Acidre is currently the Chief of Staff of Rep. Yedda Marie Romualdez and second nominee of Tingog party-list.
“Mr. Acidre has shown his exemplary service to less fortunate people through worthy projects that touched so many lives under Tingog party-list. We hope that his skills will create positive change and further the interests of the Filipino people,” the Romualdezes said.
“We also pray for your continued wisdom and knowledge in the next phase of your service to inspire young people to promote social responsibility and develop their leadership skills,” they added.
Acidre, from JCI Candahug Liberation, was given an overwhelming mandate by JCI chapters all over the country to be the incoming President.
The election was a milestone for the 73-year-old national organization after the process was done online.
Acidre joined JCI Candahug Liberation in 2014. He became President in 2018 and served as National Treasurer in 2020.
Running on a platform of “MORE FOR OTHERS”, Acidre becomes the second National President hailing from JCI Candahug Liberation.

He is likewise the first from his batch of Infinity Presidents to become National President.
