rORY NOTE,

This bill seeks to convert the Hapid National High School Annex located in Barangay
Bimpal, Municipality of Lamut, Province of Ifugao into Bimpal Technical and
Vocational National High School offering technical, vocational and other related subjects
in consonance with the policies, programs and standards towards quality technical
education and skills development.

‘The province of Ifugao is among the least privileged areas and still one among the
poorest provinces in our country today. Notable is the lack of technical and vocational
high schools in the province. This proposed measure aims to do justice to the residents by
establishing technical and vocational high schools to cater their educational needs.
Considering the role of education in spurring development, this measure will enhance the
social economic development of the area and encourage the youth to seck a different goal
into achieving a career or vocation which is noble in intention and modem in means and
insights.

In this light, I am filing this bill to recognize and give life to the Constitutional Right of
every Filipino to quality education and make such education accessible to all.

Further, given its importance, this bill is most respectfully submi \d requested for
carly approval
