MESSAGE
We, at the National Youth Commission is privileged to share with you this training
manual intended for the capacity building of the elected officials of the
Sangguniang Kabataan.
At the outset, the contents are expected to provide a framework for trainers
who will be at the forefront to ensure that the elected SK officials will understand
their roles and responsibilities not only as community leaders but also as change
makers.
Marami nang mga pagbabago at kaganapan sa larangan ng pagsasanay sa

mga kabataan na ang layunin ay makatugon sa kanilang mga
pangangailangan sa pangkasalukuyan at sa hinaharap. Kaya ang training
manual na ito ay masusing binalangkas at ini angkop sa inaasahang magiging
responsibilidad ng mga opisyal ng SK sa kani kanilang lugar.
We are grateful to the dedication of the nameless men and women from the
NYC and among our partner agencies who participated in the development of
this training manual that enshrines the inherent Filipino values of integrity,
nationalism, patriotism and good citizenship, among others.
As we look forward to the success of the SK elections, we also affirm our

commitment to continuously improve the methodologies and to adopt new
techniques for a more engaging and interesting training program as our legacy
to the SK.
Mabuhay ang Sangguniang Kabataan. Mabuhay ang Kabataang Pilipino!

MESSAGE
The history of Sangguniang Kabataan taught us that no opportunities for youth
participation in governance should be taken for granted. Lest we end up losing
what we have been given.
The 2017-2022 Philippine Youth Development Plan framework this out by

emphasized that our nation‘s success towards youth development and
empowerment may only be achieved with the synergy between the youth and
the government.
Our generation of young people is fortunate since we have witnessed how the
Sangguniang Kabataan has been reformed through Republic Act No. 10742.
Since the Sangguniang Kabataan is an integral part of National Youth
Commission‘s overall national youth policy, I consider the approval of the SK
Reform Act as one of the most important victories of the youth sector in this
decade.
Reform was necessary. We cannot blame it solely to the gaps of the old policy.
We have to recognize that in the past, the youth had allowed incompetence,
complacency and corruption to devour what could have been a platform for
genuine youth participation. The necessary reforms are finally in place and the
National Youth Commission is privileged to take the lead to ensure its full
implementation.
However, this sweet victory did not come without a price. This reform costed us
almost four years of non-representation in local government units – both in
policy making and program implementation.
Let us not just repeat the history. Let us reclaim Sangguniang Kabataan. Let it
serve the youth and safeguard our rights, freedoms, and welfare.
Simulan natin muli!

MESSAGE
Our greatest challenge is to become effective catalyst for effective and efficient youth
participation in governance.
With the Sangguniang Kabataan Mandatory Training Modules, the SK officials shall be
properly guided in the practical, effective and efficient performance with regard to
their roles and responsibilities to make them better individuals and leaders of the future.
There is also a critical need to involve young people in decisions that will affect them.
We cannot talk about sustainable development without the active involvement of
youth. When we give young people decent jobs, political weight, negotiating muscle,
and real influence in our world, they will create a better future.
It is our hope that this SK Mandatory Training Modules apprise our future SK officials in
their future endeavours with the 5 Cs of Leadership: Capable, Committed, Connected,
Communicative, and Caring.
It is my desire that the modules are applied in as many barangays in Philippines as

possible and even integrated or adopted in the formal education system.
MELANIO R. SANTELLA, JR., MPA

Chief, Regional Youth Development Division
HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
The conduct of Mandatory Training program for Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) officials
and Local Youth Development Council (LYDC) members is mandated by Republic Act
No. 10742 or the Sangguniang Kabataan Reform Act. Undergoing this training is a
requirement so that the SK officials and LYDC members may be allowed to assume into
office. This is one of the key reforms introduced to the Sangguniang Kabataan to ensure
that the youth will be able to carry out their responsibilities as public officials properly.
It is then important that training managers and facilitators understand the design of the
Mandatory Training program and devote sufficient time and effort to master the
content of this manual.
The Mandatory Training program is designed as a one-day activity. Five topics will be
discussed, and each topic has a corresponding Facilitating Guide in this manual. These
five topics are distributed in three modules, but will be delivered separately across five
sessions.
Module No. Topic

