EXPLANATORY NOTE

It is our constitutional mandate as stated in Article XIV, Section 1 of the 1987 Philippine
Constitution to protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels and
take appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all.

Tagpangi National Highschool ~ Tuburan Annex was established in 2002 specifically for
the benefit of the young people of the 14 distant sitios in the 1st District of Cagayan de Oro
City.

While the existing facility is operational and is serving more than 200 enrollees this year,
the needs of a rapidly increasing number of students per year requiring immediate attention
cannot be acted on straightaway by it’s current administrators. They are dependent on the
judgement of their mother school, Tagpangi National High School. Often times, they are made
to wait. Not to mention the fact that the Tagpangi National High School officials may prioritize
the needs of the main school which in effect, may put f needs of the Tuburan Annex in the
back seat, thereby denying the students of the latter, thei right to quality education.

is of prime importance. It is the only way that we can prapare the next generation to face the

Making quality education available to the all childrei snes of their geographical site
challenges of life and equip them for a brighter future.

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