SUBJECT: Letter request to excuse Sangguniang Kabataan Member who under go to attend the
Sangguniang Kabataan Member Oath Taking Ceremony on November 15, 2023

Dear Ma’am/Sir

To symbolize the formal commitment by the newly elected Sangguniang Kabataan Members to
fulfill their duties and responsibilities faithfully, the elected Sangguniang Kabataan Members
are to partake in the Oath Taking Ceremony to be conducted at 8:30am on November 15, 2023 at
the Baybay City Gym. Taking the oath signifies a pledge to serve the community with integrity,
dedication, and diligence thus is crucial that they are present on the said event.

As per Section 16 of Republic Act 10742 or the Sangguniang Kabataan Reform Act of 2015:

“[Sangguniang Kabataan Officials are to be] excused from attending their regular classes, if they
are currently enrolled in any school, while attending then- regular or special Sangguniang
Kabataan meetings, and the Sangguniang Barangay sessions, in case of the Sangguniang
Kabataan chairperson. A certification of attendance shall be issued by the Sangguniang
Kabataan secretary, attested by the Sangguniang Kabataan chairperson and duly noted by the
Punong Barangay and shall be submitted to the concerned faculty member and the dean of the
educational institution as proof of attendance. In the case of the Sangguniang Kabataan
secretary, the Sangguniang Kabataan chairperson shall issue the certification duly noted by the
Punong Barangay. In the case of the Sangguniang Kabataan chairperson, the barangay secretary
shall issue the certification of attendance duly noted by the Punong Barangay. Any person who
shall falsely certify as to the attendance of any Sangguniang Kabataan official shall be criminally
and administratively liable;”

In view of the foregoing, the undersigned kindly requests your good office to excuse the
absence of Joshua L. Subayno, the Sangguniang Kabataan Member of Barangay Bubon, during
your class on November 15, 2023 as the Oath Taking Ceremony fell on the same date as that of
his class under your tutelage.

Warm regards,

RIO ABEGAIL LATORENO
