The Katipunan ng Kabataan (KK) which means Youth Federation in English, is the mainstream federation of Filipino youths duly sponsored by the government of the Republic of the Philippines. It has chapters in all the 41,996 barangays of the country.
Its chapter officers are elected at large by the members of the Katipunan ng Kabataan in each Barangay. The officers elected are known as the Sangguniang Kabataan, whose term of office is usually three years, although this has been extended in some cases.
The Katipunan ng Kabataan is not as popular as the Sangguniang Kabataan, although its members who are at least fifteen years old but not more than eighteen years based on the latest law, vote the officers that compose the Sangguniang Kabataan (Youth Council).
Katipunan ng Kabataan is an offshoot of the Kabataang Barangay in which former Representative Imee Romualdez Marcos, the presidential daughter of then late President Ferdinand Marcos (Liberal Party/ Philippines) became the KB President in 1975–1984.
