Elections for Sangguniang Kabataan, known as the SK Chairman, and members of the Katipunan ng mga Kabataan were originally scheduled to be held at the same time but on September 24, 2013 the Philippine Congress voted to postpone the elections for at least a year.

Fourteen bills were proposed in the 15th Philippine Congress to postpone the election to a variety of dates.

[5] Because of allegations that the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) was a "breeding ground for political dynasty and exposes the youth to corruption and the practice of traditional politicians" known colloquially as trapos, on September 24, 2013, the Congress of the Philippines passed a bill to (a) postpone the scheduled October 2013 SK elections until sometime between October 28, 2014 and February 23, 2015 and (b) leave vacant all the SK positions until new officers are elected.

[1] The 10% funds from the Internal Revenue Allotment designated for SK activities would be used by the barangays for youth development programs.
