HOUSE BILL NO, 3774

introduced by: Hon. Rolando “Klarex” Uy

Education in the farthest reaches of our country is currently existing in unfortunate conditions.
Article XIV, Section 1 of the Constitution states that “The State shall protect and promote the right of all
citizens to quality education at all levels of education and shall take appropriate steps to make such
education accessible to all”.

As it is the duty of the government to ensure that quality education be made available to all
Filipino students, there is a real need to focus on making it accessible to those living in remote areas.

Such is the primary justification for the need to separate the Dansolihon National High School
from its mother schoo! Mambuaya National High School, The former has been in existence since June
2005, created specifically for the students of Barangay Dansolihon and the seventeen (17) sitios nearby.
It has since served hundreds of students despite its serious need for proper facilities.

As an Annex School, Dansolihon National High School has to defer to the decision making body at
Mambuaya National High School, Such a set-up has not always been advantageous to the former, as
their school’s interest are often prioritized. This is indeed unfortunate as the enrollment of a steadily
increasing student body population signifies various emerging concerns that could best be addressed by
the administrative body that is not dictated by an external one. Dansolihon National High School must
be allowed to function separately and independently in order for its administrators to have a free rein In
pursuing their vision for the school.

There is an impending need to deliver quality education to be delivered to all members of our
society, especially to those living in areas far from the city ~ center. Education is truly the fastest and
most certain way for a city to achieve socio-economic progress. The development of Dansolinon
National High School separately from its mother school, which is earnestly sought by this bill, will be a


significant step towards the realization of this goal as itis ultimately almed at ensuring the existence of @

knowledgeable and consequently productive citizenry.

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