HOUSE BILL No.,

Explanatory Note

There are a lot of reasons why education is considered a must or a
requisite for a stable life and secure future. Education makes a person self-
dependent making him wiser to make his own decisions. It affords the individual
to know his basic rights and obligations not only as a human being but a citizen
as well. It also opens and gives everyone equal opportunities for employment. It
turns dreams into reality, so to speak.

Indeed, there is no doubt that enormous benefits can be derived from
having a good quality education. In fact, no less than our Constitution bestows
paramount consideration to education.

In Article II, Section 17 of the Constitution, it provides:

“Section 17. The State shall give priority to education, science and
technology, arts, culture, and sports to foster patriotism and nationalism,
accelerate social progress, and promote total human liberation and
development. (Emphasis Supplied)

Further, under Article XIV, Section 1 of the Constitution, it states:
Section 1. The State shall m the ri f all

to quality education at all levels, and shall take appropriate steps to
make such education accessible to all. (Emphasis Supplied)


In consonance with the above mentioned constitutional mandate, this
measure seeks the establishment of the President Corazon “Cory” C. Aquino
National High School in Barangay 184, Zone 19, Maricaban, City of Pasay. The
need to create and establish the said national high school in the heavily
populated Barangay 184, Zone 19, would cater to the demands and needs of
young people of Pasay City for quality education in view of the growing
population, economy and development in the city.

Further, this is a re-filed measure from the 16" Congress.
In view of the foregoing, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought for.
