HOUSE BILL no, 2257

Introduced by Representative GENARO M. ALVAREZ, JR.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to separate the Culipapa National High School - Sangke Annex
in Barangay Sangke, Hinoba-an, Negros Occidental from its mother school the
Culipapa National High School and convert it into a separate and independent
national high school to be known as Vicente Z. Badon National High School.

Barangay Sangke is one of the farthest barangays of the Municipality of
Hinoba-an. Students from Sangke used to travel to Barangay Culipapa to reach the
nearest high school. The opening of the Annex of Culipapa National High School gave
the students and the out-of-school youth of Sangke the chance to finish their
secondary education.

With the conversion of Culipapa National High School - Sangke Annex into an
independent national high school, the capability of the school as a catalyst of change
will be boosted. It is a generally accepted fact that better accessibility to education
will not only improve the economic life of the people but also their social and
political conditions. As the government is brought closer to the people in this part of
the country, our children are also drawn further away from the dangerous clutches
of insurgency, juvenile delinquency, crimes, ignorance and poverty,

In view of the foregoing, passage of espectfully s

NARO M/ALVAREZ, JR.
