A 10742 also known as

Sk reform law in Municipality of Boac,Marinduque in fiscal year 2018 at the present

Problems and it's background.

The Sangguniang Kabataan is dedicated to a noble cause. It was founded to provide a

learning environment for the country's future leaders. It was a place where those interested in
politics could go to improve their skills and learn what it took to become a potential leader of
the country.
The government understands the importance of youth in nation-building and thus
promotes and protects their physical, moral, spiritual, intellectual, and social well-being, instills
patriotism and other desirable values in them, and encourages their participation in public and
civic affairs. Towards this end, the State shall establish adequate, effective, responsive and
enabling mechanisms and support systems that will ensure the meaningful participation of the
youth in local governance and in nation-building.( R. A. 10742 art.I sec. 2). The youth are
responsible for the future of good governance. Young people must actually engage in their own
growth as well as the development of their communities. The Sangguniang Kabataan is a
platform for young people to reach out to and involve their peers in bringing about meaningful
social change.The SK is a call to action for Filipino youth to rise up and take advantage of the
chance to lead and be heard. To help form tomorrow's leaders and also today's leaders can
build an encouraging atmosphere for meaningful youth involvement and empowerment.This
study aims to define the numerous purposes assigned by the law to the Sangguniang Kabataan
and to assess whether the youth organization is performing as intended.
In the local government, the Sangguniang Kabataan represents the youth. It's a
great example of youth involvement in local government. It allows young people to be
represented and participate in societal affairs. The Constitution mandates that the youth be
involved in national affairs.
After all, numerous claims emerge stressing the ineffectiveness and insignificance of the
Sangguniang Kabataan. With this, the Sangguniang Kabataan's continuous existence is put into
question. That's why the researcher need to identify on what are the challenges encountered of
Sk chairperson in implementing of R. A 10742 also known as the SK Reform law in municipality
of Boac.
Background of the study

All of the youth in Kabataang Barangay are between the ages of 15 and 18. The
Marcos administration raised the age limit to 15 to 21 years old and established the
Pambansang Katipunan ng Kabataang Barangay under the President's Office. Critics argue that
instead of deterring radical youth activity, it exposed them to graft, corruption, and
opportunism.In the 1980s, the Kabataang Barangay lost favor among the youth, who instead
turned to student activism. The League of Filipino Students (LFS) advocated for the
reinstatement of student councils as well as other privileges that had been violated during
Martial Law. Following the EDSA revolution, student activism waned .In February 1987, the
Konsultahang Kabataan was created, and the city of Nyc was proposed. Instead, the Aquino
administration established the Presidential Council for Youth Affairs (PCYA), which has minimal
authority.
The National Youth Commission (NYC) was founded as a national agency in the 1990s.
The Katipunan ng Kabataan and the Sangguniang Kabataan, which serve youth aged 15 to 24,
were established by the Local Government Code of 1991, which replaced the Kabataang
Barangay. To the present, the age bracket has been changed to 15-18 years old.The age range
has been updated once more to 15-17 years old. The Regional Youth Summit in 2001 addressed
issues in Saskatchewan. House Bill 185 proposes that “Youth Sector Representatives” replace
the SK scheme. Participating in local government, according to studies, will help young people
improve their leadership skills and trust. Young people gain influence by participating in the
democratic process.They develop knowledge and gain new skills, grow in responsibility and
accountability, gain trust, and form positive relationships with other youth and adults. The SK,
the KK's governing body, was created with this goal in mind. In their respective local
government bodies, SK officers serve the youth and have the same roles and. privileges as any
other member of the council.They are elected for a three-year term and receive 10% of
barangay funds for youth projects.
Due to several changes to the standard three-year term of SK officials, only three,
rather than four, SK elections have been held since 1992. The SK's specific responsibilities
include: promulgating resolutions required to carry out the barangay's youth objectives;
initiating initiatives to improve the members' social, political, economic, educational, moral,
spiritual, and physical growth.Conduct fundraising activities; collaborate and coordinate with all
youth groups in the barangay for policy formulation and program implementation; and
coordinate with the relevant agency for national youth development initiatives and programs.
Republic Act Number 10742 was signed into law in January 2016, is widely regarded
as a substantive overhaul of the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK). It's also known as the 2015
Sangguniang Kabataan Reform Act.

In the book of Youth and Political Participation in the Philippines: Voices and Themes from a
Democracy Project It appears to be a widespread belief that today's generation of young
people is uninterested in, if not apathetic toward, politics.This study assesses this problem,
drawing on a democracy project in the Philippines that enlisted the help of young university
students as election monitors.The traditional wisdom that the young are politically impassive
and dismissive is supported by a content study of focus group data and student reflection
papers about their subjective perceptions, emotions, insights, and views about their role in the
project and politics in general.Young people are interested in the political world around them
and have critical views of politicians and political candidates. Even as they recognize the
political system's flaws and deficiencies, youths are interested in political participation, not just
in voting, but in other forms of engagement that promote democracy and good governance.The
article states that today's youths are a growing generation of political activists whose talents,
passion, and ambitions can be mobilized and harnessed to improve democratic institutions and
realize their dreams of a "strong society," "good governance," and "good politics."
