WATCH | SK National President CJ Dalipe Calls for the Restoration of SK Special Elections

During the Senate committee hearing, SK National President CJ Dalipe urged COMELEC to lift the suspension of SK Special Elections in barangays where vacancies have left councils without the quorum needed to function.

She also called for a simpler, decentralized, accessible, and affordable process to fill these vacancies.

If the SK term is extended, the mechanisms to keep every SK functional must be responsive and workable.

WE STRONGLY CONDEMN THE SHOOTING INCIDENT WITHIN SCHOOL PREMISES.

The Sangguniang Kabataan Federation mourns the devastating loss of two young lives in the recent school (Ateneo de Zamboanga university JHS) shooting. Our thoughts and prayers are with the grieving families and the entire student body during this incredibly difficult time.

We call for a swift, thorough, and impartial investigation and for appropriate action to be taken to ensure accountability and, more importantly, to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

While the Sangguniang Kabataan Federation has actively partnered with the Zamboanga City Police Office to initiate school preparedness and simulation exercises, this tragedy proves we must do more. We are urgently calling on all educational institutions, law enforcement agencies, and other government authorities to not only strengthen physical security but to drastically improve mental health support, conflict resolution, and early intervention systems for our youth.

The safety and best interest of our youth must remain a shared responsibility. As a community, we must also be responsible in sharing information, photos, and videos related to the incident. Let us avoid spreading unverified or sensitive content and rely only on verified sources to prevent further harm to the victims, their families, and the school community.

Our children deserve safe schools, responsible communities, and decisive action.
