Katipunan ng Kabataan Questionnaire

RATIONALE

The Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) Reform Act of 2015, also known as Republic Act (RA) No. 10742, promotes youth engagement in public and civic affairs by establishing responsive, effective, and enabling mechanisms to institutionalize youth participation in local governance.

Section 5 (b) of the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of Republic Act No. 10742 specifies that the Katipunan ng Kabataan (KK) will function as the highest policy-making body in the barangay, making decisions on issues that impact the youth. Section 4 of the same law states that "KK" refers to those who are at least fifteen (15) but not older than thirty (30) years old and who are duly registered in the Sangguniang Kabataan Secretary's records or the Commission on Election's list. 

Finally, Section 14(a) of the aforementioned IRR specifies that the SK Secretary is responsible for maintaining and updating all KK records, including the list of its qualified and registered members, youth policies, profile, database studies, research, and registry of youth and youth-serving organizations in the barangay, if any, and making sure that these are submitted to the NYC and properly turned over to the next set of SK officials. This responsibility is carried out in coordination with the other SK members
