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.
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.
