CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction
The Sangguniang Kabataan or Youth Council is the governing body of the youth
assembly of every barangay. The Katipunan ng Kabataan is an assembly of youths in every
barangay whose primary objective is to enhance the social, political, economic, cultural,
intellectual, moral, spiritual, and physical development of the youth in the country. The creation
of this body is by virtue of the 1987 Constitution as also elucidated in R. A. 7160 or otherwise
known as the Local Government Code. Further, through these laws the Commission on Election
is hereby authourized to conduct an election held every four years from the assumption of office.
In addition, the Sangguniang Kabataan is the quintessential example of child participation
in local governance and because of its indespensible involvement in societal matters; the
Sangguniang Kabataan was also involved in cooperating and undertaking Peace and Order
Projects in the locality.
It is a testament to the Philippine Government recognition of the potential of children and
youth to contribute to national development. The Philippines has always placed paramount
importance on the significant role of the youth in nation building. In 1870, Philippines National
Hero Jose Rizal , in his message “ to the Filipino youth” called the youth “ the hope of the
2
Fatherland” and exhorted them to break free from the shackles that their hearts and minds so that
they may soar to the heavens and attain their aspiration (Wilson 1998).
However, the Sangguinang Kabataan, which was envisioned as a venue to develop the
next generation of leaders, received criticisms for its alleged flaws and failure to respond to the
needs of the sector it represents.
It is believed that the level of satisfaction on the performance of Sangguniang Kabataan
Officials can be seen in a dedicative systematic and proper implementation of the programs as
the basic services needed by the body politics. In addition, researchers want to find out the level
of the Sangguniang Kabataan officials in rendering public service, as promised during their hot
campaign.
Background of the Study
The Sangguniang Kabataan is the lowest system of governing body concerning for the
youth. It was established so that the youth will have an opportunity to become a leader of our
country and so that they can practice leadership to their subordinates.
It also initiates policies, programs and projects for the development of the youth in their
respected political territories as stated in Chapter II.
The main focus of this study is to determine the youth’s satisfaction on the Sangguniang
Kabataan Officials Participation in the Implementation of Undertaking Development and Peace
and Order Projects in Signal Village Taguig City.
