Sixteenth Congress
First Regular Session

Introduced by Hon. Frederick F, Abueg

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill aims to provide the youth of Barangay Canipaan in the Municipality of
Rizal, Province of Palawan, access to quality secondary education by converting the Jose P.
Rizal National High School ~ Canipaan Annex into a separate and distinct national high
school from the Jose P. Rizal National High School, to be known as CANIPAAN
NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL,

The Jose P. Rizal National High School ~ Canipaan Annex obtains its funding for
operations from its mother school, the Jose P. Rizal National High School. The continuous
increase in the number of enrollees of Canipaan Annex shows that students recognize the
tremendous value of education in shaping the future and alleviating poverty. Moreover, in
order for the school to function effectively and efficiently, a regular source of funds every
school year must be sufficient. It can only be realized by making it a distinct institution and
funding therefor included in the annual General Appropriations Act. Furthermore, the
separation and conversion into @ national high school will improve the administratipn éf both
Canipaan Annex and Jose P. Rizal National High School in terms of addressing the needs of
its students,

The Canipaan Annex High School was issued permit to operate by the Regional
Director of Region IV-B, Department of Education, pursuant to the request of local
government officials of Rizal, Palawan, after compliance with necessary requirements
therefor

This bill is recommended for approval, consistent with Article XIV Section One of
the 1987 Constitution which mandates that, “the State shall protect and promote the right of
all citizens to quality education at all levels, and shall take appropriate steps to make such
education accessible to all.”

In accordance with the State’s policy of providing quality education for its citizens,
the approval of this bill is earnestly recommended
