SANGGUNIANG KABATAAN OF ILOILO CITY

FROM UNNOTICEABLE TO HONORABLE

The Sangguniang Kabataan of Iloilo City, at first they all started as normal individuals, well what the author means is as normal kids, just hanging out with friends, going out to malls and other places, cracking jokes, go to nightclubs and dance their way the whole night.

But with just the term ELECTION, their lives changed alot, once a normal kid asking for allowance from their parents, asking for budget from their friends. Now, they are the ones who earn and they are the ones who are being asked " LIBRE DA B". Also with this term, they are not anymore the followers but leaders of their respective Barangays and Districts.

With just a wink of an eye, those we call teens are known as honorables and display as role models to the youth which they represent.

CONTROVERSY

The SK's were known for their sports and youth activities but it is also the reason why the Government wants to abolish such INDEPENDENT ORGANIZATIONS, saying Education must be prioritized. But not all the Gov't Politicians agree to this manner as they believe, solution is not abolition.

As what the author says " Why burn the whole house with a broken ceiling?, why not fix it?"

SK's were also described as a training ground for youngsters to become corrupt Politicians as what the authors of Abolition Bills say. But other politicians say that the young learns from the older ones, so if abolish the SK because of corruption, why not start with the politicians with higher positions??

PURPOSE

The Sangguniang Kabataan is a training ground for young people to become good leaders, if not, better leaders of our country, so many of our good leaders of today were SK's of the past. With their knowledge on how they lead during their past, they were able to lead the people of today.

WITH JUST A CONCERN

SK's we know are our classmates, friends, or sometimes relatives. So what do we really expect from among them? Great leadership, great dictions, greats appeals? Is it somewhere among the choices which applies to our first impression towards them? Or does it starts with letter L if based on our real language. Does the word "LIBRE" comes through one's mind?

May be with a brief discussion, this would help, can we ask ourselves did the SK's run to enter such fame in which they too can make theirselves popular in a way everyone will ask for their earnings in exchange for friendship and cooperation? or did the SK's run to help their people in their respective barangays and show that they have the will to become such great leaders no matter how the expense is?

With some researches, an earning of an SK is not enough to do such term, from the expenses they make for each programs, and solicitations they give to their people.

There is indeed no perfectionist in this world not even these youth leaders cannot own a tree which bears unlimited money to have friends to understand their situation.

Eyes are windows in which we should look deeper into. Friendship in a way where trust and help even without financial needs has to offer. Friendship in a way is glad to be earned in a normal way and not look into one's differences, but see it as an equality of such.
