The new head of the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) assumed command of the disaster response agency on Tuesday.
Undersecretary Harold Cabreros took his oath as OCD administrator before Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. in a ceremony at Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City.
Cabreros replaced OCD officer-in-charge and concurrent deputy administrator for administration, Assistant Secretary Bernardo Rafaelito Alejandro IV.
Alejandro was named OCD officer-in-charge in June after then-OCD chief Ariel Nepomuceno was appointed Bureau of Customs commissioner.
Teodoro expressed confidence in Cabreros’ leadership and capabilities to steer the country’s comprehensive civil defense and disaster resilience programs, in support of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council.
Cabreros previously served as director of the Rehabilitation and Recovery Management Service of the OCD.
