Re: [Sangguniang_Kabataan] New SK Image
Sangguniang Kabataan has different images in different parts of the country because there are still SKs who are responsible to their mandates and try to implement changes in their communities.
I have just observed that one reason why SK becomes ineffective is because a lot of SK Officials specially presidents are not truly motivated to lead but were just elected for political reasons. They won because of the politicians who supported them, oftentimes their parents or relatives, because they have the resources - money and power. For this reason, they cannot really represent the aspirations of the youth but they are always dictated and only serve as political instruments of their supporters.
I mean it is hard to lead when you really don't know your purpose...

Dear ralph,
your observation is a good one, i hope that other groups and within this yahoogroup will soon join us in this dicussion if not in a complete discourse of the youth in governance and the youth in the larger context.
