The safety division is not a technical department but a regulatory department. Much like the PRC (Professional Regulations Commission) for career professionals.
ATCs, like pilots, need to have an ICAO recognized license to operate control towers or man radar sectors. Also annual aviation medical for currency. The Safety Division is the office designated by the Philippine government to regulate this. However, our licensing process is not as much as a pain like yours (pilots) simply because we are already ATO/CAAP "organics" and they cannot get anything from us. We are as pulubi as they are.
CAAP employees do not have the say who becomes the boss of the agency. It is the president's choice, whoever she wants to appoint as leader of CAAP the employees just have to accept that.
