HOUSE BILL NO.

Introduced by: Hon. Rolando “Klarex” Uy

EXPLANATORY NOTE

It is our constitutional mandate as stated in Article XIV, Section 1 of the 1987 Philippine
Constitution to protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels and
take appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all.

To ensure the full implementation of the government policy on Education for All (EFA),
this humble representation along with the Cagayan de Oro City LGU aims to establish an
independent national high school in Barangay Pagatpat in the 1* District of Cagayan de Oro.

The area's estimated population, according to a 2013 population census, is at 6,970 with
1,500 households comprised of an average of 4-5 family members per household. This number
has significantly increased since then with the 1,300 households in the relocation area
instituted within the barangay.

Creating an independent national high school in the area will help reduce the risk of
exposing the children to traffic accidents which they face everyday in travelling to the nearby
town’s high school facility. Another concern is, they have to compete to get enrolled in the
said school because of the bulk of enrollees each year. ‘0 meet the demands of the
continuous increase of school population and to defray the|’ transportation expenses that
burdens most parents struggle with, it is pertinent for Brgy. P4gatpat to have an independent
national high school.

This bill, then, seeks the separation of Canitoan Natiohal High\School Pagatpat Annex
from it's mother school, Canitoan National High School, The impleipentation of such will
provide the youth of Brey. Pagatpat a greater chance at learning.

In view thereof, the approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
