I. RATIONALE

Cognizant of the vital role of the youth in nation building, Republic Act No.
10742, otherwise known as the “SK Reform Act of 2016”, was signed into law. This
promotes and protects moral, spiritual, and social well-being of the youth and instill
among the youth patriotism, nationalism, and other desirable values.

The SK Reform Act of 2015 encourages the involvement of youth in public and
civic affairs through the establishment of effective, responsive and enabling
mechanisms in forging youth participation in local governance.

Republic Act No. 10742 provides that there shall be in every barangay a
Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) to be composed of a Chairperson and seven (7) members.

May 14, 2018 pursuant to Republic Act No. 10952 under the supervision of the
Commission on Elections. For various reasons, some barangays have incomplete set of
SK officials as there were not enough candidates to complete the entire membership or
elective seats of the SK.

Further, vacancy in the Sangguniang Kabataan may also occur in case an SK


official refuses to assume office, fails to qualify, voluntarily resigns, dies, is permanently
incapacitated, or is removed from office.

RA 10742 provides that to fill up vacancies in the Sangguniang Kabataan, the


SK Chairperson shall call for a special Katipunan ng Kabataan assembly for purposes of
conducting a special election to complete the membership of said sanggunian" Provided,
that, such special assembly is coordinated with the office of the Local Government
Operations Officer and the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) of the city or
municipality where the concerned barangay belongs.
