Speaking before former presidents Joseph Ejercito Estrada and Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and the families of former vice presidents at the Makati Shangri-La, Duterte said the vice presidency must move toward “stability and permanence” through reforms such as establishing a permanent OVP building, creating an OVP Museum, and pursuing an OVP Charter that will define the office’s mandate and structure.
Duterte also honored her predecessors, noting that their contributions form the foundation of the modern OVP.
The celebration featured the launch of the OVP 90th Anniversary Coffee Table Book and nationwide pop-up exhibits highlighting the evolution of the vice presidency.
The Vice President closed her remarks by saying the OVP’s nine-decade history is a reminder that institutions must continually adapt.
“This anniversary is both a tribute to our past and a commitment to building an office ready for the challenges ahead,” she said.
