HOUSE BILL NO. 1154
Introduced by Rep. CAROLINE B. AGYAO
EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Bill seeks to establish an e-library and computer laboratory in Pinukpuk
Elementary School in Barangay Pinukpuk Junction, Municipality of Pinukpuk in the Province
of Kalinga.
To adopt to the new normal in this digital age, educational institutions are now
gearing towards digital learning platforms to continue with the process of educating students.
The new normal now is a transformed concept of education with digital learning tools at the
core of this transformation. Moreover, by extending beyond traditional textbooks to include
digital resources, educational institutions are able to become more efficient educators since
the most updated and extensive resources and references can be accessed online in various
digital libraries.
To ensure that the students can access these digital libraries, this proposed measure
seeks to establish an e-library and computer laboratory within Pinukpuk Elementary School
to consist of at least thirty (30) units of computers that shall have access to the internet and to
the digital libraries and collections of the National Library of the Philippines.
In view of the foregoing, I earnestly seek the approval of this bill.
