President-elect Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III has changed his mind and will now be taking his oath of office at the Quirino Grandstand in Rizal Park on June 30.
Aquino previously hinted at having his inauguration at the Quezon City Memorial Circle but said weather conditions could hinder the ceremony.
He said a street party will be held at the site to celebrate his inauguration.
The President-elect said he intends to hear Mass at his parents’ grave on June 30.
He is also open to riding the same car with outgoing President Arroyo.
Tradition has it that the outgoing president would leave the inauguration site on board a private vehicle once the new president is sworn in.
Aquino will take his oath before Supreme Court Associate Justice Conchita Carpio-Morales. After the ceremony, he will convene his first Cabinet meeting followed by the Vin d’Honneur at Malacañang Palace.
