EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert the Benguet National High School- Alno Annex which is
located at Barangay Alno, in the Municipality of La Trinidad, Province of Benguet into a
national high school to be known as the Alno National High School.

Prior to its establishment in 2005, high school students from this Barangay flock to the
town of La Trinidad and to the City of Baguio for their secondary education. Due to the increase
of population in the Community, coupled with the worsening traffic condition along the main
thoroughfares within the areas of La Trinidad and Baguio, negotiating this short distance from
home to school has made it difficult for school children to catch up with their respective
schedules on time. For these reasons, the barangay officials of Alno, supported by their
constituents, clamoured for the establishment of a secondary school in the community. In
respond to this clamour, the Municipal Government of La Trinidad initiated the establishment of
the school in partnership with the Department of Education, Benguet Division

Starting with just enough enrolment for the first year, the number of students grew every
year up to the fourth year including senior high schools. At present, Benguet National High
School -Alno Annex has a_ population of almost four hundred (400) students and with the influx
of students from adjacent sitios of neighboring barangays, population of students kept on
growing. Solution to this yearly increase of students can be promptly addressed by converting
this high school annex into a national high school in order to meet its expanding budget
requirement.

For twenty years, it has existed as a mere annex school and that by all indications, it has
reached the level of growth that highly qualifies it for conversion into a national high school.

Approval of this bill is earnestly urged.
