Carmelita Dimzon is the newly-appointed head of the Overseas Workers and Welfare Administration (OWWA). Dimzon which was once a deputy administrator of the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) replaced former OWWA chief Mariantio Roque. Roque is now the new secretary of Labor Department. The appointment of Dimzon put an end to the rumors that ex-congressman Prospero Pichay will be the one to fill the vacant OWWA post.
