EXPLANATORY NOTE 
Section 2(1), Article XIV of the 1987 Constitution provides, in part: 
“SEC. 2. The State shall: 
(1) Establish, maintain, and support a complete
adequate, and integrated system of education relevant to the 
needs of the people and society; 
xxx 
xxx 
xxx.” 
Consistent with the aforesaid mandate of the 1987 Constitution, this bill 
seeks to separate the Badian National High School-Alcantara National High 
School Extension located in Barangay Poblacion, Municipality of Alcantara, 
Province of Cebu from the Badian National High School located in the 
Municipality of Badian, Province of Cebu and convert it into an independent 
national high school to be known as the Alcantara National High School.  
The Badian National High School-Alcantara National High School 
Extension is an existing public high school extension campus located in the 
Municipality of Alcantara which is under the administration, management and 
instructional supervision and control of the Badian National High School.  
As a non-implementing unit secondary school, it has a separate 
appropriation in the General Appropriations Act.  Republic Act (RA) No. 10964, 
otherwise known as the “General Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2018,” 
provides funding for the operation of the Badian National High School-Alcantara 
National High School Extension.

Converting the Badian National High School-Alcantara National High 
School Extension into an independent high school will address the growing 
problem on the increasing number of the student populace from nine (9) 
barangays of the Municipality of Alcantara and its neighboring municipalities. 
This proposed measure will provide the residents of Alcantara and the nearby 
municipalities with an inexpensive, practical and sustainable means to quality 
basic education. 
 
In view of the foregoing, immediate passage of the bill is earnestly sought.
