EXPLANATORY NOTE 
Education is the key that allows people to move up in the world, seek better jobs, and 
ultimately succeed fully in life. Education is very important, and no one should be 
deprived of it. 
The Constitution mandates the State to protect and promote the right of all citizens to 
quality education at all levels and to take appropriate steps to make such education 
accessible to all. 
This bill seeks to convert the Pamukid National High School into Pamukid National 
Science High School with the end view of promoting quality education as envisioned 
by the Constitution as the Municipality of San Fernando does not have sufficient funds 
to support the needs of the school and its students. Due to this situation, the school 
and its students are currently suffering from lack of facilities, materials and qualified 
faculty. There is an urgent need, therefor, to pass the burden to the national 
government if only to pursue the constitutional mandate of promoting the right of 
citizens to quality education.  
Hence, the immediate approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
