We have set a date, but we have not planned it yet because we do not know the exact date of the proclamation. It could be after June 19. But we have set a date just in case the proclamation will happen, (and that&#x27;s) June 19,&quot; Duterte-Carpio said in Cebuano.She stressed though that her work as vice president will begin only on June 30, as mandated by the Constitution.Historian and columnist Manolo Quezon, however, has reservations about her oathtaking.&quot;Who is giving advice to the &#x27;presumptive vice-president-elect&#x27;? Her term begins on June 30, 2022. She takes her oath before the President-elect.

Succeeding her on June 30 is her younger brother, incumbent city vice mayor Sebastian &quot;Baste&quot; Duterte.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/05/09/22/dutertes-kids-lead-in-davao-city-elections">Duterte&#x27;s children Pulong, Baste lead in Davao City elections #Halalan2022</a></li></ul>When asked if her father already congratulated her, Duterte-Carpio said they have not talked to each other since August 2021.&quot;I&#x27;m sure, very, very soon, magkikita pa rin kami ni Pangulong Duterte,&quot; she said.(I&#x27;m sure, very, very soon, President Duterte and I will meet.)Unofficial tally of votes sourced from the Comelec server showed that Duterte-Carpio got more than 31.56 million votes, based on 98.35 precent of election returns that have been transmitted.Trailing her are Sen. Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan, who got 9.23 million votes, and Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto III, who received 8.18 million votes.Ahead of her ascension to the vice presidency, Duterte-Carpio called on her supporters “to be magnanimous” by reaching out to people they had some rift with over politics.“Nanawagan pud ta sa atoang mga supporters to be magnanimous, nga mauna na ta og duol sa atoang mga nakalalis, nakaaway tungod sa bangi sa pulitika. Kay 31.5 million lang man ta. If we do not get the support of the other groups, dili gihapon mamahimong 100 percent ang atoang nasud. So, we want a 100 percent-strong Philippines,” she said.(I am asking my supporters to be magnanimous, to be the first to approach people they had disagreements or fight with due to politics, because there are only 31.5 million on our side. If we do not get the support of the other groups, we won’t achieve a 100 percent-strong Philippines.)Marcos and Duterte-Carpio’s campaign centered on achieving national unity.—Report from Hernel Tocmo<div>RELATED VIDEO:</div><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YAEYO5rCVQc?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more News on <a href="https://www.iwanttfc.com/#!/browse/Genres/News/tag_id_genres/id_news" target="_blank">iWantTFC</a></div>
