DAVAO CITY\u2014From a target of 500 guests for the inauguration of President-elect Rodrigo Duterte, the number jumped to 627 as of Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

This was bared by incoming Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Martin Andanar, who however said the number would still be trimmed down to 500 by the organizing committee.<\/p>\n

“The committee will decide who will be the guests,” Andanar told reporters in a press conference Wednesday afternoon at the Royal Mandaya Hotel.<\/p>\n

With less than ten days to go to the June 30 inauguration, Andanar said there still be changes.<\/p>\n

He also announced that the organizing committee has decided to approve access for nine national broadcasting companies at the new executive building in Malaca\u00f1ang.<\/p>\n

Other media outfits can get accreditation from the PCOO office.<\/p>\n

Incoming Presidential Spokesperson Ernesto Abella also announced that Facebook Asia – Singapore Chief offered livestream coverage on Facebook in order for Overseas Filipino Workers and other Filipinos abroad can watch.<\/p>\n

Andanar said the committee is still refining other details such as Duterte’s speech, which is currently managed by two persons.<\/p>\n

Andanar also confirmed Duterte is very keen on using the teleprompter in reading his speech. But he noted that Duterte “has a tendency of not following the script and goes extemporaneous on some issues.”<\/p>\n

“The President still has full editorial control of the speech,” Andanar said.<\/p>\n

Andanar said the entire event would still be simple with no expensive foods on the table.<\/p>\n

“The President is a simple man, do not expect any champagne, caviar or blue cheese,” Andanar said.<\/p>\n

Members of the first family are expected to attend the inauguration.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Duterte’s daughter Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio said they would be leaving the city on the 28th to attend the inauguration.<\/p>\n

Sara will be accompanied by his elder brother Paolo, younger brother Sebastian and their mother Elizabeth Zimmerman, their spouses and children.<\/p>\n

After his inauguration, the president will administer the mass oathtaking of the cabinet members then meet the diplomatic corps.<\/p>\n

Duterte is expected to arrive in Malaca\u00f1ang at 10:30 a.m. The inauguration will start 12 noon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