Session 1 Decentralization and Local Governance
Module 1
Session 2 SK History and Salient Features
Session 1 Meetings and Resolutions
Module 2
Session 2 Planning and Budgeting
Module 3 Session 1 Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards
Facilitators are expected to study carefully the corresponding Facilitating Guide to their
assigned topics. Browsing over the PowerPoint slides will not be sufficient since there are
important details in each topic which were no longer placed in the slides. It is important
to note that the main purpose of the PowerPoint slides is to serve as visual aid during the
discussions. The Facilitating Guide and the appropriate chapters in the SK Operations
Manual are still the best references for facilitators if they want to get acquainted with
the content for each session.
The Facilitating Guide has four parts – Facilitator, Objectives, Topic and Coverage, and
Procedures.
The Facilitator section provides descriptions of the expected resource person who will
spearhead the session. They may be government officials or employees, members of
the academe, or private individuals who have the relevant competence to deliver the
topic.
The Objectives section gives an overview of the instructional outcomes of each session.
The facilitator should know the objectives of his/her assigned topic so that s/he will be
able to stir the flow of discussions properly towards the attainment of these objectives.
S/he should make sure that everything that is said and done during the session should
be tied up to the objectives to ensure coherence and relevance.
The Topic and Coverage section specifies the breadth and width of the expected
discussions. Note that one of the primary goals of the Mandatory Training program is to
familiarize the SK officials and LYDC members with the guidelines, processes,
documents, and forms that they will encounter as officials. However, because of time
constraints, it is expected that the sessions will not be able to totally bare out the topic.
This is just okay since deeper discussions will be included in the Continuing Training
program. Meanwhile, facilitators are expected to devote more time in emphasizing the
Key Concepts as provided in this section. Also, facilitators should ensure that all
Materials required for the session are ready and available.
The most important part of the Facilitating Guide is the Procedures section. Facilitators
are expected to devote time and effort in studying this portion. This section is presented
in a table with three columns – Facilitator’s Activity, Participants’ Activity, and
PowerPoint Preview. The first column lists down the expected spiels and actions of the
session facilitator, while the second column shows the expected response from the
participants. The third column shows the appropriate slide that should be on the screen
for each portion of the discussion.
Observe that the procedures are further divided into several parts. The Motivation
provides the priming-up activities while the Presentation gives the transitory steps to
introduce the topic. The Abstraction and Conceptualization portion is the meat of the
session where the necessary discussions and activities to achieve the session objectives
will be performed. This will be followed by Wrapping-up activities to summarize the
lesson and a Q&A portion to address any point of clarification from the participants.
Post-Session Activities include filling-out and collecting feedback forms and some
housekeeping activities.
The purpose of the Procedures section is to ensure that the content and manner of
delivery of the five sessions will be similar across the country. This portion sets the
minimum expectations as to how deep the discussions should be in each topic.
Facilitators may contextualize and localize the content but should not veer away from
that of the Facilitating Guide. Contextualization and localization shall be limited to using
the vernacular, providing local examples, showing relationship of topics to personal
experiences of participants and other techniques of making the topic more relevant to
the participants without sacrificing the content.
Lastly, each session should be completed within sixty (60) minutes. Facilitators should
always be conscious of time. With the long list of activities for the day, every delay or
excess in the delivery time of each session may push the Closing Activities to a later
time. Training managers and facilitators should strive to avoid over-extending to prevent
incurring unexpected logistical costs.
MODULE 1 SESSION 1
Decentralization & Local
Governance
MODULE 1 SESSION 1
Decentralization & Local Governance
I. FACILITATOR
A mature individual who is familiar with the structure of government – national
level to barangay level – and how the units are related to each other; an
individual who will be able to establish rapport with and communicate
effectively with the participants he will be handling
II. OBJECTIVES
At the end of this session, the participant will be able to:
a. explain the implications of decentralization to Sangguniang
Kabataan; and
b. cite the advantages of decentralization in the Philippine situation.
III. TOPIC AND COVERAGE

A. Topic
Decentralization & Local Governance
B. Coverage
1. Governance
2. Decentralization
C. Key Concepts
1. Governance is the exercise of power or authority by political leaders
for the well-being of their country‘s citizens or subjects.
2. Governance refers to the interaction between civil society and

government in determining governmental action. Local governance
is only as effective as the degree to which the citizens of the locale
have the opportunity to and are able to influence local government.
(Robert H. Wilson, School of Public Affairs and Director of the Urban
Issues Program at the University of Texas at Austin).
3. 8 MAJOR CHARACTERISTICS OF GOOD GOVERNANCE

(United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the
Pacific (UNESCAP))
 Participation
 Consensus oriented
 Accountability
 Transparency
 Responsiveness
 Effectiveness and efficiency
 Equity and inclusiveness
 Rule of law
4. Decentralization may be defined as a state, or condition in a

governmental system where there is dispersal of power or authority
from the center.
5. Decentralization as a concept has two features: political and

administrative. While political decentralization involves devolution of
powers, administrative decentralization focuses on deconcentration of
functions.
6. There are two modes of decentralization – Devolution and
Deconcentration.
7. Devolution is essentially the transfer of power for the performance of

certain functions from the national or central authorities to the lower
levels of government. An example is the establishment of local
governments. Devolution is also called the area approach.
8. Deconcentration is essentially the process of delegating functions from

the central government to lower levels (field units). An example is
delegation from national line departments to their regional offices.
Deconcentration is also called the sectoral approach.
9. SK is an example of devolution since there is a transfer of power for

policy-making, planning and execution of programs and budgeting to
the SK officials.
10. SK enables youth participation and representation in various LGU

platforms. The SK Chairperson (at the barangay) and the SK Federated
President (at the city, municipality and province) sits as ex officio
sanggunian member. Also, the SK chair and federation president
represent the youth in special local bodies. SK also liaises with the
youth and coordinates with national government agencies like the
DILG and NYC.
11. SK is empowered to influence the various services and facilities

provided by the LGU at the barangay level, and even at higher levels.

