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.

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.
