In a stunning stroke of brilliance, President Bongbong Marcos has reorganized the National Security Council (NSC), booting the sitting Vice President and all living past Presidents from its fold. 

The move is being hailed as a light bulb moment in governance, not for its wisdom, but for its sheer audacity to reinvent the concept of “teamwork.”

Who could blame him? Imagine the tension of having two Dutertes—Rodrigo, the China-friendly ex-President, and Sara, the current VP—sharing the same room as the Commander-in-Chief. It’s a geopolitical minefield. How do you discuss territorial disputes with China when the room’s Feng Shui is already thrown off by their collective leanings?

This is like asking Joe Biden to sit on Donald Trump’s security council—a recipe for chaos. After all, the VP is the government’s “spare tire,” and as any driver knows, you don’t put your spare on until the original is flat. Why risk redundancy when the stakes are high?
