The new head of the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) assumed command of the disaster response agency on Tuesday.

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.
A member of Philippine Military Academy Class of 1984, he joined the agency in 2017 shortly after his retirement from the military.
The OCD is the primary government agency mandated to implement and administer policies, strategies, and systems to reduce the country’s vulnerabilities and risks to hazards, as well as manage the consequences of disasters.
