SEPARATING THE NORTHERN PLAIN HIGH SCHOOL - SAN
ISIDRO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL ANNEX IN BARANGAY
PATAG, MUNICIPALITY OF LIBMANAN, PROVINCE OF
CAMARINES SUR FROM THE SAN ISIDRO NATIONAL HIGH
SCHOOL, CONVERTING IT INTO AN INDEPENDENT NATIONAL

NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL, AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS
THEREFOR

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Article XIV of the Constitution mandates that, “[tJhe state shall protect the
right of all citizens to quality education at all levels and shall take appropriate steps
to make such education accessible to all.”

Regrettably, the Municipality of Libmanan does not have sufficient funds to
support the needs of all its schools and students. Thus, in line with the
Constitutional mandate above, it is essential that the National Government lend its
hand in assisting public municipal schools. The bill therefore seeks to separate the
Northern Plain High School - San Isidro National High School Annex from the San
Isidro National High School and to convert the same into an independent national
high school to be called the Northern Plain National High School in the hope that
greater participation from the National Government will help promote quality
education in the provinces.

We therefore urge our colleagues to work with us for the passage of this bill.
