For two consecutive years, the SK Federation of General Santos City, led by its President, Hon. John Salvador D. Demdam, was nominated again in the Outstanding SK Council Federation Category of the 4th Philippine Sangguniang Kabataan Awards.
Together with SK GenSan as national finalists are SK Federations from Puerto Princesa City, Tagaytay City, Makati City, Baguio City, Davao City, Poro-Cebu, Alanglang, and the Province of Bulacan-City of San Jose Del Monte.
Last year, SK GenSan bagged the special citation award in the same category alongside its co-nominee, SK Federation of Carmona.
Together with the nominations of SK Calumpang in the barangay category and the Calumpang Youth Parliament in the SK project category, Hon. Demdam also became the first SK official in the 4 year history of the event to be a national finalist in all three categories for two straight years.
The year before, his barangay council was also selected as a national finalist, and two of his initiatives, the Pande-Pande Program and the Youth Cooperative Program, were selected as national finalists. While the Youth Cooperative Program was awarded the title of Outstanding SK Project in the Economic Empowerment category.
The nine national finalists were announced after a three-tier screening process by the committee of the Philippine Sangguniang Kabataan Awards.
They were assessed based on the three pillars that foster good governance: (1) Participation; (2) Transparency and Accountability; and (3) Effectiveness and Efficiency.
Those metrics are a part of the GoodGov PH-developed Seal of Good Youth Governance (SGYG).
SK GenSan, together with the other national finalists, is set to undergo the last stage of selection, which is the Grand Finals Interview.
The 4th Philippine Sangguniang Kabataan Awards is part of the Positive Youth Development Networkโs Youth in Good Governance Fair on June 11โ12, 2023, held in Iloilo City.
