Hans Leo Cacdac

Hans Leo J. Cacdac serves as the Secretary of the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) for the Philippines. He is currently newsworthy due to his involvement in addressing the welfare of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs). Recent developments include his statement regarding a new, improved shelter for distressed Filipino domestic workers in Hong Kong, which is awaiting government approval. This facility is described as larger, better, and more comfortable than previous ones. Additionally, Cacdac's department is involved in investigating an incident where an employee from the Migrant Workers Office in Bahrain was reportedly mistreating stranded OFWs. This situation prompted Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to express anger and order an investigation, highlighting the DMW's role in ensuring fair treatment and support for Filipino nationals abroad. Cacdac's actions underscore the department's commitment to protecting and advocating for migrant workers.
