SA gitna ng napipintong impeachment trial laban kay Vice President Sara Duterte, binalasa ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ang National Security Council (NSC) sa bisa ng Executive Order 81.
Sa kautusan ni Marcos, etsa-pwera na sa NSC si Duterte, gayundin ang amang si former President Rodrigo Duterte at dating Pangulong Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
“At present, the NSC is composed of the President as Chairperson, and 26 officials from various offices of the Executive and Legislative branches as members,” ayon sa EO 81.
Kapansin-pansin naman na hindi sinibak sa NSC si Senador Ronald dela Rosa na higit na kilala bilang kaalyado ng mga Duterte.
Sa hanay ng Gabinete, pasok sa NSC sina Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin, at mga Kalihim ng Department Foreign Affairs, Department of Justice, Department of National Defense, Department of Interior and Local Government, Department of Labor and Employment; Presidential Communication Office, Chief Presidential Legal Counsel; National Security Adviser.
Bukod kay Pangulong Marcos, kabilang din sa mga bumubuo ngayon ng NSC alinsunod sa EO 81 ang mga sumusunod:
- Senate President
- House Speaker
- Senate President Pro-Tempore
- Deputy House Speakers
- Senate Majority Floor Leader
- Senate Minority Floor Leader
Para kay Marcos, napapanahon nang balasahin ang NSC sa hangaring tiyakin ang seguridad at soberanya ng bansa.
“There is a need to further guarantee that the NSC remains a resilient national security institution, capable of adapting to evolving challenges and opportunities both domestically and internationally.”
