The 2026 president, board of directors, and chapter voices.
Meet the 2026 JCI Boholana Kisses leadership team, including President Ma. Christine O. Torralba, the board of directors, and messages from the chapter network.

PRISTINE Leadership
Leading with Purpose and Integrity
Leadership is not merely about holding a title. It is about creating meaningful impact, inspiring others, and leaving every space better than we found it. As I humbly accept the responsibility of serving as the Incoming President of JCI Boholana Kisses, I am guided by a vision that reflects clarity, excellence, and purposeful service: PRISTINE.
PRISTINE represents the standard of leadership and service we aspire to uphold: pure in intention, refined in action, and transformative in impact. In a world filled with challenges and opportunities, young leaders must remain grounded in values while courageously stepping forward to create change.
JCI Boholana Kisses has always been a community of empowered women dedicated to leadership development, community service, and nation-building. Through the years, our organization has proven that when passionate leaders come together, remarkable things happen. As we begin a new chapter, PRISTINE calls us to elevate our commitment, to serve with integrity, collaborate with purpose, and lead with authenticity.
Under this call to action, we aim to strengthen our programs, empower our members, and deepen our impact in the communities we serve. Every project, every initiative, and every partnership will reflect the essence of PRISTINE leadership: intentional, meaningful, and sustainable.
But PRISTINE is more than a theme; it is the courage to pursue excellence, the discipline to stay true to our values, and the passion to uplift others along the way.
To every member of JCI Boholana Kisses, I invite you to embrace this journey with me. Let us continue to build a chapter that inspires action, cultivates leadership, and transforms lives. Together, let us lead with clarity, serve with purpose, and create a future that is truly PRISTINE.