A. Motivation
Greets participants
Show slide:
―Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan.‖ ~ JP Rizal
Ask the following:

Do you believe in this phrase? 1-2 participants shall answer
Do you think the government adheres to this in each question
phrase?
Does the government have mechanisms, programs
or projects which illustrates the phrase? Slide: “Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan.” ~ JP Rizal
Do you think SK is an illustration of this phrase?
Note: Participants should briefly give their answers. As facilitator, you

may interrupt them when they already are taking too long.
By giving the youth a space in governing their
sector and being represented in local governing
bodies, the government actually adheres to the
words of Rizal.
B. Presentation
As SK officials, it is important that you understand
the nature of your position and how you relate to
the whole government structure. Only by
understanding the scope of your powers can you
truly fulfil your functions.
Why is it important that you fulfil your function as SK 1-2 participants shall answer
officials? the question
It is because the government and the Filipino
citizens, specifically the youth sector, had trusted
you to be the ―hope of the motherland.‖
C. Abstraction and Conceptualization

INTRO TO GOVERNANCE
Ask: For you, what is governance? 1-2 participants shall answer

the question
Slide: Governance
Governance is the exercise of power or authority

by political leaders for the well-being of their
country‘s citizens or subjects
Stress that governance is ‗for the well-being of the

citizenry‘.
Slide: Governance - the exercise of power or authority by political

leaders for the well-being of their country’s citizens or subjects
Governance refers to the interaction between civil
society and government in determining
governmental action. Local governance is as
effective as the degree to which the citizens of the
locale have the opportunity to and are able to
influence local government. (Robert H. Wilson,
School of Public Affairs and Director of the Urban
Issues Program at the University of Texas at Austin)
Highlight that governance actually exists only Slide: Local Governance

when the citizens of the locality are truly able to
have the opportunity to and are able to influence
local government.
SK is one of the most direct means for the youth to

influence local government.
8 MAJOR CHARACTERISTICS OF GOOD

GOVERNANCE
The United Nations Economic and Social 1-2 participants shall answer
Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) has the question
identified 8 Major Characteristics of Good
Governance. Slide: Major Characteristics of Good Governance
The first characteristic is Participation.
Participation
What is your understanding of the word
‗participation‘?
Participation by both men and women is a key

cornerstone of good governance. Participation
could be either direct or through legitimate
intermediate institutions or representatives. Slide: Participation
The SK which allows youth participation in

governance is a means to better ensure that the
concerns of the sector are taken into consideration
in decision making.
Consensus-oriented
Ask: What is your understanding of the word 1-2 participants shall answer
‗consensus‘? the question
Good governance requires mediation of the

different interests in society to reach a broad
consensus on what is best for the whole
community, and how this can be achieved.
This is the reason why the voice of the various youth
organizations and of individual youths should be Slide: Consensus-oriented
heard and their interests represented in SK. The
plans and activities of the Sagguniang Kabataan
should be aligned with the Local Development
Plan which is the consensus of the priority programs
of the LGU.
Accountability
What is meant by ‗accountability‘? 1-2 participants shall answer

the question
Accountability is a key requirement of good
governance. It is an obligation or willingness to
accept responsibility or to account for one‘s
actions.
In general an organization or an institution is
accountable to those who will be affected by its
decisions or actions. Thus the SK is accountable to
the youth as well as to the rest of the barangay. Slide: Accountability
Accountability will be difficult to enforce without

transparency and the rule of law.
Transparency
Ask: What is meant by ‗transparency‘? 1-2 participants shall answer

the question
Transparency means that information is freely
available and directly accessible to those who will
be affected by decisions and their enforcement.
This is why SK meetings, plans and activities have to
be well disseminated, documented and reported.
Transparency also means that enough information Slide: Transparency

is provided and that it is provided in easily
understandable forms and media. This is why it is
preferred that SK officials be fluent in a language
or dialect that the SK‘s community members
understand. It also means that decisions taken and
their enforcement are done in a manner that
follows rules and regulations.
Responsiveness
Ask: What is your understanding of the term 1-2 participants shall answer
‗responsiveness‘? the question
Good governance requires that institutions and

