The Office of Civil Defense (OCD) welcomes the appointment of former Bureau of Customs Deputy Commissioner Ariel Nepomuceno as head of the implementing arm of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council.
In a statement, OCD Public Affairs chief Mark Timbal called the appointment of Nepomuceno a 'homecoming' since the official served as director and executive officer of the agency from 2012 to 2013.
"As a seasoned public servant, Usec. Nepomuceno brings to OCD his years of administrative experience as well as the drive to further push the national resilience agenda to safeguard Filipino communities against the threats of disaster," Timbal said.
Nepomuceno replaces Usec. Raymundo Ferrer, who took the helm of the agency last August.
On Wednesday, December 28, Usec. Cheloy Garafil, officer-in-charge of the Office of the Press Secretary, confirmed the appointment of Nepomuceno as OCD Administrator.
