I think that in the last couple of years the purity and purpose of the SK has been something that not everyone believed in anymore.

However, it remained important for the youth to feel they have a voice so that they remained interested in their government and how the country was being run.

Over the years though, as what often happens with a once-noble purpose, the Sangguniang Kabataan has been twisted and turned into something that is no longer in unison with its original purpose.

It has become as open to graft and corruption as the government itself, and instead of fostering future good leaders, it only seems to teach the youth about the corruption that exists

in the government at a very early age.

Other than just churning out younger corrupt future politicians, the SK has also been known to be the training ground for political dynasties...

a place where politician families can put their kids to “learn about” politics until they are of age and can take over the family business.

The Sangguniang Kabataan serves a very noble purpose. It was created to serve as a training ground for the country’s future leaders. It was a place where those who wanted to learn about politics...

might enter to enrich their skills and learn what it would take to become a future leader of the nation.
