ATTY. ROCHELLE D. MAHINAY-SERO, EnP, MPACS

Provincial Director
DILG Province of South Cotabato

Dear Atty. Sero,

In the previous years, the Sangguniang Kabataan financial transactions were processed and
managed at the barangay level, but with the enactment of Republic Act No. 10742 otherwise
known as the "Sangguniang Kabataan Refonn Act of 2015," the SK was given financial
independence in handling its operations, collections of receipts and disbursement of SK funds.
As of today, there are only 93 financially independent SK out of 199 in the Province of South
Cotabato which leaves 106 SK still dependent on their barangay.

On the other hand, the Governance Exemplars for Meaningful Service (GEMS) for
Sangguniang Kabataan: The Search for Most Outstanding SK in Region XII enhances the
momentum of the SK in implementing programs, projects, and activities that would contribute
to developing patriotism, nationalism, and other desirable values among the youth. The GEMS
for SK is a driving factor to assess the effectiveness, efficiency, and innovativeness of the SK.

Accordingly, the functionality of the SK in the Province is vital and necessary. Thus, the SK
Provincial Federation in coordination with the Youth Development Office of South Cotabato
will be conducting a Sangguniang Kabataan Financial Training and Governance
Exemplars for Meaningful Service Orientation at Greenleaf Hotel, General Santos City
from February 28, 2022-March 2, 2022; March 3-5, 2022, and March 14-16, 2022. The
Three (3) days activity per batch aims to empower the SK Chairpersons, SK Secretaries, SK
Treasurers, and Budget Monitoring Officers in handling their financial operations and
preparing the documents required for the performance audit. The following table presents the
schedule and list of Municipalities and City for a certain batch:
