00:32of the Council as a security threat.

00:41The role of the National Security Council is important as the President's primary advisor
00:45in matters related to national security.

00:54But Malacanang issued the Executive Order 81
00:58where the NSC was reorganized and the Vice President was removed as a member.
01:03In one statement, Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin said
01:06that the EO's goal is to reorganize and make the NSC more effective.
01:10And at this time, the Vice President is not considered fit for the responsibilities of the Council.
01:16But if necessary, the President has the power to add additional members.
01:21The NSC was established in 1950 and based on the investigation of GMI News Research,
01:26this is the first time that the Vice President was removed from the National Security Council.

01:37as a national security issue and an active threat in the life of the President.

01:52Please submit within 24 hours an explanation in writing with legal basis
02:00why the Vice President was not a member of the National Security Council
02:05or why I was not invited to the meeting, whichever is applicable.
02:14President Bongbong Marcos now added to the EO
02:17that a change has been made because the NSC needs to ensure that it remains resilient
02:22and can cope with the emerging threats inside and outside the country.
02:26It is also necessary to ensure that the National Security and Sovereignty
02:31are protected by the NSC members.
02:33Aside from the Vice President, former presidents of the Philippines
02:37were also removed from the EO as members of the NSC.
