Introduced by Hon. Rolando “Klarex” A. Uy

EXPLANATORY NOTE

It is our constitutional mandate as stated in Article XIV, Section 1 of the 1987 Philippine
Constitution to protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels and
take appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all.

‘Tagpangi National High Schoo! ~ Tuburan Annex was established in 2002 specifically for
the benefit of the young people of the 14 distant sitios in the 1* District of Cagayan de Oro City

While the existing facility is operational and is serving hundreds of enrollees this year, the
needs of a rapidly increasing number of students each year requiring immediate attention cannot
be acted on straightaway by it's administrators. They are dependent on the judgement of their
mother school, Tagpangi National High School. Oftentimes, fhey are made to wait. Not to
mention that the Tagpangi National High School officials may [prioritize the needs of the main
school, which in effect may put the needs of the Tuburan Annex}n the backseat , thereby denying
the students of the latter, their right to quality education.

Making quality education available to all children, regafdless of their geographical site is
of prime importance. Itis the only way we can prepare the nex} generatibn to face the challenges
of life and equip them for a brighter future.

In view thereof, the approval of this bill is earnestly sopight.
