List of members

[edit]

An additional three ex officio members are the presidents of the provincial chapters of the Association of Barangay Captains, the Councilors' League, the Sangguniang Kabataan provincial president; the municipal and city (if applicable) presidents of the Association of Barangay Captains, Councilors' League and Sangguniang Kabataan, shall elect amongst themselves their provincial presidents which shall be their representatives at the board.[1]

However, with the recent controversy regarding the role of the Sangguniang Kabataan and the proposed amendments to the Local Government Code, specifically the Sangguniang Kabataan provisions, the Sangguniang Kabataan provincial chapter president did not serve as an ex officio member of the Provincial Board until 2019.[2][3]

After the 2018 Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections, the SK provincial chapter president has been seated as an ex officio member of the Provincial Board since 2019.
