The oath of office was administered by Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Philippines César Bengzon. Marcos swore his oath on two closed family Bibles, one owned by his father Mariano and another given by his wife Imelda.[2] One of the Bibles would later be used in the inauguration of his son Ferdinand Jr. in 2022.[3]
