HOUSE BILL No.729

INTRODUCED BY REP. MAXIMO, JR. Y. DALOG

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Section 1, Article XIV of the 1987 Constitution provides 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 education accessible to all. Section 2 (2) of the
same Article, likewise mandates the State to establish and maintain a system of free
‘education in the elementary and high school levels.

Barangay Mayag is five and a half kilometres away from Barangay Guinzadan
where the mother school is located. Before the establishment of the extension
School, students have to walk for almost an hour just so they could attend classes in
the nearest public high school resulting to either a lot of students who drop out in the
middle of the school year or students who do not Perform well. In addition,
Considering the terrain and the weather conditions in Mountain Province, students
and teachers alike find it very difficult to walk several kilometres to attend classes.
these were the reasons that an extension school had been established in June 2005.

For almost fourteen (14) years, Guinzadan National High School- Mayag
Extension existed as an extension school. Thus, its separation from the mother
‘school would definitely enhance its capability to fulfill its mandate and contribute to
the overall development of not only the residents and the area concerned but also
the province as a whole.

Considering the role of education in spurring development, enactment of this
Measure will definitely help liberate the residents of barangay Mayag and the
neighboring barangays from the shackles of poverty and ignorance by catering to
their educational needs.

In view of the foregoing consideration, approval of this tly urged.

MAXIMO, JR. Y. DALOG
