SEVENTEENTH CONGRESS
First Regular Session

House Bill No.

Introduced by Honorable FREDERICK W. SIAO

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to separate the lligan City National High School — Tambacan
Annex (ICNHS - Tambacan Annex) situated in Barangay Tambacan, Iligan City,
from its mother or administrative school, the TIligan City National High School
(ICNHS) situated in Barangay Mahayhay, Iligan City, and converting it from an
annex school into an independent national high school to be known as the
Tambacan National High School (TNHS).

The passage of this proposed measure is intended to address the need
for a more functional, independent and financially stable secondary school
and to promote an accessible, affordable and quality education for all secondary
students in the above-mentioned Barangay and its adjacent Barangays. Indeed,
accessibility to quality and affordable education that extends to the poorest
of the poor has been one of the national government's thrusts in cradicating
poverty as itis henceforth provided by way of the passage of this bill.

This bill was approved by the House Committee on Basic Education and
Culture during the Fifteenth (15"") Congress as House Bill No. 3564 and was
refiled again as House Bill No, 2334 during the Sixteenth (16") Congress.
