The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Lapu-Lapu City, headed by City Director Dr. Neila N. Aquino, CESO V, in partnership with the Lapu-Lapu City Government thru the City Budget Office and the City Accounting Office, conducted a Coaching and Mentoring on the Comprehensive Barangay Youth Development Plan (CBYDP) and Annual Barangay Youth Investment Program (ABYIP) for all thirty (30) Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) Councils in Lapu-Lapu City on July 21, 2026.
This provision of technical assistance was an offshoot of the findings from the 2026 Seal of Good Local Governance for Barangays (SGLGB) Assessment, which revealed that one of the common concerns among the SKs was the preparation of their plans and financial documents.
During the activity, the participants' CBYDPs and ABYIPs were reviewed and enhanced through technical mentoring. Dr. Aquino discussed the Guidelines on the Appropriation, Release, Planning, and Budgeting Process of SK Funds. Meanwhile, LGOO II Ruel O. Evangelista discussed DILG Memorandum Circular No. 2023-033 and DILG Memorandum Circular No. 2022-032 on the Katipunan ng Kabataan (KK) Profiling and Determination of Quorum. ISA I Shyrell A. Trazona discussed DILG Memorandum Circular No. 2020-136 on the Sangguniang Kabataan Full Disclosure Policy (SKFDP) and the Monitoring of the Local Youth Development Plan (LYDP), CBYDP, and ABYIP. On the financial management aspect, Mr. Sean Quano, CPA, and Ms. Carren Sanchez of the City Accounting Office discussed the accounting forms and documentary requirements relevant to SK operations. Likewise, Ms. May Flor Tongco and Ms. Melbone Montejo of the City Budget Office provided technical guidance on the budgeting process and the preparation of the SK financial plans.
As part of the program, Sangguniang Kabataan officials who actively participated in and supported the Grand Launching of the Amuma sa Barangay Program on June 22, 2026, were presented with Certificates of Appreciation in recognition of their valuable contribution.
The activity also served as an avenue for the SK officials to raise concerns, clarify issues, and seek guidance from the concerned offices. To conclude the activity, LGOO IV Roger C. Baynosa discussed the Ways Forward, highlighting the agreements reached among the SK officials, DILG, the City Budget Office, and the City Accounting Office regarding the revision and submission of their financial plans.
In his closing message, Sangguniang Kabataan Federation President Hon. Orlan Joseph Carungay reminded his fellow SK officials that despite the possibility of an upcoming electoral transition, the most meaningful legacy they can leave behind is their sincere public service and the completion of accurate, compliant, and well-prepared plans and financial documents.
