Former Presidents Joseph “Erap” Estrada and Fidel Ramos have arrived at the Malacañan Palace to attend the inauguration of President-elect Rodrigo Duterte Thursday morning.

Estrada, now Manila mayor, arrived at 9:20 a.m. while Ramos arrived 9:45 a.m. They were among the estimated 500 guests invited to the oath-taking ceremony.

Duterte is scheduled to arrive at 10:30 a.m., more than an hour before he formally assumes office as the Philippines' 16th President.
