President Marcos Jr. has appointed new members to the board of trustees of the the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP): Isidro A. Consunji, Jonathan Velasco, Felix “Monino” Duque, lawyer Gizela M. Gonzalez, and Carissa Coscolluela.

With a Master of Law degree from Harvard, Gonzalez has expertise in corporate and intellectual property. A director of several corporations and trustee of various nonprofit organizations, she continues to champion poverty alleviation by addressing basic human needs.
