Institutionalizing and Managing a Financially Independent Sangguniang Kabataan: The Roles of SK Chairperson
คำสำคัญ:

Financial management expertise aids Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) Chairpersons in achieving and managing financial independence under Section 20 of Republic Act No. 10742. This study explores the experiences of Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) Chairpersons in Tagum City, Philippines, in achieving and managing financial independence. Through in-depth interviews with eight former SK Chairpersons, the study reveals that effective financial management strengthens institutional inclusivity and resilience. Key challenges faced by SK Chairpersons include insufficient procedural knowledge, inadequate internal resources, political pressure, and lack of youth participation. To overcome these challenges, they employed coping mechanisms such as continuous self-development, attention to detail, and communication initiatives. The study underscores the importance of promoting accountability, transparency, and constituent feedback in SK decision-making. The findings suggest that effective management of financial independence enhances decision-making and youth governance. The study recommends continuous training and resources for SK Chairpersons to improve their procedural knowledge and capabilities. The National Youth Commission and Local Youth Development Offices can play a crucial role in providing support to SK Chairpersons, thereby helping build more resilient and inclusive institutions.
