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.

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.
