The '''Cabinet Secretariat''' ({{Langx|fil|Kalihiman ng Gabinete}}), formerly the '''Office of the Cabinet Secretary''' ({{langx|fil|Tanggapan ng Kalihim ng Gabinete}}), was a member agency of the Cabinet of the Philippines which provided support to the president, facilitated the exchange of information, as well as discussed and resolved issues among Cabinet members. The cabinet secretary also acted as a coordinator and integrator of the initiatives of the president.<ref name="EO99">{{cite web |title=Executive Order No. 99, s. 2012 |url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/2012/10/31/executive-order-no-99-s-2012/ |website=Official Gazette of the Republic of the Philippines |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180113073752/https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/2012/10/31/executive-order-no-99-s-2012/ |archive-date=January 13, 2018 |date=October 31, 2012}}</ref> The Cabinet Secretariat was created through ''Executive Order No. 237, s. 1987''.<ref>{{cite web |title=Executive Order No. 237, s. 1987 |url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1987/07/22/executive-order-no-237-s-1987/ |website=Official Gazette of the Republic of the Philippines |access-date=January 31, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210131081825/https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1987/07/22/executive-order-no-237-s-1987/ |archive-date=January 31, 2021 |date=July 22, 1987}}</ref>
==History== The position of Cabinet Secretary traced its origins to the War Cabinet of the Commonwealth government-in-exile, when Col. Manuel Nieto was appointed Secretary to the Cabinet by President Manuel L. Quezon in Asheville, NC.<ref name="GovPH-CabinetSec">{{cite web |title=The Cabinet Secretary |url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/about/gov/exec/bsaiii/cabinet/the-cabinet-secretary/ |website=Official Gazette of the Republic of the Philippines |access-date=January 31, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170929113852/http://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/about/gov/exec/bsaiii/cabinet/the-cabinet-secretary |archive-date=September 29, 2017}}</ref> Under President Carlos P. Garcia, a Cabinet Secretariat was formally established as an attached agency of the Executive Office headed by the Executive Secretary. Under the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos, its responsibilities were transferred to the Office of the Prime Minister.
Following the People Power Revolution, the Cabinet Secretariat was reestablished through ''Executive Order No. 237, s. 1987'' signed by President Corazon Aquino. It was renamed as the Office of the Cabinet Secretary by President Benigno Aquino III on October 31, 2012, through ''Executive Order No. 99''. He reinstated the Office of the Cabinet Secretary as an independent body from the Presidential Management Staff, similar to its original mandate in 1987. The Cabinet Secretary was given cabinet ranking and staff support.<ref name="GovPH-CabinetSec" />
The office underwent a reform in 2018, when President Rodrigo Duterte issued ''Executive Order No. 67'', which transferred eight agencies under it to other government agencies and renamed it back as the Cabinet Secretariat.<ref name=revivecabinetsecretariat>{{cite news |title=Duterte revives Cabinet Secretariat; removes 8 agencies under its supervision |url=https://www.untvweb.com/news/duterte-revives-cabinet-secretariat-removes-8-agencies-under-its-supervision/ |access-date=November 1, 2018 |work=UNTV News and Rescue |date=November 1, 2018}}</ref>
On June 30, 2022, President Bongbong Marcos issued ''Executive Order No. 1'', which abolished the office alongside the Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission. All powers and functions will be transferred to the Presidential Management Staff.<ref name="EO1">{{cite web |title=Executive Order No. 1, s. 2022 |url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/2022/06/30/executive-order-no-1-s-2022/ |website=Official Gazette of the Republic of the Philippines |date=June 30, 2022}}</ref>
