REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE • 1991 Local Government Code (LGC), also known as the “Local Autonomy Law” the 1991 LGC or RA 7160 formally abolished the Kabataang Baranggay (KB) and provided the youth another opportunity to directly participate in governance from the grassroots level to the national level through the Katipunan ng Kabataan (KK) and the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK). • Power and the Functions of Sanguniang Kabataan: * Promulgate Resolutions * Initiate programs designed to enhance the social, political, economic, cultural, intellectual, moral, spiritual, and physical development
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE * hold fund-raising activities * submit annual and end-of-term reports * consult & coordinate with all youth organizations in the Barangay * coordinate with appropriate national agency (LGC, Chapter 8, section 426) • Gibbs, (1969, cited by Rost, 1993) indicates that there have been various proposals to reserve the term leader for those who lead by virtue of their personal charisma and esteem in which their subordinates hold them. The term head supposedly designates the administrator or manager who holds the virtue of administrative appointment.
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE • Also, Dobel cited in his article Public Administration Review (Vol. 58, 1998) noted that the disjunction of ethics and achievement has inspired many to despair of the relationship between ethics and leadership, best summed up by Niccolo Machiavelli, “the man who wants to act virtuously in every way necessarily comes to grief among so many who are not virtuous” (1973). • Leadership entails ethics because leaders have responsibilities. Persons in positions of leadership make a difference; they can bring about changes in behaviour that would not occur without their presence and actions(Dobel,1998). .
