Youth Voices Count, Inc. (YVC) is excited to share the results of our recent Board of Trustees elections.

Out of 19 total votes cast, Vince Liban (16 votes), Kaiser Ho (12 votes), and Czar Real (10 votes) have been elected as the newest members of our Board of Trustees. They will join Jan Gabriel Castañeda and John Michael Ouano, who continue to serve in their current terms. Together, this group brings a wealth of experience, passion, and dedication to ensuring that youth voices are heard and uplifted across the Asia-Pacific region.

As a collective, the Board of Trustees will continue to guide YVC with care and accountability overseeing our legal, financial, and operational responsibilities, while keeping us grounded in our mission and responsive to the communities we serve. With their insight and leadership, we look forward to strengthening our impact, nurturing transparency, and sustaining an inclusive, community-driven organization.

The newly elected Trustees will play an important role in advancing YVC’s mission to amplify the voices of young queer people across Asia and the Pacific. Their leadership and commitment will help us push forward efforts toward equality, equity, and justice.

We warmly congratulate our new Board members and extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated in this election process. Your engagement reflects the shared spirit of leadership, collaboration, and community that continues to move YVC forward.
