In the context of DENR, what title is used to refer to the head of that department?

In this context, the head of a national department in the Philippines is called a Secretary. Each department, including the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), is led by the Secretary, who is part of the President’s Cabinet and oversees overall policy and administration. The title Minister is used in some other countries, not in the Philippine system. A Director runs a bureau or unit within the department, not the entire department, and Officer is not the formal title for the head of a department. Therefore, the head of DENR is the Secretary.