processes try to serve all stakeholders within a
reasonable timeframe. This is the reason why the SK
formulates a plan and that schedules are included
in the SK plan.
Slide: Responsiveness
Effectiveness and efficiency
Ask: What do you think is the difference between 1-2 participants shall answer
effectiveness and efficiency? the question
Effectiveness is producing the desired effect or

product while efficiency is producing this desired
effect without wasting resources.
Good governance means that processes and

institutions produce results that meet the needs of Slide: Effectiveness
society – this is effectiveness. Good governance
also means that while being effective, processes
and institutions make the best use of resources at
their disposal – this is efficiency.
The concept of efficiency in the context of good

governance also covers the sustainable use of
natural resources and the protection of the
environment.
Slide: Efficiency
Equity and inclusiveness
Ask: What is your understanding of the term 1-2 participants shall answer
‗inclusiveness‘? the question
The line ―no one should be left behind‖ reflects the

value of equity and inclusiveness.
A society‘s well-being depends on ensuring that all

its members feel that they have a stake in it and do
not feel excluded from the mainstream. This is why
youth groups and individuals are informed through Slide: Equity and inclusiveness
meetings, minutes, and reports of how SK has
represented and attended to their interests and
needs.
Rule of law
Ask: What is meant by ―rule of law‖? 1-2 participants shall answer

the question
Good governance requires fair legal frameworks
that are enforced impartially. SK officials are
expected to serve the welfare of their constituents
with fairness. SK officials are expected to abide by
the code of conduct and ethics of public officials.
Slide: Rule of Law
LOCAL GOVERNANCE IN THE PHILIPPINES
In government, the term authority is often used

interchangeably with power. However, their
meanings differ. While power is defined as "the
ability to influence somebody to do something that
he/she would not have done", authority refers to a
claim of legitimacy, the justification and right to
exercise that power.
Let us look at the present government structure Slide: Local Governance in the Philippines
and check how the youth may exercise
government authority through the Sangguniang
Kabataan.
Activity: WHERE IS SK?
Note: Participants coming from the same
barangay should sit together.
- Ask each barangay group to fill-up an

incomplete organizational chart which illustrates
the hierarchy of national and local government
units. The group should make corrections (if any
are needed) and show where the Sangguniang
Kabataan is situated.
(5 minutes)
Slide: Where is SK? (Blank LGU)
Compare the incomplete organizational chart that

you filled up with the complete organizational
chart projected on the screen.
Who among you were able to complete your

organizational chart perfectly?
Pretty well done!
Slide: Local Government Units in the Philippines

SK And The Sangguniang Barangay
 The SK Chairperson sits as an ex officio

member of the Sangguniang Barangay.
 SK Chairperson serves as the active and

dynamic voice of Katipunan ng Kabataan
inside the Barangay Council.
 He serves as Chairperson of the Committee Slide: Local Governance in the Philippines

on Youth and Sports Development (CYSD) SK and LGU
and is a member of other committees.

SK and the City/Municipality (LGU)
The SK can directly engage the LGUs through

various mechanisms provided by the SK Reform
Act.

 The SK Pederasyon President serves as the
voice of the youth inside the Sanggunian.
The Pederasyon President should: Slide: SK and the City/Municipality (LGU)
- Put forward the adoption of SK
resolutions in the form of ordinances or
resolutions by the LGU concerned.
- Push for the prioritization and utilization of
resources for development plans,
programs, projects, and activities for the
youth.
- Assess and be aware of the extent of
support of the LGUs to youth welfare and
development; to be considered as input
to both LGU and SK planning.

INTRODUCTION TO DECENTRALIZATION
The complete organizational chart that we have 1-2 participants shall answer
completed illustrates the concept of the question
―decentralization.‖
Ask: In your own understanding, what is

decentralization?
Slide: Decentralization (section header)
― . . . decentralization may be defined as a state,

or condition in a governmental system where there
is dispersal of power or authority from the center ‖
Slide: Decentralization: definition from A.B. Brillantes Jr.
There are two features of decentralization – 1-2 participants shall answer

political and administrative. Based on the slide, the question
what do you think are the similarities and Two Features:
differences between the two?  Political decentralization
involves devolution of
powers.
 Administrative
decentralization focuses
on deconcentration of
functions.
1-2 participants shall answer
There are also two modes of decentralization – the question
devolution and deconcentration. Study the slide  Devolution is essentially
again and describe their similarities and the transfer of power for
differences. the performance of
certain functions from the
national or central
authorities to the lower
levels of government. An
example is the Slide: Decentralization features and modes
establishment of local
governments. Devolution
is also called the area
approach.
 Deconcentration is
essentially the process of
delegating functions from
the central government
to lower levels (field
units). An example is
delegation from national
line departments to their
regional offices.
Deconcentration is also
called the sectoral
approach.
Devolution shall mean the transfer of power and
authority from the National Government to LGUs to
enable them to perform specific functions and
responsibilities.
Reflect on the structure of the Local Government
Unit in the Philippines, how is decentralization
exercised in the LGUs?
Slide: Devolution
Slide: Local Government Unit of the Philippines
Since our present government is already observing

decentralization, many duties and responsibilities
are already required to be performed by the
Barangay Council, together with the Sangguniang
Kabataan. Always remember that SK is part of the
barangay government.
Slide: Basic Services and facilities

