The provisions of RA 10742 and its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) clearly state that ten percent (10%) of the barangay's general fund shall be set aside for the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK). This means that any income received by the barangay from sources such as real property tax (RPT) and the National Tax Allotment (NTA) must automatically include a 10% share designated for the SK. Since the barangay receives its income monthly, the transfer of the 10% share to the SK should also be carried out on a monthly or regular basis.
In cases where the SK does not have an established bank account or has not formally requested the transfer of funds, these conditions do not authorize the barangay to utilize or appropriate the 10% share for any other purpose. The allocation remains legally reserved for the SK, regardless of transfer status. Therefore, the barangay is strictly prohibited from accessing, disbursing, or reallocating the 10% share for expenditures outside of the SK's mandate.
It is imperative for Local Government Units (LGUs) and relevant government agencies to diligently remind barangay councils of their obligations under the law. Complaints from SK officials should be addressed promptly, with immediate action such as issuing memos to non-compliant barangay councils.
Gusto natin mag-function ang mga SK at makapaghatid ng positibong pagbabago sa mga komunidad. To achieve this, we must support and maintain an enabling environment for them to serve and fulfill their duties to the youth.
