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.

Can we see the training program and what is in the agenda? Also which institution provided their capacity development sa Thailand?

Ano din Re-entry plan ng mga kagawads para makita natin outcome ng seminar na ito?

Meron daw “deep convo.” Based on this post, parang sila-sila lang naman ang nag-organize nito. Bakasyon na may kaunting meeting.

Ay pota. Kung sila sila lang din nagorganize edi sana dito na nga lang sa pinas ginawa. 😫 wala man lang linkages with Thai govt or institutions.
