HOUSE BILL NO.

Introduced by Hon. Frederick F. Abueg

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill aims to provide the youth of Barangay Malatgao in the Municipality of
Quezon, Province of Palawan, access to quality secondary education by converting the
Quezon Panitian National High School ~ Malatgao Extension into a separate and distinct
national high school from the Quezon Panitian National High School, to be known as
MALATGAO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL.

‘The Quezon Panitian National High School - Malatgao Extension was established on
June 2011. It has been dependent on Quezon Panitian National High School as a source of
funding since its establishment, The continuous increase in the number of enrollees of
Malatgao Extension 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 a
national high school will improve the administration of both Malatgao Extension and Quezon
Panitian National High School in terms of addressing the needs of its students,

‘

The Malatgao Extension 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 Quezon, 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.” eo a

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