MANILA, Philippines: President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. appointed Undersecretary Hans Leo Cacdac to head the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW), Malacañang said Thursday.

The President signed Cacdac’s appointment on Wednesday, April 25, 2024, a year after he was designated officer-in-charge following the death of former secretary Susan “Toots” Ople in August last year.

Before his ad interim appointment in the Cabinet, Cacdac served as undersecretary of the DMW, executive director V of the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA), executive director V of the Philippine Employment Administration (POEA), and undersecretary of the Department of Labor and Employment (DoLE).

He also served as deputy executive director V of the POEA, executive director IV of the National Conciliation Mediation Board-DoLE, director IV of the Bureau of Labor Relations-DoLE, and Associate Lawyer and Urban Poor Unit Coordinator of the Sentro ng Alternatibong Lingap Panligal in the private sector.
