HOUSE BILL NO. 1309

Introduced by Honorable Imelda Quibranza-Dimaporo

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill aims to provide the youth of Lanao del Norte with access to
free and quality education through the establishment of a public secondary
school, to be located in Barangay Poblacion, Municipality of Tubod, Lanao
del Norte, to be known as Tubod Comprehensive National High School.

The Municipality of Tubod is the capital town of the Province of Lanao
del Norte. It is the seat of power in the province and home to the provincial
capitol and the Mindanao Civic Center. The town recently strengthened its
position as the business and government center of the province with the
constitution of Iligan City as an independent city.

With its status as the government and business center of Lanao del
Norte, it is ironic that the municipality of Tubod has no public secondary
school as of the present. High school students from the town have to endure
traveling daily to nearby municipalities to pursue secondary education, a
predicament which is detrimental to the well-being and safety of the
students and economically taxing for the parents.

The Province of Lanao del Norte prides itself as a major contributor to.
the over-all development of Mindanao. Hence, It is our hope that the youth of
Lanao del Norte, from the Municipality of Tubod in particular, shall be given
equal access to educational opportunities, which will allow them to complete
secondary education, at the least, with the necessary values, skills, and
competence to face an increasingly competitive job market and to contribute
greatly to the future of our local and regional communities.

On the basis of the foregoing considerations, the passage of this bill is
earnestly sought.
