An industry expert, a business executive, and a university chancellor are the latest additions to the Governing Council (GC), PCARRD’s highest policy-making body.

In separate ceremonies, Forester Leonardo D. Angeles, Mr. Henry Lim Bon Liong, and Dr. Luis Rey I. Velasco, took their oaths of office before DOST Secretary Estrella F. Alabastro, who is also the GC chair.

Angeles is the executive director of the Philippine Wood Producers’ Association and a senior adviser on forestry and wood industry matters.
