READ | ‘NO EXCUSES ON TURNOVER’: DILG URGES EARLY INVENTORY PREPARATIONS FOR BARANGAYS, SKs

Months ahead of the 2026 Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE), the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) has directed all barangay and SK officials nationwide to begin early inventory and turnover preparations to ensure seamless governance at the grassroots.

Issued through Memorandum Circular No. 2026-021, the directive reinforces President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s push for accountability across all levels of government and aims to prevent disruptions in basic services during the transition of leadership in November.

“All barangay and SK officials must fully account for properties, financial records, documents, and money accountabilities before the assumption of newly elected officials,” the Department said.

To institutionalize the process, Punong Barangays are instructed to organize Barangay Inventory Teams (BITs), composed of barangay officials and community representatives, to oversee the documentation and turnover of all assets and records. SK Chairpersons are likewise directed to form SK Inventory Teams (SKITs), ensuring youth sector accountability is upheld.

These teams will conduct both initial and final inventories and will work closely with City and Municipal Assessment and Transition Teams to guarantee compliance and provide operational support throughout the transition period.

The directive is anchored on existing laws, including Presidential Decree No. 1445, the Local Government Code of 1991, and the SK Reform Act of 2015, all of which mandate proper management, documentation, and safeguarding of government resources.

The DILG warned that failure to properly turn over government properties and accountabilities may result in administrative and legal liability under existing laws, rules, and regulations.

The Department emphasized that a complete and transparent turnover is critical to ensuring continuity in public service and maintaining trust in local governance.

“Transitions should not interrupt service. This is about making sure every incoming official can continue delivering for their community from day one,” the Department added.

The BSKE is scheduled on the first Monday of November 2026.

The National Youth Commission, together with the Government Procurement Policy Board – Technical Support Office (GPPB-TSO), is rolling out a Training Needs Assessment (TNA) to co-create specialized Procurement Modules designed for and with the Sangguniang Kabataan.

This assessment goes beyond simple compliance, evaluating how Bids and Awards Committees operate and how investment programs transition into actual procurement plans. Your input is essential for creating a specialized procurement manual that is legally sound and responsive to the unique budget cycles and projects of the youth sector.

By co-creating these tools with you, we aim to empower SK leaders with the knowledge and skills needed to implement more effective, transparent and impactful programs for the youth.

Because better procurement leads to better projects, and better outcomes for the Filipino youth. 💡

📣 Share your insights and be part of shaping tools that will strengthen SK governance nationwide.
