HOUSE BILL NO. 4 76 5

INTRODUCED BY REPRESENTATIVE ADRIAN MICHAEL A. AMATONG

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to separate the Baliguian National High School-Abduhari
Andan Esmali Annex from the Baliguian National High School and convert it
into an independent national high school to be known as the Abduhari Andan
Esmali National High School.

Baliguian National High School-Abduhari Andan Esmali Annex is
located at Barangay Nonoyan in the Municipality of Baliguian, a third-class
municipality in the Province of Zamboanga del Norte. Currently, it has 92
students from Grades 7-9, with more students expected to enroll in the
succeeding years.

The separation of Baliguian National High School-Abduhari Andan
Esmali Annex is sought considering that it is nine (9) kilometers away from the
nearest high school, making it the most accessible school for the constituents
of Barangay Nonoyan and its nearby barangays. Moreover, its conversion as an
independent national high school will provide it with more funds necessary for
the construction of classrooms and employment of permanent teaching and
non-teaching personnel.

It is also noteworthy that the separation of Abduhari Andan Esmali
Annex from its mother school and its establishment as an independent school
is recommended by the Schools Division Office of Zamboanga del Norte.

In turn, this measure will uphold the State’s mandate under the
Constitution to “protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality

education at all levels” and to “take appropriate steps to make such education
accessible to all.”

In view of the foregoing, the approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
