16

A Guide for Sangguniang Kabataan Officials

I. Basics of Parliamentary Procedure 1. What is Parliamentary Procedure? Parliamentary Procedure is a set of rules and precedent governing formal proceedings of a deliberative body or assembly, as in the case of the provincial, city, municipal or barangay council. 2. What is the objective of the Parliamentary Procedure? It aims to ensure an order and smooth conduct of deliberations, which depends to a large measure on the skills of the presiding officer (also referred to as The Chair who controls all the discussion). 3. What are the sessions of the sanggunian or council? a. Regular Sessions are sessions which are convened at scheduled times and deal with both the general and usual business of the sanggunian, and b. Special Sessions are sessions which are called as the need arises to tackle specific item(s) or issue(s). 4. How to address the presiding officer? During the sessions of the sanggunian, members address the presiding officer as Mr. or Madam Chairman/ Chairperson; the chairperson refers to himself or herself in the third person. 5. How to address the members? Individual members of the body in session are referred to in the third person.
17

A Guide for Sangguniang Kabataan Officials

Ex.

The gentlemen/lady from the Will the Gentlemen/Lady yield to a few questions?

6. How can someone be recognized? A member who wishes to speak must raise his/her hand or rise and request the Chair for recognition. Ex. Mr. Chairperson may I be recognized, please?

7. What is a motion? A motion is a means by which an action is attained. Informal discussion helps develop opinions, but to get action a motion must be introduced, then seconded by another member (except for nominations), and re-stated by the Chair. All motions should be expressed in the affirmative. The Chair has the authority to close the general discussion and call for a specific motion. (e.g. The Chair will entertain a motion to). Only one motion can be entertained at a time. After a motion is seconded, the Chair may explain or give information concerning the effect of the motion. The question is then up for concentrated debate by the membership. 8. How to present a motion? Normally, presenting a motion calls for: a.) Member rises and addresses the Chair; b.) Member is recognized by the Chair. If the Chairman does not know the member he says: Will the member please register his name? and then recognizes him/her; c.) Member states his/her proposal: Mr. Chairman, I move that;
18

A Guide for Sangguniang Kabataan Officials

d.) The Chair calls for a second and if no member seconds the motion, the Chair repeats his request: Is there a second for the motion? If the motion is not seconded or a second motion is not forthcoming, the Chair announces: The motion is lost for want of a second; e.) If seconded, the motion is re-stated by the Chair: It was moved and seconded that; f.) The Chair conducts the discussion or debate; g.) The Chair puts the questions to a vote; and h.) The Chair announces the result. In recognizing the members, the chair also considers the order in which members raise their hands. 9. How to preside a session or meeting? a.) The presiding officer follows a general order of business which normally starts with the call to order and ends with the official adjournment; and The order of business is a means to provide a logical system for group considerations and the procedure by which the Chair tackles one item after another. The order of business can be revised anytime by a 2/3 vote of the members.

b.)

10. How to call the session to order a.) To open the session, the Chairperson rises, raps the gavel and declares: The session may please come to order. He may then proceed with the other opening rites or numbers or directly inquire from the Secretary if a quorum is present. b.) If there is a quorum, the Chair proceeds with the agenda or
19

A Guide for Sangguniang Kabataan Officials

order of business. c.) If there is no quorum, he says: As there is no quorum, a motion to adjourn is in order. A motion has to be made by a member, then duly seconded, and then the chair declares the session adjourned. d.) In special cases the Chair may conduct session without quorum. However, actions and decisions promulgated during such session (or more appropriately caucus) shall be subject to approval at the next duly constituted session/ meeting. e.) The Chair usually decide as to forgo the calling of the roll except in instances where there is a question as whether there is a quorum, or to identify all individuals present and those not present. f.) If the session starts with a quorum, but losses it later in the session, only those item taken up or for which votes were taken while the quorum exists shall be considered officially acted upon. g.) For all others, discussion may continue but no vote can be taken. 11. Conducting Debate or Discussion on a motion A debate is in order if a motion is classified as debatable. There are few rules, however, to observe during the process and they are as follows: a.) No member should speak without first being recognized by the Chair. b.) The chair should first recognize the original mover of the motion, if said mover wishes to speak. c.) The chair should, as far as practicable, alternate the speakers
20

A Guide for Sangguniang Kabataan Officials

for and the speakers who are against the motion. d.) No member shall speak the second time until all members who need to speak have had the chance. 12. How to terminate a debate? a.) To terminate the debate, the presiding officer may signal this intention by asking the members: Is the membership ready to act on the questions? b.) If there should be opposition, he may call for a voice vote or show hands. The Chair should see to it that the question has been adequately deliberated upon before the Chairs final action. c.) On the other hand, a member may initiate to terminate the debate by saying: I move the previous question. This motion cannot be debated and must be put to vote immediately which requires a 2/3 vote of the members. [ISKOLAR-BOS Manual] II. Minutes of a meeting or Session Minutes refers to the official document recording of what happens during session or meeting of a deliberative body like the Sangguniang Kabataan. 1. The Sangguniang Kabataan Secretary is responsible for the preparation of the minutes.In his absence, the Sangguniang Kabataan may choose from among themselves a temporary secretary. 2.
