	The Philippine Presidency Project
		Presidents being inaugurated at the Quirino Grandstand could thus look out on a historic vista: the monument of the nation hero, on whose death anniversary presidents took their oath of office, and the Filipino flag, commemorating the proclamation of freedom in 1898 and its restoration in 1946.
		It is wrong, totally, and absolutely wrong, and ignorant, to call the president “the President of the Republic of the Philippines.” The constitutionally-mandated, and thus, restricted, title for the chief executive of the country is the “President of the Philippines.” That is the title used in the Constitution and the president’s oath of office.
		Presidents Magsaysay (yes, even he, the Man of the Masses), Macapagal and Marcos, all inaugurated wearing the baro, all wore formal striped trousers at their inaugurations.Today of course, we are completely ignorant of proper protocol.

	Joseph Estrada, President of the Philippines
		President Joseph Estrada assumed the presidency on July 1, 1998 with a promise to improve the lives of the poor Filipinos.

		This prodded Senate President Aquilino Pimentel to resign, the House prosecutors and complainants to walk out, and the viewing public to storm to the historic intersection of EDSA and Ortigas in Mandaluyong City - the start of the 5-day People Power 2 at EDSA, that would force President Joseph Estrada to leave office.
