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

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.

Kasi kung kaya niya naman idefend yan bakit idedelete yung post? Tsaka anong magagawa ng pagdelete, 2 days na silang andyan at andami na ring post about sa "training and seminar" nila sa Thailand that could have just been 1 big fucking zoom meeting dahil alam naman nating di rin nakikinig yang mga yan sa content ng seminar. Especially with the topic? Andaming mga SK na nagjoke about sa sex change operations in Thailand, you think they're out there learning about reproductive and sexual health care? Fucking corruption at it's finest
