The photos were posted ahead of the presidential inauguration happening Thursday at 12 p.m.

Presidential portraits are traditionally displayed at the Malacañang Palace.

Coching, a renowned artist, also created portraits of past Philippine presidents like Benigno Aquino III, Joseph Estrada, Fidel V. Ramos, and Cory Aquino.

She also previously painted Manila Mayor Isko Moreno as a gift for his 46th birthday.

According to Google Arts and Culture, Lulu also did the portraits of first ladies like Amelita Martinez-Ramos, Trinidad De Leon-Roxas, Pacencia Hidalgo-Laurel, Luz Banzon-Magsaysay, and Imelda Romualdez-Marcos, and many others. These portraits are part of the Presidential Museum and Library collection. —Nika Roque/JCB, GMA News
