House Bill No. 878 
Introduced by Representative REYNOLDS MICHAEL T. TAN 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This Bill seeks to convert the Literon Elementary School in Barangay 
Literon, Municipality of Calbiga, Province of Samar, into an Integrated School to 
be known as the Literon Integrated School.  
Barangay Literon in the Municipality of Calbiga, Samar, is home to the 
Literon Elementary School which caters to the need of the said barangay as well 
as its neighboring barangays. The said barangay was a known 'hot spot' of the 
New People's Army and the armed struggle due to its proximity to the hinterlands 
of Samar. The opening of roads paved the way for more school children and 
students to go to school. Additionally, the local officials of the Municipality of 
Calbiga, Samar, found it also fitting to reform and refocus the educational 
thrusts of the Literon Elementary School in order to suit the prevailing clamor of 
the people of Barangay Literon in their pursuit to a quality education. 
Consistent with the Constitutional mandate which provides that the State 
must establish and maintain a complete, adequate and integrated system of 
education in consonance with the goals of national development, hence this Bill 
becomes imperative. 
Moreover, the conversion of the Literon Elementary School into an 
Integrated School will have a greater impact on the rural areas where it is located 
and further advance education and training in the student’s primary education. 
It will also circumvent the younger generation from being sympathetic to the 
armed struggle since values formation at the formative years will be inculcated. 
Similarly, it will enhance simultaneous economic growth in the Municipality of 
Calbiga, Samar.
