EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill aims to provide the youth of Barangay Panalingaan in the Municipality of
Rizal, Province of Palawan, access to quality secondary education by converting the
Candawaga National High School ~ Panalingaan Extension into a separate and distinct
national high school from the Candawaga National High School, to be known as
PANALINGAAN NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL.

The Candawaga National High School ~ Panalingaan Extension was established on
June 2011. At present, Panalingaan Extension obtains its funding for operationg frbm itsy
mother school, the Candawaga National High School. The continuous increase in the number
of enrollees of Panalingaan Extension shows that students recognize the tremendous value of
education in shaping the future and alleviating poverty. Moreover, in order for the school to
function effectively and efficiently, a regular source of funds every school year must be
sufficient, It can only be realized by making it a distinct institution and funding therefor
included in the annual General Appropriations Act. Furthermore, the separation and
conversion into a national high school will improve the administration of both Panalingaan
Extension and Candawaga National High School in terms of addressing the needs of its
students.

‘The Panalingaan Extension High School was issued permit to operate by the Regional
Director of Region IV-B, Department of Education, pursuant to the request of local
government officials of Rizal, Palawan, after compliance with necessary requirements
therefor.

This bill is recommended for approval, consistent with Article XIV Section One of
the 1987 Constitution which mandates 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.”