If you have access to the internet, can you please
look for the Rule V of the Implementing Rules and
Regulations of the Local Government Code. Pay
particular attention to Article 25.
Ask: What are the basic services and facilities that The basic services and

D. Wrapping-up
So, to wrap-up:
1. Governance is the exercise of authority by

political leaders for the well-being of their country‘s
citizens.
2. Decentralization is essential in governance. It
pertains to dispersal of authority from the central
government.
3. SK illustrates devolution, since there is a transfer
of power for policy-making, planning and
execution of programs and budgeting to the SK
officials.

the screen.
This quotation emphasizes why you need to learn

how to plan for your SK activities. Your office is a
public trust. You will have the power to allocate
and disburse public resources. You cannot afford
to fail this public trust and waste public resources. Slide:
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
Introduction to Planning
Let us start our discussion by defining what
planning is. You may refer to your SK Operations
Manual Section III, Planning.
Planning is a process of
Can somebody define planning? preparing for an activity or
path that an organization
wishes to complete. Planning
is also deciding in advance
what is to be done by whom,
and the steps to be taken in
order to attain the objectives
or goals of the organization.
Slide: Planning
To offset uncertainty.
Why is it important for every organization to make
plans? Will you give one reason?
Planning allows us to be definite with what we

want to do. If we have a plan of action, we can
make sure that every member knows what to do.
It also allows us to make decisions faster because
we will already have a document to refer into.
Slide: Why do we plan?

Can anyone give another reason for planning? To focus attention on
objective or rethink objectives
including where we are,
where we should be and
where we want to be.
Our plans should actually show how to realize the

goals and objectives of our organization. Thus, if
we have a clear plan, we can make sure that all
our resources will be used to achieve our goals
and objectives.
Also, if after having implemented the plan for

some time, we observe that we are still very far
from realizing our goals and our resources are
almost gone, or that we have already achieved
our goals and yet we still have so much of our
resources left, then we can go back to our goals
and objectives and re-evaluate them. Should we
bring them up or down? We can only determine
that if we have set our objectives right at the very
beginning.
Who can give another purpose of planning? To gain economic, efficient

and effective operation.
We have mentioned a while back that if we
have a clear plan, we know where to allocate
resources, when and how much to allocate. This
ensures efficiency and effectiveness in terms of
operations.
Who can give another purpose of planning? To maintain control.
When we have a plan, we can minimize

unforeseen and unexpected circumstances
which may affect our operations. Most
importantly, planning ensures that we can
control our spending, provided that we have
limited resources in SK.
Planning PPAs and Budget
In your planning, you will not only decide what

activities to perform but also how much you will
spend for each activity. Always remember that
planning your programs, projects and activities or
PPAs should always be done side-by-side with
planning your budget.
In SK, we call our plan for PPAs for your three-year

term as your Comprehensive Barangay Youth
Development Plan or CBYDP. Meanwhile, we Slide:

year of your term as Annual Barangay Youth
Investment Program or ABYIP.
Can somebody differentiate CBYDP from ABYIP?
Before we discuss how to prepare these 1 participant will answer:

documents, let us first look into the factors which
you should consider in SK planning.
Factors to Consider in SK Planning
In SK Planning, we have to consider various

factors in order for us to create the plan of
activities and projects which is responsive to the
needs and interests of our barangay youth.
Can anyone give the first factor to consider in SK Profile of Katipunan ng

Planning? Kabataan Members Slide: Factors to consider in SK Planning
So the first factor to consider is the Profile of

Katipunan ng Kabataan Members
We have to check first the profile of our

constituents. We have to assess the
characteristics of the youth in our barangay
through consultation dialogues and based on
records and documents. If we know the actual
situation of our youth, then we can make Slide: Profile of Katipunan ng Kabataan Members
appropriate projects and programs to address
their needs.
Projected on the screen are just some of the

important characteristics of our constituents that
we have to consider when we plan.
Can you give another factor to consider in SK Needs and Concerns of KK

