Notes on the Relationship between

SK Chairperson-Punong Barangay
The Punong Barangay only supervise youth activities, NOT control:
a. SK is a separate council created to plan and implement activities
concerning youth development.
b. The SK is even granted independence over the operations,
disbursements and encashment of their SK fund, income and
expenditures. SK Funds are deposited directly to the SK.
Implications:
⮚ Punong Barangay cannot and should not control SKs, both its
programs and its funds.
⮚ Great power = Great responsibility. SKs are responsible and
accountable on the usage of their own funds. Time to learn the
how-tos of financial management!

• Youth affairs is a KEY COMPONENT of the BLGU’s Responsibilities

• Youth activities are SUPERVISED, NOT CONTROLLED.

Figure 1.2.6.
Supreme Court’s Ruling of “Supervision vs. Control” (G.R. No. 132988)
"x x x In administrative law, supervision means overseeing or

the power or authority of an officer to see that subordinate
officers perform their duties. If the latter fail or neglect to fulfill
them, the former may take such action or step as prescribed by
law to make them perform their duties.
Control, on the other hand, means the power of an officer to

alter or modify or nullify or set aside what a subordinate officer
ha[s] done in the performance of his duties and to substitute
the judgment of the former for that of the latter."
• Youth activities are SUPERVISED, NOT CONTROLLED, by the Punong Barangay.

• SKs must assert their autonomy over their authority to decide on youth
development interventions in the Barangay, and the use of funds dedicated to it.
