ING CERTAIN PROVISIONS IN REPUBLIC ACT NO. 10742
ISE KNOWN AS THE 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 Sangguninag Barangay have been allowed to
receive compensation

This bill also seeks to provide the SK Treasurer for additional qualification who
must have an additional background relating toi accountancy

Hence, approval of this bill is eamestly sought.
