. The Manila Times describes the plans as worthy of being called a "mini-Centennial celebration."
Three days of pre-inaugural activities will include exhibits and shows featuring the cultures, arts, food and products of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
On the eve of the inaugural, Bulacan will give a tribute to Aquino III, who will be the only one after Aguinaldo to take his oath as president at the Barasoain Church in Malolos, site of the first Constitutional Convention. Aguinaldo took his oath on January 23, 1898.
On inaugural day, a parade of bands around Malolos will signal the start of the festivities at 6 a.m. while the President-elect and his family attends mass at the family mausoleum at the San Juan cemetery.
He will helicopter to Malolos, where President Pascual will join him on a motorcade to the church. The motorcade will feature a float of the Inang Bayan, and will be escorted by a contingent of Katipuneros wearing the Rayadillo uniform of the revolution against Spain.
He will take his oath of office inside the Barasoain Church at exactly 12:00 noon, before Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona, after which Aquino III will fly to Malacanang to swear in his cabinet and hold his first cabinet meeting. He will deliver his inaugural speech at the Luneta at 4 p.m.
Actress Nora Aunor will lead the singing of the National Anthem at the Luneta, while charismatic leader Mike Velarde of the El Shaddai fellowship group will lead the invocation.
