After Marcos arrived at the venue, the ceremony began with the singing of the national anthem, Lupang Hinirang, by Toni Gonzaga. Following the singing of the national anthem, an interfaith prayer and a full military and civil parade was held.{{Cite web |last=Lalu |first=Gabriel Pabico |date=June 30, 2022 |title=It's official: Bongbong Marcos sworn in as PH's 17th President |url=https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1619425/its-official-bongbong-marcos-sworn-in-as-phs-17th-president |access-date=June 30, 2022 |website=INQUIRER.net |language=en |archive-date=June 30, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220630065230/https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1619425/its-official-bongbong-marcos-sworn-in-as-phs-17th-president |url-status=live }} Senate President Tito Sotto then read the proclamation of the election results. Marcos then began taking his oath of office. He used a Bible that was also used during the first presidential inauguration of his father Ferdinand in 1965.{{cite news|url=https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/topstories/nation/836715/bible-in-bongbong-s-inauguration-same-one-used-by-marcos-sr-in-1965/story/|title=Bible in Bongbong's inauguration same one used by Marcos Sr. in 1965|date=July 1, 2022|accessdate=June 6, 2023|website=GMA News Online|first=Anna Felicia|last=Bajo}} As per tradition, the chief justice of the Supreme Court, Alexander Gesmundo, administered the oath of office. At exactly 12:00 PST (UTC+08), Marcos recited the following, as prescribed by the Constitution:

{{cquote|Ako, si Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos Jr., ay taimtim na nanunumpa na tutuparin ko nang buong katapatan at sigasig ang aking mga tungkulin bilang Pangulo ng Pilipinas, pangangalagaan at ipagtatanggol ang kanyang Konstitusyon, ipatutupad ang mga batas nito, magiging makatarungan sa bawat tao, at itatalaga ang aking sarili sa paglilingkod sa Bansa. Kasihan nawa ako ng Diyos.

}}Upon completing the oath of office, a 21-gun salute was immediately fired, followed by four ruffles and flourishes and the presidential anthem "We Say Mabuhay" and the presidential honors music Marangal na Parangal (Glorious Honors) in honor of the new president. He then afterwards delivered his inaugural address.

In his inaugural address that lasted for about 25 minutes, Marcos enumerated his priorities as the president, such as the economy, environment, infrastructure development, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, giving a preview of what his presidency will look like.{{Cite news |date=June 30, 2022 |title=Marcos nangakong tututukan ang ekonomiya, pandemya, kalikasan |language=Filipino |trans-title=Marcos promises to focus on the economy, pandemic, and environment |work=ABS-CBN News |url=https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/06/30/22/alamin-mga-ipinangako-ni-marcos-sa-kaniyang-inaugural-speech |access-date=July 3, 2022}} He reiterated his promise of unifying leadership, stating that by voting for him, the people rejected the "politics of division." Marcos also asked for the public's help in achieving his vision for the country although he will not base his success on the people's cooperation. He also thanked his predecessor for "the courage of his hard decisions."

Marcos stated that his economic team was forming a "comprehensive, all-inclusive plan" for the economy and also vowed to address food security in his tenure. He also committed to finish the ongoing infrastructure projects of the past administration on time, and pledged to create a more comprehensive infrastructure plan that will be implemented within his administration. Regarding the country’s COVID-19 response, Marcos stated that there were shortcomings that he wanted to fix, recalling his experience after being infected with the disease.{{Cite news |last=Galvez |first=Daphne |date=June 30, 2022 |title='No more secrets': Bongbong Marcos vows to fix COVID-19 response snags |work=INQUIRER.net |url=https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1619611/no-more-secrets-bongbong-marcos-vows-to-fix-covid-19-response-shortcomings |access-date=July 3, 2022}} He also vowed to take steps to address climate change and criticized richer countries who are not as affected by its impacts and are doing little about it. The new president also vowed to reform the educational curriculum under his administration, but clarified that he pertained to the sciences and vocational skills, not history. Marcos concluded his speech by thanking the people, vowing to do his best.
