Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Jonvic Remulla criticized some Manila Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) Federation members for flaunting their government-funded trip to Thailand on social media.

Remulla described the display as "brazenness" and an example of a "bad taste" culture, adding that training and capacity-building abroad are not necessary.

The DILG will review policies regarding government-funded travels for local government officials, including the SK, to ensure these serve a legitimate purpose.

The review will carefully examine the language regarding fund sources and specify required clearances for such trips.

The SK members' travel to Thailand drew flak from netizens who tagged the trip as a junket.
