Cabactulan, who finished his six-year tenure in UAE, was endorsed by the Philippine Government in July 2008 to be president of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Preparatory Committee. By April this year, the 118 member-countries of NAM endorsed his candidature and in May the 198 countries involved in the treaty elected him president during their third preparatory conference in New York. Popularly known as the father of the Filipino Expatriates Inc, a foundation he helped set up to assist the Filipinos in need of financial, medical and legal support in UAE, Cabactulan urged all Filipinos to do their best to get the FilEx going, calling it as “his legimitate son that should bear fruit for everyone.”