Planning?
The second factor to consider in SK Planning are
the Needs and Concerns of KK
Here, we also have to know and assess the needs

of the youth in our barangay based on
discussions with KK members relative to the 9-
Centers for Youth Participation that will be
discussed later.
We have to ask them what things need to Slide: Needs and concerns of KK
improve in the barangay and what services do
they need. Always remember that the youth will
have a different set of needs and interests
compared to other age groups. There are also
specific needs of certain youth groups that are
unique to them and other youth groups might not
consider as a need, so it is important to that as SK
Officials, you will consult with your constituents.
This is also your chance to ask about their

interests.
For example, if there are more KK members

interested in learning how to properly operate
computer hardware and software over those
interested with athletic activities, then your SK
should prioritize conducting computer workshops
over basketball leagues.
What would be the third factor to consider in SK The third factor would be the
Planning? PYDP and LYDP.
The third factor to consider in SK is the PYDP and PYDP stands for Philippine
LYDP. So what do PYDP and LYDP stand for? Youth Development Plan,
while LYDP is Local Youth
Development Plan.
So what is the Philippine Youth Development The Philippine Youth

Plan? Development Plan (PYDP) is
the national medium-term Slide: PYDP and LYDP
plan for the Filipino youth
crafted by the National Youth
Commission and other youth
stakeholders to address issues
and concerns raised by
representatives of youth and
youth serving organizations.
The PYDP 2017-2022 has nine centers for youth The nine centers of
participation, what are they? participation in PYDP are
health, education, economic
empowerment, social
inclusion and equity, peace
building and security,
governance, active
citizenship, environment and
global mobility.
Slide: Nine Centers for Youth Participation
In each of the centers of participation, there are
different concerns that have to be addressed
1. Health - Healthy living (exercise, nutrition,

medical and dental attention); sexual,
reproductive, and psychosocial health; risk-
taking
2. Education - Universal enrolment;
educational efficiency; quality and
performance
3. Economic empowerment - Labor force
participation; vulnerable employment;
entrepreneurial activities; employment
enrichment
4. Social inclusion and equity - Youth with
specific needs; youth with disability;
indigenous youth; violence against women;
gendered job discrimination; LGBTQ+; male
enrolment and enrolment attrition
5. Peace-building and security - Peace and Slide: Nine Centers for Youth Participation
order; the peace process; youth in conflict
with the law; drug dependent youth
6. Governance - Sangguniang Kabataan;
local and national elections; government
and the bureaucracy
7. Active citizenship - Accreditation,
awareness, and assistance; culture and the
arts; volunteerism
8. Environment - Environmental activities and
practices
9. Global Mobility - Cross-border exchanges
and activities; youth trafficking
Now we know what the PYDP is, how about the The Local Youth
LYDP? How does the LYDP relate to PYDP? Development Plan (LYDP) is
the local version of PYDP
which will be crafted by the
SK Federation and the LYDC.
SK will base the barangay
plans on the LYDP.
Slide: LYDP
What would be the last factor to consider in SK Available Funds and

Planning? Resources
How much is the budget is allocated for SK? 10% of the general budget of
the barangay budget is
allocated for SK. Slide:
10% of the general budget of the barangay budget is
allocated for SK.
The SK is allotted 10% of the barangay budget.
You can allocate that 10% to your various
development programs as reflected in your
Comprehensive Barangay Youth Development
Plan (CBYDP) and Annual Barangay Youth
Investment Program (ABYIP). Because of a limited
budget, we have to allocate it efficiently and use
these funds for the best possible projects we
could have. The plan should be both beneficial
and cost-efficient. Slide: Available Funds and Resources
If the budget is not sufficient and you want to do We can raise funds by
other activities, what can you possibly do? conducting income-
generating activities.
Slide: If the budget is not sufficient and you want to do other

activities, you can solicit, receive donations or conduct income-
generating activities.
As far as you know, what is a budget? The budget shows the
amount allocated for
carrying out identified
activities.
Slide: Budget
When we make our budget, we consider three
Expense Classifications which are the following:
• Personnel Services (PS) – used for salaries
and personnel benefits
• Maintenance and Other Operating
Expenses (MOOE) – used for operational
expenses like supplies and materials, rental
of offices, trainings and seminars and other
operating expenses
• Capital Outlay – equipment, investment Slide: expense classification in budgeting
outlay, livestock and crops outlay, building
and structure outlay (large allocations for
purchase of costly items or obligations for
amortization)
Always remember that there are two parts of

annual budget, the Income Portion and the
Expenditure Portion.
• In the Income Portion you have to identify
the beginning balances which are the
unappropriated and/or unexpended
amounts of revenues and receipts of prior
calendar years carried forward to the
budget year, and estimates of income as
certified by the Barangay Treasurer (BT). Slide: Two parts of Annual Budget
• While in the Expenditure Portion you have
to determine the estimated expenditures
which are the total appropriations
covering Current Operating Expenditures
and Capital Outlays.
Documenting your Plans: CBYDP and ABYIP
In the process of SK Planning, you will come up

with two important documents which are aligned
with the PYDP and LYDP which are the CBYDP
and ABYIP.
What is a Comprehensive Barangay Youth CBYDP is the three-year

