The Cultural Center of the Philippines welcomes its new president, businesswoman, and philanthropist Kaye Tinga.

She will assume the duties of the presidency on June 1, 2024, allowing her time to fully acclimate to her new role. Tinga will take responsibility for the CCP's operations, working closely with management.

The CCP Board of Trustees approved her presidency following her election during the board meeting on May 15, 2024. She became part of the Board after her appointment from Malacañang Palace in April 2024.

She replaced early childhood educator Michelle Nikki Junia, who acted as president ad interim from September 2023 to March 2024.

As the co-founder and co-chairperson of the Red Charity Gala, Kaye has played a pivotal role in celebrating local fashion and promoting Filipino design talents. This prestigious annual event showcases the works of renowned Filipino designers, including Dennis Lustico, Furne One, Michael Cinco, Cary Santiago, Ezra Santos, Jojie Lloren, Lesley Mobo, Chito Vijandre, Joey Samson, Rajo Laurel, and Ivarluski Aseron. Beyond its fashion focus, the gala also serves as a platform for raising substantial funds for charitable causes, including for the Philippine Red Cross, demonstrating Tinga's commitment to philanthropy.

With a business economics degree from the University of the Philippines-Diliman and an MBA from Fordham University, Kaye Tinga brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to her new role. As the co-founder and managing director of W/17, a home furnishing and accessories brand, she has championed local artisans and promoted cultural skills preservation and economic development. Her brand has collaborated with craftsmen from various regions across the Philippines, including Cebu, Cavite, Pampanga, and Dumaguete, showcasing the rich diversity of Filipino craftsmanship.

Committed to nurturing the next generation of creative talents, Kaye Tinga serves as a board member of MINT College. This business and creative arts college and senior high school provides an innovative learning experience and empowers young people through its pioneering programs such as music business management, multimedia arts, and film and video. Tinga's role on the board underscores her dedication to fostering creativity and innovation in the arts.

Married to former Taguig Mayor and Congressman Freddie Tinga and mother to four children, Tinga balances her professional and philanthropic activities with her family life and interests in design and travel.
