To New SK officials

I was with the campaign for an alternative sangguniang kabataan in 1996 Sk election and we were successful in retaibning the SK against any move to abolished the SK.

There is a renewed revival to ablished the SK. I understand that many of you are incumbent SK elected official and accept it or not you grow and benefit from the incentives brought by the institution.

Rich Nalupta is still very young then (NYC chair) and i guess he will remember that congress lobbying just to maintain the SK in its own place.

I am appealing to you guys to enject new type of leadership in this country. and by being in that position and exposed to many non-ideal things, you can make a difference. May you provide this country a brand of politics. A politics of change, reform and good governance than a transactional politics. I think EDSA 1 dream for this and let us bring that dream into reality.

You country needs you. If you need to defy your elder counter part defy them especially if they are plundering the resources in the community or municipality. SK too have heroes and villains alike.

I know all of you are capable and potent hero.

God Bless the Philippines!
