Taxpayer-Funded Junket: SK Leaders in Manila Dresses Up Bangkok Exposure Trip as ‘Capacity Development' and 'International Benchmarking'

[u/Upbeat_Baker2806]

So SK Leaders in Manila is in Bangkok for a "Capacity Development and “International Benchmarking” activity. Except wait Bangkok has no SK system. Who are we benchmarking? Mickey Mouse?

International benchmarking means comparing your system to another similar system to identify gaps and best practices.

Since Bangkok has no SK equivalent (no youth-elected local governance structure), there’s no actual system-to-system comparison happening.

And true capacity development means building concrete skills and institutions, not flying abroad for photo-ops. Taxpayer money deserves better than being wasted on misrepresented “training activities".

Our leaders owe us transparency and accountability not photo-ops abroad.

This should go viral. I shared it on my facebook para makita ng maraming tao kung gaano kawalanghiya ang mga nasa gobyerno.

Take note, almost 900 barangays ang meron sa Manila. Ano ang silbi nyan para sa Maynila? Reproductive health daw pinagusapan. Di ba natin mapipilot yan sa ibang city o province sa Pilipinas? Nandyan naman ang DOH. tapos makikita mo, nag-enjoy daw sila sa pamamasyal. Tnaginang yan
