EXPLANATORY NOTE,

‘This bill seeks to establish a secondary science curriculum school in the City of
Pagadian to be known as the Pagadian City Science High School.

Pagadian City, being the designated Regional Center of Region IX (Zamboanga
Peninsula Region) now boosts of its unprecedented growth,

To complement these developments at the same time ensure its sustainability, this
Representation believes that education is a very important aspect.

However, since education system is fast evolving as we are now in the so called “age
of science”, our education system should also offer programs with core subjects in science
curriculum. This therefore s DepEd’s thrusts to establish science high schools
throughout the country so that as early as the children’s secondary education, those with
inclinations to develop their careers in the field of science and mathematics could be provided
with more intensive and advance secondary education program.

ince this secondary curriculum is offered on a free basis, this institution could also
provide opportunities to poor but potential students who excel in the field of science and
mathematics to develop and enhance their skills therefore ensuring them of better career
opportuni

Also. taking into consideration the strategic location of Pagadian City, establishing
this institution in the city will not only serve its residents but will also include poor but
deserving students from nearby municipalities,

Hence, immediate approval of this bill is earnestly requested)|\
