President Marcos has reappointed Hans Leo Cacdac as the ad interim Secretary of the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW).
Malacañang announced his reappointment on Friday following the adjournment of the 19th Congress’s Second Regular Session, which delayed his confirmation by the Commission on Appointments.
Initially appointed in April, Cacdac has served as DMW officer-in-charge since September 2023, following the passing of Secretary Susan “Toots” Ople.
His extensive experience includes roles in the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA), Philippine Employment Administration (POEA), and Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE).
