Meet the new NDRRMC chief

Out with the old and in with the new.

“President Benigno Aquino III has appointed retired Navy flag officer in command Alexander Pama as the new head of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC),” reports GMA News Online.

Defense department spokesman Peter Paul Galvez confirmed in an interview on Sunday, May 11, that Aquino had appointed Pama as the new NDRRMC chief and concurrent head of the Office of Civil Defense.

Pama replaces for NDRRMC chief Eduardo del Rosario, who resigned last month, citing health-related reasons.
