MANILA: President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has removed Vice President Sara Duterte from the National Security Council (NSC), further diminishing, if not totally eclipsing, her role in his administration following a bitter rift between the two former allies.

The vice president and former presidents, including her father, were excluded from the NSC in an executive order reorganising the presidential advisory body principally responsible for coordinating and integrating government plans and policies related to national security.
