The budget will fund a range of programs, projects, and activities aimed at fostering youth empowerment and active community participation, in alignment with the objectives of the Sangguniang Kabataan Reform Act of 2015 (Republic Act 10742).

Out of the total budget, ₱200,000.00 has been earmarked for socio-cultural activities designed to engage and uplift the youth in Barangay Pagatpat. Additionally, ₱157,395.57 has been allocated for the renovation of the SK office, ensuring an enhanced and more functional space to serve as a hub for youth activities.

The legislation was reviewed and endorsed by the Committee on Sports and Youth Development, chaired by Councilor Kenneth John D. Sacala, and the Committee on Laws and Rules, chaired by Councilor Edgar S. Cabanlas.
