Oath taking[edit]
At the time, Arroyo was the Vice President to President Joseph Estrada, the winner of the 1998 presidential election. Arroyo was one of those people called for the resignation of Estrada. Upon the news that Estrada had left Malacañang Palace and stepped down from office, Arroyo went to EDSA Shrine and took her oath of office as President. Chief Justice Hilario Davide, Jr. administered the oath of office. The Bible which she used was held by Cecilia Paz Abad, the youngest of daughter of then-Batanes Representative Florencio Abad.