Development Plan? comprehensive youth
development plan of the
barangay that is formulated
by the Sangguniang
Kabataan (SK) in consultation
and with concurrence of the
Katipunan ng Kabataan (KK)
and anchored on the
Philippine Youth Slide: CBYDP
Development Plan (PYDP)
and other Local Youth
Development Plans (LYDP) at
the provincial, city and
municipal levels.
How about the Annual Barangay Youth ABYIP is an annual program

Investment Program (ABYIP)? based on the Comprehensive
Barangay Youth
Development Plan. It contains
the program, projects, and
activities or PPAs and
corresponding cost of each,
as well as a cash flow chart to Slide: ABYIP
show the approximate time
when the release of
corresponding funds will be
needed.
In short, your CBYDP is your ―master plan‖ for your

three-year term. This is aligned with the national
and local youth development plan. Then, you
divide your CBYDP into three ABYIP so that the
programs you have planned will have
corresponding funds each year of your term.
Notice that only ten percent (10%) of the general

fund of the barangay will be set aside for the SK.
This budget will be reflected in the ABYIP.
For you to see the clearer picture of the steps of

creating the SK plan, please look at the diagram
on the screen.
Listen carefully as we discuss in detail how to

come up with the SK plans.
KK Consultations
The whole planning activity should always start It is important to consult the
with consultations with the members of the KK members because the

discussion of the various issues affecting KK
members.
The output of your discussions should guide you
later on in planning for your programs, projects
and activities.
Drafting of LYDP by SK Pederasyon

After your SK Chairpersons elect your SK
Pederasyon officers, they will also meet for the
drafting of the Local Youth Development Plan.
In doing so, you will have to first study the

Philippine Youth Development Plan which was
prepared by the National Youth Commission. The
latest version is the PYDP 2017-2022.
Since you would have already conducted

consultations with your KK members, consider
your findings during the discussions as you draft
your LYDPs. Remember that your task in the SK
Pederasyon is to localize and contextualize the
PYDP. The results of your KK consultation can
guide you in accomplishing this task.
Finalizing LYDP by LYDC

After your SK Pederasyon has drafted the LYDP, LYDC stands for Local Youth
they will have to present it to the LYDC for Development Council which
finalization. What does LYDC stand for and what is a body composed of 8-19
is it? representatives of youth and
youth-serving organizations
The creation of LYDCs and LYDOs is one of the and the President and Vice-
key reforms in RA 10742. By having LYDOs and President of the SK
LYDCs, the Sangguniang Kabataan is subject to Pederasyon. The LYDC shall

system. This also maximizes youth participation in execution of projects and
the SK system so that SK will not be exclusive to programs of the SK, and of
the elected officials. the Pederasyon at all levels.
It is one of the duties of the LYDCs to finalize the

three (3) year LYDP that is anchored on the PYDP
and on the development plans of the local
government units.
Approving LYDP by LCE

After securing the concurrence of the LYDC, the
SK Pederasyon shall then submit the LYDP to the
Local Chief Executive.
Who is the Local Chief Executive? In a city or municipality, the

LCE is the mayor. In a
province, the LCE is the
governor.
The mayor has to approve the municipal or city

youth development plan; while the governor has
to approve the provincial youth development
plan. Upon approval, the LYDP should be
included by the mayor or governor in the Local Slide:
Development Plan and subsequently endorse to Who is LCE?
the Sanggunian for approval.
After this step, the LYDP becomes final. Copies of

the LYDP should be distributed to all SKs. This will
serve as your guide in crafting your plans at the
barangay level.
Crafting of CBYDP and ABYIP by SK
Based on the LYDP, you, as SK officials, will draft
your Comprehensive Barangay Youth
Development Plan and your Annual Barangay
Youth Investment Program.
Again, your CBYDP is a three-year plan which

should be aligned to the LYDP. Meanwhile, your
ABYIP shows how you fulfill your CBYDP, and
provides information on the allocation of your SK
funds.
Presenting CBYDP and ABYIP to KK

After you have drafted the CBYDP and ABYIP,
you have to present it to the Katipunan ng
Kabataan. During this presentation, they may
give comments and recommendations. Always
consider these comments and recommendations
as you finalize your plans since, at the end of the
day, these plans are made for the welfare of your
KK members.
Implementation and monitoring of SK Plans. After

all the preparations, next will be implementation
of the programs, projects and activities you have
identified in your ABYIP. It is also important to
monitor your progress.
Reviewing the Forms
So that you will be able to prepare your LYDP,

