On a sunny day, the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) candidates are having a
conversation...
SK Chairman candidate: Hello everyone! Since the Barangay election is fast
approaching, we are going to discuss our platform today. We need to be prepared. Anyone who would like to give their suggestion?
SK Kagawad candidate 1: My suggestion is to create a tutorial program for
children. We all know that teachers have too many workloads, and they cannot do tutorial session on their students. Also, most of our ka-barangays cannot afford to pay for it. So, it would be better if we have that kind of program so we can help students who have difficulty in their studies.
SK Kagawad candidate 2: It is a good idea, but who's going to teach them?
SK Kagawad candidate 1: We can ask for volunteers. We can coordinate to
the principal of our Barangay's high school and ask for the top students to be one of our volunteers. Everyone is allowed to be our volunteer. SK Chairman candidate: That is a great idea. We can add that to our platform. Any other ideas?
SK Kagawad candidate 3: How about adding sport to our annual sport
activities?
SK Chairman candidate: What do you mean by that?
SK Kagawad candidate 3: We always do basketball and volleyball. How
about adding badminton as well?
SK Kagawad candidate 4: I agree with that. Either that or we can
include the games we have before. During our barangay fiesta, we can add in our program the games like patintero, tumbang preso, etc.
SK Kagawad candidate 5: I was actually thinking of that. That will
help the kids today to reminisce on the old days.
SK Chaiman candidate: Wow! Every idea that you are providing is
truly amazing. Is there anything else?
SK Kagawad candidate 6: Since the cost of vegetables are
increasing, how about we encourage the youth to plant vegetables? We can provide seeds to them.
SK Kagawad candidate 7: What if they do not have vacant lot to plan
them?
SK Kagawad candidate 2: They can use pots or big plastic bottles to
plant them.
SK Chairman candidate: Yeah, I agree with that. I am proud of each
one of you. I am glad that you joined my team. I am hoping for our success.
SK Kagawad candidate 2: I am also grateful for accepting me in your
team. I just also hope that we all win so we can enforce our platforms.
