Victorino F. Balais of the Philippine Trade and General Workers Organization (PTGWO) is the new TUCP President. He was unanimously elected by the delegates to the 8th Regular Convention and 37th Anniversary Celebration of the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP). His term of office will run for the next five years until the next TUCP Convention.
December 14, 2012 launched the renewal of the trade union Center’s commitment to the Filipino workers starting with the selection of the new leadership for the Center. TUCP’s Executive Board is now composed of Balais as President, Gerard Seno of ALU as General Secretary, Esperanza Ocampo of PGEA as Treasurer and Dolores Alegarbes, Temistocles Dejon, Concepcion Dodd, Arnel Dolendo, Edmund Estavillo, Arthur Juego, Gilbert Lorenzo, Michael Mendoza, Gerry Rivera, Cecilio Seno, Jose Suan and June Elizabeth Tanqueng as Members of the Board.
TUCP’s Convention – the highest governing body of the center – is held every five years. The Convention not only elects the leadership of the TUCP but sets the direction of the trade union Center for the next five years.
More than 300 trade union leaders from majority of the affiliate-labor federations of TUCP attended. Among these are PTGWO and the Associated Labor Unions (ALU) – the two biggest labor federations in the country – PGEA, KILUSAN, ATU, AWATU, KKKP, Tesda-Ace, CLASS, PALEA, NUPP, PIILU and PSU.
