The Cabinet of the Philippines (Filipino: Gabinete ng Pilipinas, usually referred to as
the Cabinet or Filipino: Gabinete) consists of the heads of the largest part of the executive branch of
the national government of the Philippines. Currently, it includes the secretaries of 19 executive
departments and the heads of other several other minor agencies and offices that are subordinate to
thePresident of the Philippines.
The Cabinet secretaries are tasked to advise the President on the different affairs of the state
like agriculture, budget, finance,education, social welfare, national defense, foreign affairs, and the
like.
They are nominated by the President and then presented to the Commission on Appointments, a
body of the Congress of the Philippines that confirms all appointments made by the head of state, for
confirmation or rejection. If the presidential appointees are approved, they are sworn into office,
receive the title "Secretary," and begin to function their duties.
