Rodrigo Duterte has been sworn in as president of the Philippines, after a landslide election victory in May 2016
Rodrigo Duterte took his oath at a small ceremony at the Malacanang Palace in Manila.
Only state media were permitted to cover the event, but it was streamed
live online.
Leni Robredo is from the same Liberal Party as outgoing President Benigno Aquino III, who oversaw big improvements in economic growth and foreign investment
In his inaugural speech he promised to make sweeping changes to the country's political system.
"I see the erosion of the people's trust in their country's leaders," he said.
"The erosion of faith in our judicial system. The erosion of confidence in the capacity of our public servants to make the people's lives better, safer and healthier."
