MANILA, Philippines — Muntinlupa Councilor Raul Corro has been elected president of the Philippine Councilors League (PCL), according to a statement issued on Wednesday by the Muntinlupa City Public Information Office
Corro’s presidency was endorsed by PCL’s outgoing president, Jose Nelson Tata Sala, former national chairman Alan Zulueta, and former president Luis Chavit Singson, as well as various other groups and regional leagues.
Muntinlupa Mayor Ruffy Biazon congratulated Corro, who he referred to as a “true-blue Muntinlupeño who is a model of public service.”
The Muntinlupa City Council approved a resolution recognizing Corro’s election.
Before his election as president of the PCL, Corro was the chairman of its advocacy committee and its regional chairman for Metro Manila.
Corro, who was then the majority leader of the city council, was the primary mover in strongly condemning the 2021 bid of the Bureau of Corrections to erect a wall at an access road inside the New Bilibid Prison compound.
