The original policy foundation of the Republic of the Philippines' national security agenda
is Commonwealth Act No. 1. The President, all living previous Presidents, the Vice President,
the head of each executive department, and additional members to be named by the
President were required to serve on the Council of National Security, which would advise the
President on all aspects of national defense strategy.
The 1987 Constitution designates the president as commander in chief of the armed
forces and guarantees civilian control of the military. The National Security Council, nominally
the policy-making and advisory body for topics related to national defense, is also headed
by the President.
Former President Corazon Aquino re-formed the council in 1986 with an executive order
that established a National Security Council director and a National Security Council
Secretariat to advise the president on national security affairs. President Gloria Macapagal
Arroyo received key support from her cabinet and Congress in 2002 for the deployment of
US troops in the Philippines as part of the war on terror. During that time, the President
called a meeting of the country's National Security Council in an attempt to sway dissenting
officials, including her vice president, and smooth over tensions in her government over the
subject.
