NINETEENTH CONGRESS 
First regular Session 
   HOUSE BILL NO.   
Introduced by Representative Divina Grace C. Yu 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill seeks to separate the existing Tukuran Technical-Vocational High School-Baclay 
Extension in Barangay Baclay, Municipality of Tukuran, Province of Zamboanga del Sur 
from Tukuran Technical-Vocational High School to be known as Baclay National High 
School. 
Funding support from the Local Government and other private entities have helped in terms 
of the physical improvement of the school but much more is needed to meet the growing 
school populace and student needs such as the increase in the number of teachers, books, 
computers, and other instructional and learning materials in line with the Enhanced Basic 
Education Curriculum (K-12). 
The prioritization in the allotment of funds directly from the national government would 
greatly help to ensure that the growing needs of the school would be met, and the high 
standard of education be provided to our deserving students. 
As sections 1 and 2 (1), Article 14 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution states: “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 and establish and maintain, and 
support a complete, adequate and integrated system of education relevant to the needs of 
the people and society”.  
With these reasons, immediate passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
