President Duterte is the most humble president that Filipinos have elected. He favors simplicity over extravagance. He abhors extravagance and mindless wasting of public funds.
During his inauguration as the 16th president of the Republic of the Philippines, it was held in Malacanang and not in Quirino Grandstand. It was simple, yet meaningful.
It was also a regular working day, and not a holiday because the president does not want to inconvenience anyone.
The media did not make a fuss during his inaugural as they were prevented to cover inside the Malacanang Palace. He does not want media to cover his deeds.
When it comes to food during his inauguration, President Duterte personally requested for a simple food and beverages at the luncheon. The menu includes monggo guisado, lumpia, pandesal with kesong puti and beef longganisa. Desserts include Davao durian tartlets and Duterte’s favorite maruya.
He also dressed simply during his oath taking unlike former president Noynoy Aquino who turns to Paul Cabral for his suits and barongs. He sought help from Mindanao-based fashion designer Boni Adaza.
Davao-based fashion house Chardin also designed Honeylet Avanceña and Kitty’s outfits. Members of Duterte family also wore outfits made by local designers.
