It was the fourth Philippine presidential inauguration held at the National Museum of Fine Arts, as the venue was previously used for the inauguration of former presidents Manuel L. Quezon in 1935, José P. Laurel in 1943, and Manuel Roxas in 1946 when it was then known as the Legislative Building.
Sara Duterte, who was elected as the 15th vice president of the Philippines, held a separate inauguration on Sunday, June 19, 2022, at the San Pedro Square in Davao City, but assumed the post on June 30. According to Duterte, her inauguration was scheduled earlier so that she could attend Marcos's.
At 64 years, 9 months and 16 days, Marcos was the second oldest to be inaugurated president.
