The SKC Digital Hub is officially live, and we want to reconnect with the leaders who helped build our movement’s foundation. As a former delegate of our flagship program, your experience and perspective are invaluable to our growing network.

We are launching this platform to bridge the gap between our leaders across the Philippines and around the globe. Whether you want to collaborate on new projects, conduct research, develop programs, or simply meet fellow delegates in a new city, this hub is your new home. It’s never been easier to reconnect and stay active—virtually.

We are currently in our Beta Phase and would appreciate your feedback as we build this technology by youth leaders for youth leaders.

For over 30 years, we, the people, have waited for a law that operationalizes our constitutional right to information and the state policy of full public disclosure of transactions involving public interest.

The House’s approval of House Bill No. 9397 affirms its resplendent history in and outside Congress, and the painstaking and dutiful labor of its champions and advocates then and now.

In the 20th Congress, salute and respect to all of its key architects, notably the House Committee on Public Information led by Committee Chairperson Rep. Lordan G. Suan, its Vice Chairpersons and members, the Technical Working Group led by Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan, the Committee on Appropriations, the authors of the 20-plus RTI bills that the committee consolidated into its report, and stakeholders from government, media, civil society, academe, and citizens’ groups who contributed to the deliberations.

We extend special thanks to the House Committee Secretariat and the Freedom of Information – Program Management Office (FOI-PMO) of the Presidential Communications Office for their invaluable support throughout the legislative process.

As an affiliated group of the Global Civil Society Coalition for the UNCAC, Sigaw ng Kabataan Coalition (SKC) stands with civil society partners from around the world in calling for a stronger, more transparent, inclusive, and effective Implementation Review Mechanism (IRM) under the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC).

With negotiations underway in Doha, this is a critical moment. Decisions made now will shape how UNCAC is reviewed and implemented for the next 10–15 years.

We support key reforms that:
✔️ Enhance transparency
✔️ Strengthen meaningful stakeholder participation
✔️ Improve efficiency and follow-up
✔️ Ensure real impact in implementation

A robust IRM enables civil society, youth, journalists, academia, and the private sector to meaningfully contribute to global anti-corruption efforts.

Let’s make the IRM .
