The first inauguration of Ferdinand E. Marcos as the tenth president of the Philippines took place on December 30, 1965 at the Quirino Grandstand in Manila.[1] The inauguration marked the beginning of the first four-year term of Ferdinand Marcos as President and second four-year term of Fernando Lopez as Vice President. 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]
