Introduction
/here is an emerging movement worldwide to give the youth a
direct role in shaping policies and programs. &oung people have
tremendous creativity and energy that can be tapped to promote
development and help ensure that they achieve their fullest potential. /he
hilippines is way ahead of this movement. +t has already institutionali*ed
the angguniang 1abataan 213, a youth governance mechanism created
by law, with its own budget and a national agency as secretariat. hilippine
law has already set the stage for the youth to learn leadership s#ills and
create programs and policies that will benefit the (ilipino people. /he law
also encourages mentors to teach the youth how to spea# and be heard in
the world of adults.
!ith the youth sector comprising roughly a third of the
population, there has never been a better time to invest in young people
than now. /he hilippines has been ma#ing this investment for more than
two decades now from its first forays into youth participation through the
1abataang 4arangay of the 5678s, and up to its current form, now #nown

as the angguniang 1abataan. /he angguniang 1abataan is the
9uintessential example of child participation in local governance. +t is a
testament to the hilippine 'overnment%s recognition of the potential of
children and youth to contribute to national development. /hough it has
been touted as a landmar# institution that promotes the engagement of
the youth in governance, this study reveals a system fraught with deeply-
entrenched problems. /he study underscores the need for greater support
from adults, especially from barangay leaders who serve as role models for
the youth. /he future of good governance rests on the shoulders of the
youth. +t is imperative that young people themselves actively ta#e part in
their own development and the development of their communities. /he
angguniang 1abataan is a venue for young people to reach out and
engage their fellow youth in effecting positive change in society. +n fact,
the study stresses the importance of strengthening the 1atipunan ng
1abataan, or the village youth assembly, which is the mass base of young
people in each barangay from which the 1 is elected. /he 1 is a
challenge to (ilipino youth to step up and sei*e the opportunity to lead and
be heard. 4ut it is an even greater challenge to us adults, to guide and to
listen. +ndeed, these young people are the next generation of the nation%s
leaders, and we, as adults, have a responsibility to ensure that they are
e9uipped with the #nowledge, attitude and s#ills to ta#e on this role. /he
leaders of today should create an enabling environment for positive youth

engagement and empowerment in order to help shape the leaders of
tomorrow.
/he angguniang 1abataan or $ocal &outh "evelopment Council
2$&"C3 is the governing body of the youth assembly of every
barangay. /he 1atipunan ng 1abataan is an assembly of youths in
every barangay whose primary obective is to enhance the social,
political, economic, cultural, intellectual, moral, spiritual, and physical
development of the youth in the country. /he creation of this body is
by virtue of the 56;7 Constitution as also elucidated in R. A. 75

/he hilippines has always placed paramount importance on the
significant role of the youth in nation building. +n 5;78, hilippines
@ational ero Bose Ri*al , in his message to the (ilipino youth
called the youth the hope of the (atherland and exhorted them to
brea# free from the shac#les that their hearts and minds so that they
may soar to the heavens and attain their aspiration 2!ilson 566;3.
owever, the angguniang 1abataan, which was envisioned as
a venue to develop the next generation of leaders, received criticisms
for its alleged flaws and failure to respond to the needs of the sector
it represents.
+t is believed that the level of satisfaction on the performance
of angguniang 1abataan ?fficials can be seen in a dedicative
systematic and proper implementation of the programs as the basic
services needed by the body politics. +n addition, researchers want to
find out the level of the angguniang 1abataan officials in rendering
public service, as promised during their hot campaign.

serving its function. Most 1 leaders have ignored their duties. /he
primary reason is they are always in school, not in the council. And
worst is, he said, the angguniang 1abataan $eaders have committed
corrupt practices by being tempted of the funds provided to them. +f
you notice your son or daughter being always active in school or

/he number one strong points of angguniang 1abataan are
preparing youth leadership and develop them into a high-9uality
leader in the future. /he youth is the hope of the future. Another
point is their participation in the community. Most youth today are
active in community and they need a leader who can guide them.
And most importantly, the lessons being taught in angguniang
1abataan such as value of accountability, responsibility, honesty and
creativity, must be instilled in the minds of these youth leaders.

change into noteworthy members of the community and the country.
4ut the most important thing the government must do is listen to

reports that 1 officials in various barangays have neglected their

promulgates resolution necessary to carry out the obectives of the

country are tree planting, clean-up drives for rivers and la#es, waste
segregation, and the li#e. +nvolvement in these activities has helped
promote environment consciousness among the youth in the

2e.g. greater appreciation for community and service, improved leadership
s#ills3 from their personal experience wor#ing with the 1.

disparity between the youth%s most pressing needs and interests, and the
1%s proects.
P Aside from the low level of children and youth participation in the
1, there is also a low level of understanding and appreciation for
children%s rights and young people%s participation.
P "egree and 9uality of support, supervision, and assistance from
city government officials and organi*ations are extremely important to the
success of the 1. Clear local and city policies on youth participation and
procedures have tremendous effect on the youth. oor awareness and
understanding of legal framewor#s affects elections and the release of
funds, among other things, that can cause 1 councils to function poorly.
+ndividual situations and roles of 1 members, such as school and wor#,
also affect their performance.
/hese findings led to the conclusion that the potentials of the 1 are
not being maximi*ed, resulting in proects and programs largely limited to
sports and infrastructure development, and environmental protection.
/he research also includes case studies that highlight principles of
good practices among youth organi*ations. !hile negative perceptions,
wea#nesses or ambiguities in policies and the ineffectiveness or non-
implementation of these policies weigh down the 1, it still has great
potential to become a true venue for youth participation in governance.
