ZAMBOANGA CITY – The Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) has scheduled a training from May 17 to 19 for the newly-elected Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) officials in this city.
Moh. Taha Arakama, DILG city director, on Wednesday told the Philippine News Agency that the training, which is mandated under the SK Reform Law, will focus on the salient features of the SK Reform Law and code of ethics for public officials.
Arakama said they will be also taught on how to conduct sessions and write resolutions, as well as planning and budgeting and governance.
“This (training) is done so that they will know their role and so that they can function efficiently, effectively, and economically,” he said.
He said the training will be conducted by the Ateneo de Zamboanga University in partnership with the DILG, local government and the Liga ng mga Barangay.
