MANILA, Philippines — Migrant Workers Secretary Susan “Toots” Ople on Wednesday announced new appointments to form the department’s “dream team,” which includes former administrators of the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) and the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA).

The department also introduced an official who will lead reintegration efforts as they hope to break the intergenerational cycle of families sending workers abroad for better opportunities.

"This mix of familiar faces and new names reflects our desire for continuity and innovation. The DMW’s ‘dream team’ is now in place, and we vow to serve our overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) faithfully and with utmost professionalism," Ople said in a statement.
