Honorable Cristal L. Bagatsing

AN ACT PROVIDING QUALIFICATIONS AND COMPENSATION TO
SANGGUNIANG KABATAAN OFFICIALS FURTHER AMENDING REPUBLIC
ACT 10742, ENTITLED “SANGGUNIANG KABATAAN REFORM ACT OF 2015

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The State recognizes the vital role of the youth in nation-building and thus, promotes
and protects their physical, moral, spiritual, intellectual and social well-being, inculcates in
them patriotism, nationalism and other desirable values, and encourages their involvement in
public and civic affairs.

Republic Act No. 10742 or the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) Reform Act of 2015,
however, resulted to the clamor of SK officials asking for adequate compensation since only
the SK Chairman as ex-officio member of the Sangguniang Barangay have been allowed to

receive compensation.

This bili also seeks to provide the SK ‘Treasurer for additional qualification who must
have an additional background relating to accountancy.

Hence, approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
