EXPLANATORY NOTE
This  Bill  proposes to  formally  establish  an  Integrated  School  in  Barangay  San
lsidro, Municipality of Jose Abad Santos, Province of Davao Occidental to be known
as  Sumaya  Senon  Integrated  School.  The  nearest school  is  more  or  less four
kilometers away.   ]t has mountainous terrain that makes it difficult for the more than
462  learners taught by  15 teachers.    Establishment of Sumaya  Senon  Integrated
School will lessen the difficulty of students in going to another school and afford them
security in the pursuit of another level of the schooling without the hazard of trekking
through difficult paths on the mountainous landscape.
As provided in section 2 first paragraph of Republic Act 9155 also known as the
"Governance  of  Basic  Education  Act  of  2001"  clearly  provides  that  "lt  is  hereby
declared  the  policy of the  State to  protect and  promote the  right of all  citizens to
quality basic education and to make such education accessible to all by providing all
Filipino  children  and  free  compulsory  education  in  the  elementary  level  and  free
education in the high school level.
There is an evident need for the formal establishment of the requested integrated
school  as  it will  directly  benefit  the  four  hundred  sixty  two  (462)  learners  in  the
barangay, for they will be given the opportunity to liberate themselves from illiteracy
and eventually upgrade their social and economic status without compromising their
safety and well -being.
In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of thi
earnestly sought.
