Clarita Carlos: “I shall continue to help build a Better Philippines’
CLARITA CARLOS – The former National Security Adviser (NSA) has this promise after she announced her resignation from the Cabinet of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
Carlos announced on Saturday that she resigned from her position as the President’s top security adviser.
In a statement, Carlos said she realized that it’s no longer politic for her to continue as the President’s top security adviser and she decided to migrate to another agency where her expertise on foreign, defense, and security policy will be of use.
“I shall continue to help build a Better Philippines,” Carlos promised.
Following her resignation, President Bongbong Marcos has designated former Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Eduardo Año to serve as the President’s new top security adviser.

According to a report, Carlos is reportedly headed to the Congressional Policy and Budget Research Department of the House of Representatives in order to pursue her scholastic endeavors.
An academic and educator, Carlos served as the first female and civilian president of the National Defense College of the Philippines (NDCP) from 1998 to 2001. She was appointed by the President as the Director General of the National Security Council of the Philippines (NSCP) last June 2022
Her resignation came a day after she rejected calls from fellow government officials for the resignation of allegedly “ineffective” personnel of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC).
