This is a complete list of Philippine presidential inaugurations that consists of the 14 heads of state in the history of the Philippines.

The inauguration occurs upon the commencement of a new term of a President of the Philippines. The Constitution of the Philippines mandates that the President make the following oath or affirmation before he or she can enter on the execution of the office of the presidency:


“ I do solemnly swear [or affirm] that I will faithfully and conscientiously fulfill my duties as President [or Vice-President or Acting President] of the Philippines, preserve and defend its Constitution, execute its laws, do justice to every man, and consecrate myself to the service of the Nation. So help me God. ”

[In case of affirmation, last sentence will be omitted]

The swearing-in usually takes place at noon of June 30 at the Quirino Grandstand in Manila, with the Chief Justice of the Philippines administering the oath.
