House Bill No. _______ 
INTRODUCED BY REP. PM VARGAS 
AN ACT 
EXTENDING THE BARANGAY OFFICIAL ELIGIBILTY (BOE) TO THE 
SANGGUNIANG KABATAAN (SK) OFFICIALS 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
The only Barangay Officials who are now eligible to apply for Barangay 
Official Eligibility are the Punong Barangay/ Barangay Captain, regular 
Sangguniang Barangay Members, Sangguniang Kabataan Chairpersons, 
Barangay Treasures and Barangay Secretaries.  
The Barangay Official Eligibility, in lieu of passing the Civil Service 
exam, shall be considered appropriate for appointments to first-level positions 
in the career service, except positions covered by board laws and/or those 
that require other special eligibilities as determined by the Commission, or 
those that require licenses.  
In the current CSC guidelines for BOE, the position of Sangguniang 
Kabataan Kagawad is not included in the list despite the lack of any 
substantial distinctions warranting its non-inclusion. This bill seeks to 
remedy this exclusion and extend the Barangay Official Eligibility to the 
Sangguniang Kabataan Kagawads. 
As it is the State’s responsibility to enable the youth to fulfill their vital 
role in nation-building, this bill hopes to encourage the involvement of the 
youth in public and civic affairs by incentivizing their active participation. 
In view of the foregoing, approval of this bill is urgently sought.
