ESTABLISHING AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN BARANGAY ALABANG, CITY 
OF MUNTINLUPA, METRO MANILA, TO BE KNOWN AS FILINVEST 
ALABANG ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR,
AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Article II, Section 17 of the 1987 Constitution provides that, "the State shall 
give priority to education." The Constitution further declares that, "the State shall 
protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels and 
shall take appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all."
Barangay Alabang in the City of Muntinlupa only has one public elementary 
school providing education to the needs of 8,500 pupils. The city has seen the 
population rapidly grow and providing accessible and quality education with limited 
facilities and resources has been a constant challenge for the school. Furthermore, 
residents living in Sitio Rizal has been requesting for an elementary school closer to 
their area so students will no longer commute to Alabang Elementary School.
To address this problem, this bill seeks to establish a new elementary school 
in Barangay Alabang, Muntinlupa City, to be known as Filinvest Alabang Elementary 
School. This will provide primary education to the barangay as well as its 
neighboring communities.
In view of the foregoing, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
