EXPLANATORY

The state of secondary school education in Besigan, Cagayan de Oro has high and low
points. It's premier public school, Besigan National High School, is attended by a significant
number of students from first to fourth year. In the school's thirteen years of existence, it has
provided education to the youth in the barangay, thus fueling their dreams and providing them
with a better chance for the future. It's lowest point comes in the form of deplorable conditions of
the facilities that can be found in makeshift classrooms. At present, some students attend classes
held at the Barangay Hall. The student population should have been greater if it were not for the
great inconvenience posed by the absence of classrooms and other facilities.

Besigan National High School is currently tied with Taglimao National High School,
Unfortunately for the students of Besigan, Taglimao National High School is located a good sixty
five (65) kilometers from Besigan. The distance has been truly unfair to the Besigan students.
Expecting the to travel that distance daily is unrealistic, specially in the light of present financial
difficulties experienced by most Filipino families.

The donation of a 2.6 hectare land by a philanthropic citizen fpr the construction of a
proper school has brought the students’ dream to near fruition. The bufiding of classrooms and
the provision of functional educational facilities are all that is left for the cotot to come to life.

This bill, then, seeks the separation of Besigan National High School from Taglimao
National High School. Granting the school it’s independence is tantfAmount th eliminating the
hurdies in the education of Besigan’s youth.

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