THE COMMISSION On Appointments (CA) on Tuesday deferred the confirmation of the appointment of Migrant Workers Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac for lack of time.
At a confirmation hearing, Party-List Rep. Rodante D. Marcoleta called for the suspension of the hearing since he still had questions for the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) chief on legal assistance given to overseas Filipino workers.
The appointment body will also look at allegations that Mr. Cacdac owns dummy recruitment agencies, which he has denied.
Mr. Cacdac told the body his agency is prioritizing reintegration programs for repatriated migrant workers and in giving them financial and psychological aid. — John Victor D. Ordoñez
