EXPLANATORY NOTE

Republic Act No. 10742 or the "Sangguniang Kabataan Reform Act of 2015" provides
that, “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 involyement
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”

However, since the implementation of the law, SK officials have clamored to be given
honoraria and compensation for their services. This will help address the allegations of
corruption and will restore confidence in the Sangguniang Kabataan.

In view of the foregoing, the immediate approval of this measure is eamestly
requested.
