RY NOTE
The 1987 Constitution provides that the State shall protect and promote the
rights of al1 citizens to quality education at all levels and shall take necessary and
appropriate steps to make education accessible to all. The Constitution likewise
mandates the State to establish and maintain a system of free education in the
elementary and high school levels.
This bill proposes to formally establish a National High School in Barangay
Poblacion, Municipality of Pio V. Corpuz, Province of Masbate to be known as
Severino P. Arellano Memorial National High School. There is an evident need for the
forrnal establishment of the requested high school in this part of the said Municipality
as it will directly benefit the students in the salne barungay and the other adjoining
barangays, for they will be given the opportunity to liberate themselves from illiteracy
and eventuaLly upgrade their social and economic status without compromising their
s#ety and well-being. In frirr; our students will become a productive members of the
society, thereby conkibuting to the development of our country.
