“The Senate has passed a bill moving the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) elections to the last Monday of October 2016 to allow time for restructuring and reforms,” reports ABS-CBNnews.com.
The SK elections was originally scheduled for Feb 21 this year.
Senator Bongbong Marcos, Jr. was quoted as saying, “Elections can wait. Both chambers are working overtime to put reforms in place. Holding the SK elections without these reforms will render all efforts made by legislators useless.”
The report noted: “In line with this, Marcos also filed Senate Bill No. 2401, the Youth Development and Empowerment Act of 2014, which seeks to amend the age of SK officials from 15 to 17 years old to 18 to 24 years old. The bill also provides training for the elected SK members.”