CBYDP and ABYIP, let us go through the forms
that you will be using.
What are the information you need to fill up in The information that we will

Observe that in the CBYDP, you will also identify

the objective/area/agenda coming from your
LYDP. This will ensure alignment of your CBYDP to
the LYDP and PYDP. This also means that you
cannot come up with a CBYDP without finalizing
your LYDP.
Lastly, you will have to create an ABYIP which The information that we will

Take note that the PPAs in your ABYIP should be

based on Column 5 – Activity of your CBYDP. Slide: Form for the ABYIP
Also, the schedule or month column in your
ABYIP should correspond with Column 7 –
Schedule in your CBYDP. If you do this, and
religiously implement your ABYIP as planned, then
you will also be able to fully implement your
CBYDP.
The forms provide descriptions of what you have

to enter into each column. Please take time to
study the forms and read all the instructions
before you fill them out. Your LYDO and Local

six duties of a public official or employee? and employees are to act
promptly, attend to anyone
who wants to avail of his/her
services, submit reports on
time, process documents and
papers promptly, be
accountable, and be
transparent.
Slide:
Duties of Public Officials and Employees
1. Act promptly
What does it mean to “act promptly”? How can 1 participant will answer. 2. Attend to anyone who wants to avail of his/her services
we demonstrate this? Can you give an illustrative 3. Submit reports on time
example which you may encounter from your day 4. Process documents and papers promptly
to day. 5. Be accountable
6. Be transparent
All applications and/or requests — from the date

the request or application is received — shall be
acted upon by the assigned officer or employee
within the period stated in the Citizen's Charter
which shall not be longer than five (5) working
days in the case of simple transactions and ten
(10) working days in the case of complex
transactions.
What is the difference between a simple Simple Transactions – refer to

transaction and a complex transaction? What requests or applications
does your SK OM Glossary say? submitted by clients and
deemed by a receiving
government office or agency
as only requiring ministerial
action or as involving only
inconsequential issues for

employee of the said
government office or agency.
On the other hand, complex
Transactions – refer to requests
or applications — submitted
by clients and deemed
complex by a receiving
government office or agency
— which transactions must be
handled with discretion in their
resolution.
The second one is to submit annual performance

reports. All heads or other responsible officers of
offices and agencies of the government –owned
or controlled corporations shall, within forty-five
(45) working days from the end of the year, render
a performance report of the agency or office or
corporation concerned. Such reports shall be
open and available to the public within regular
office hours.
What is the third one? Process documents and

papers expeditiously.
When we say we need to process documents and
papers expeditiously, all official papers and
documents must be processed and competed
within reasonable time from the preparation
thereof.
Next is for us to act immediately on the public's 1 participant will share his/her

employees must attend to anyone who wants to
avail himself of the services of their offices and
must, at all times, act promptly and expeditiously.
We should not discriminate or choose only the
people we want to serve. Can someone give an
illustrative example?
Lastly we need to make documents accessible to 1 participant will answer.

the public. All public documents must be made
accessible to, and readily available for inspection
by, the public within reasonable working hours.
Why do you think this is important?
C. Prohibited Acts and Transactions
RA 6713 also identifies the prohibited acts for

public officials and employees. There are four
main acts or transactions with more specific
prohibition under each one of them. Let us go
through them one by one.
What is the first prohibition?
Public officials and employees shall not, directly The first prohibition is having Slide: Prohibited Acts and Transactions
or indirectly, have any financial or material financial or material interests.
interest in any transaction requiring the approval
of their office.
You may relate this to scenario number one in our

activity. Remember that indirect financial or
material interest is prohibited and considered
unlawful.
Slide: Prohibited Acts and Transactions
What is the second prohibition? The second prohibition is  Financial and material interests
having outside employment  Outside employment and other activities related thereto.
and other activities related  Disclosure and/or misuse of confidential information.
During your incumbency, you should not: thereto.  Solicitation or acceptance of gifts.
a) own, control, manage or accept employment
in any private enterprise regulated, supervised or
licensed by your office unless expressly allowed by
law;

profession unless authorized by the Constitution or
law, provided that such practice will not conflict
or tend to conflict with their official functions;
c) recommend any person to any position to any
private enterprise which has a regular or pending
official transaction with your office.
The important question we have to ask is, are you Yes, we are allowed by law to

confidential or classified information officially
known to them by reason of their office and not
made available to the public either:
a. To further their private interests, or give

And lastly, Solicitation of gifts. Public officials and

employees shall not solicit or accept, directly or
indirectly, any gift, gratuity, favor, entertainment,
loan or anything of monetary value from any
person in the course of their official duties or in
connection with any operation being regulated
by, or any transaction which may be affected by
the function of their office.
