HOUSE BILL NO.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert the Vito Pechangco Memorial National High School ~ Malis
Extension located in Barangay Malis, Municipality of Brooke’s Point, Province of Palgwan,
into a separate and distinct national high school from the Vito Pechangco Memorial National
High School, to be known as MALIS NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL.

The Vito Pechangco Memorial National High School ~ Malis Extension obtains its
funding for operations from its mother school, the Vito Pechangco Memorial National High
School. The continuous increase in the number of enrollees of Malis Extension shows that
students recognize the tremendous value of education in shaping the future and alleviating
poverty. Moreover, in order for the school to function effectively and efficiently, a regular
source of funds every school year must be sufficient. It can only be realized by making it a
distinct institution and funding therefor included in the annual General Appropriations Act,
Furthermore, the separation and conversion into a national high school will improve the
administration of both Malis Extension and Vito Pechangco Memorial National High School
in terms of addressing the needs of its students.

The Malis Extension High School was issued permit to operate by the Regional
Director of Region IV-B, Department of Education, pursuant to the request of local
government officials of Brooke's Point, Palawan, after compliance with necessary
requirements therefor ae

This bill is recommended for approval, consistent with Article XIV Section One of
the 1987 Constitution which mandates that, “the State shall protect and promote the right of
all citizens to quality education at all levels, and shall take appropriate steps to make such
education accessible to all.”

In accordance with the State’s policy of providing quality education for its citizens,

the approval of this bill is earnestly recommended. met
