Former Senior Associate Justice Antonio Tirol Carpio has taken on a new role as Chairman of the Centrist Social Democratic Union (CSDU). He is joined by Mr. Mel Velasco Velarde, who brings expertise in business and technology to serve as President.
The CSDU’s new leadership team includes international relations expert Mr. Francis Xavier L. Manglapus as Vice Chairman for International Relations and Atty. Alfredo B. Molo III, Senior Partner and Founder of the MOSVELDTT law firm, who serves as Corporate Secretary.
This diverse group of leaders was formally inducted by General Jose Almonte (Retired), a key figure in Philippine reform history. The new officers pledged to uphold democratic values and prioritize the welfare of the Filipino people in their decision-making process.
The CSDU’s vision is to shape a new generation of leaders who can craft constructive, evidence-based solutions that balance economic growth with social justice and promote honest governance.
