Alfredo Coro has been municipal mayor of the Municipality of Del Carmen, a community of 20,000 in the Philippines, since 2010.

Alfredo’s previous experience was in corporate management rather than government, but he believed he could apply his expertise in technology and business development for greater impact as a political leader.

Alfredo considers low family income to be a major contributor to health inequity in rural communities, and he sees opportunities for proper governance, economic and social development, and community leadership to improve health outcomes in Del Carmen and other communities.

During Alfredo’s tenure as mayor, Del Carmen has been recognized by the Philippine government with the Seal of Local Good Governance and as a Top 5 Champion for Health Governance, among other honors.
