Second inauguration of Carlos P. Garcia

The Inauguration of Carlos P. Garcia as the eighth president of the Philippines took place on Monday, December 30, 1957, at the Independence Grandstand in Manila. The inauguration marked the commencement of the second term (and only full four-year term) of Carlos P. Garcia as president and the only four-year term of Diosdado Macapagal as Vice President. The oath of office was administered by Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Philippines Ricardo Paras. Juan Pajo, the then-governor of Bohol, held the Bible which Garcia took oath on, breaking the tradition wherein it is held by presidential spouses.
