NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Bacoor National High School - Tabing Dagat Annex (BNHS-TDA) is a Junior 
High School located at 3,411 sq.m, reclaimed area of Barangay Tabing Dagat, Bacoor 
City, Cavite. It was established as Bacoor Municipal High School in 1972 through 
Sangguniang Bayan Ordinansa Bilang 89. Batas Pambansa Bilang 582 converted the 
school from Bacoor Municipal High School to Bacoor National High School on July 26, 
1982.
The Schools Division Superintendent of Department of Education (DepED) 
Bacoor recommended to the City School Board the urgent need to separate BNHS- 
TDA from BNHS-Molino Main. This bill proposes the separation of the BNHS-TDA 
from BNHS-Molino Main; hence, allowing BNHS-TDA to have its own budget and 
plantilla of positions under DepED.
This bill is supported by the City government as shown in Sangguniang 
Panlungsod Ordinance No. CO 8-2015, Bacoor Public School Reconstitution 
Ordinance, and also more recently under City Resolution No. CR 2020-284.


This bill also seeks to rename the BNHS-TD, after its conversion into a regular 
public high school, to Padre Mariano Gomes National High School (PMGNHS). Padre 
Mariano Gomes is one of the three martyr priests of GOMBURZA (Gomes, Burgos 
and Zamora). He was the very first parish priest of the St. Michael Church in Poblacion 
of Bacoor, which is very near the BHNS-TDA school site. This year 2022 also marks 
the 150th anniversary of the martyrdom of GOMBURZA. In light of the viral #MAJOHA, 
the renaming is a fitting tribute to his legacy of patriotism and fear of God which core 
values are expected to inspire the Bacooreho students of PGMNHS.
In the interest of making secondary education more accessible and responsive 
to Bacoor, the immediate passage of this measure is earnestly sought.
RAMON
REVILLA, JR.
