EXPLANATOFIY NOTE
Article  XIV,  Section  1  of  the  Philippine  Constitution  provides  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."
Presently,  there  is  no  high  school  in  Barangay  Colong-colong,  Tagkawayan,
Quezon.  The  students  in  said  barangay  had  to  travel   nine  (9)  kilometers  to  the
nearest  school  in  Barangay  Munting  Parang,  the  Tagkawayan  National  High  School,
to  be able to go to school.  Its catchment areas of Aliji, Sabang,  Laurel, Candalapdap,
and  Mahinta  do  not have  high  schools as well.
Hence,   this   measure  seeks  to  establish   a   national   high   school   in   Colong-
colong,  Tagkawayan,  Quezon  to  address  the  increasing  demand  for  a  school  in  the
area to handle the increasing  number of students.
In   view   of  the  foregoing,   the   immediate   passage   of  this   bill   is  earnestly
sought.
