HOUSE BILL No.

_Tntroduced by REP, JULIETTE T. UY

EXPLANATORY NOTE.

This bill seeks to establish a National High School in Barangay Hinigdaan in the City of El
Salvador, Province of Misamis Oriental. It isin aid of the Department of Education’s mandate to
implement the Basic Education Program throughout the country as mandated by Republic Act
9155 (Governance of Basic Education Act of 2001) and Republic Act 10533 (Enhanced Basie
Education Act of 2013) that ushered in the K-12 curriculum,

‘The measure directly responds to the education needs of the young people in Barangay Hinigdaan
and the adjacent Barangays of San Francisco de Asis and Kalabaylabay in El Salvador C
‘Togasnon in Alubijid town; and Awang and Bagocboc in Opol town.

Barangay Hinigdaan and its neighboring barangays comprise a service area where the need for a
high school is acutely felt. The proposed Hinigdaan National High School will eventually absorb
the sizable number of elementary school graduates who are unable to pursue secondary eclucntion
because of the limited number of high schools in the vicinity. As a majority of the area's families
are poor, private education is a most prohibitive option for them

‘This bill brings the State's responsibility to provide its citizens access to education to practice in
the area stated above. This is part of government's efforts toward knowledge and skills upgrading
to uplift community life to a new and relatively comfortable level.

With the establishment of the National High School, the government will also bring more vigor to
the community life in Barangay Hinigdaan and the adjacent villages of El Salvador City

‘The immediate passage of this bill is earnestly sought
