SEPARATING THE BAGOLATAO HIGH SCHOOL —-
VILLAMAYOR HIGH SCHOOL ANNEX IN BARANGAY
BAGOLATAO, MUNICIPALITY OF MINALABAC, PROVINCE OF
CAMARINES SUR FROM THE VILLAMAYOR HIGH SCHOOL,
CONVERTING IT INTO AN INDEPENDENT NATIONAL HIGH
SCHOOL TO BE KNOWN AS BAGOLATAO NATIONAL HIGH
SCHOOL, AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR

EXPLANATORY NOTE

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

Regrettably, the Municipality of Minalabac 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
Bagolatao High School - Villamayor High School Annex from the Villamayor High
School and to convert the same into an independent national high school to be
called the Bagolatao 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
