Personal Data/information: Fr. Roderick Salazar, Jr., SVD - USC President
Gifted with wit, wisdom, and a husky voice, USC President Fr. Roderick Salazar, Jr., SVD, is a sought-after speaker at conventions and civil society rallies. As one of the leaders of the academic sector, Fr. Rod is recognized as a strong voice for the cause of education in the country.
