Philippine Council of State
- Philippine Council of State
The Philippine Council of State is an advisory body first established during the American colonial period by Governor-General Francis Burton Harrison. It was restored during the Commonwealth of the Philippines by the administration of Manuel L. Quezon. While the Second World War years led to a drastically-reduced government structure for the Commonwealth government-in-exile, the Council of State was an integral institution in the administration of Jose P. Laurel. Shortly after he assumed office, President Manuel Roxas restored it. It was a feature of administrations during the Third Republic. President Ferdinand Marcos, however, made no appointments to the Council of State and never convened it. It was restored again during the administration of Corazon Aquino and lapsed into disuse though never formally abolished until President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo once more convened it in 2005.
