EXPLANATORY NOTE

‘This bill seeks to separate the Colongulo National High School ~ Libertad National
High School Annex from the Libertad National High School in the Municipality of Surallah
and convert it into an independent national high school.

The proposed autonomy of Colongulo National High School, which opened as an
annex of Libertad National High School in June, 2004 and served as an active learning
institution for students as well as a good training ground for teachers, will enable the school
to receive and fully operationalize its own budget for a more effective administration and
management of personnel and facilities.

In addition, the separation and independence of Colongulo National High School is a
timely legislation that will uplift the quality of education for students who have brought much
honor and pride to the community of Barangay Colongulo which it truly deserves.

In support of this objective, the Sangguniang Barangay of Colongulo, Surallah, with
the support of the Parents and Teachers Association of Colongulo National High School ~
Libertad National High School Annex, have unanimously approved a resolution endorsing
the enactment of this measure.

In view of the foregoing, the swift passage of this bill is eamestly requested.
