Sangguniang Kabataan (SK), napakagandang pakinggan sa ating mga tenga, ngunit ano nga ba ang kanilang nirerepresenta sa pamayanan na kanilang pinamumunuan? Mula sa mga titik na bumuo ng mga katagang SK, kabataan ang kanilang pinumumunuan, ika nga ng nakararami kabataan para sa kabataan. Ngunit ako'y nagtataka at napamuni-muni dahil malapit ng matapos ang aking kabataan pero bakit ni isang proyekto na dapat nakatuon para sa aming mga kabataan eh wala akong nakita? Sadya bang ang tinatawag na SK ay kubrahan ng salapi ng mga mapagsamantala sa gobyerno na may bulok na sistema?

Balikan natin ang salitang SK, Sangguniang Kabataan, kabataan ang namumuno para sa mga kabataan, nakakapagtaka hindi ba? Ano ba ang mga kwalipikasyon ng pagging isang punong mamumuno ng SK? Itong aspeto na ito ay sadyang di malinaw sa akin, lahat ba ng kabataan ay pwedeng tumakbo bilang isang punong manununo o kagawad? Handa nga ba ang simpleng kabataan na ito na mamuno o wala rin silang kaalam-alam sa kanilang pinapasok? At ang pinakamalaking tanong na aking iiwanan, para matapos na ang aking pagmumuni-muni eh, handa ba silang hatin ang kanilang oras sa paaralan, sa barkada, at sa pamilya para mapaglingkuran ang mga kabataang kanilang inererepresenta?

Translation:

Sangguniang Kabataan (SK), a nice pleasant statement but what does it represent in the community? Deriving from the word SK, the youth were the ones being represented by them as it was based from the old Filipino cliche, youth are for the youth. However, I'm wondering and more so pondering because my youth is nearing at its dusk but why can't I find a single project that were somehow directed for the youths that this SK represents? Was it true that the so-called SK were just misrepresentations and that the salaries were being used for illegal activities by other local government officials?

Going back to the word SK, Sangguniang Kabataan, the youths are the one governing the youths, not that I'm trying to limit the capabilities of the youth, however, isn't it questionable and at the same time arguable that youths below 18 years of age can run for public office? What were the youths' qualifications to become a chair person, more so a member of the team that governs the so-called youths? Were these running youths for the government office ready for the task they're about to be facing or do they lack the basic knowledge of the position they were about to be embarking? Lastly, can these youths manage to split their time for their different priorities (e.g. school, friends, family, and the government) just to serve the majority of the youth that they should represent?
