SCHOOL AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Article II, Section 17 of the 1987 Constitution provides that the State shall give 
priority to education. The Constitution further declares 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. Thus, the establishment, 
maintenance and support of a complete, adequate, and Integrated system of 
education relevant to the needs of the people and society Is a priority of the State.
The rapid growth of Pasig City's population calls for the upgrading of school 
facilities. The Pasig City Science High School receives an increasing amount of 
enrollees the past few years. Providing accessible and quality education to its students 
with limited facilities and resources has been a constant challenge for the school. Thus, 
it is imperative that our schools and its facilities be upgraded and modernized in 
accordance with the educational needs of the Filipino youth.
This bill seeks to convert the Pasic City Science High School in Barangay 
Maybunga, Pasig City into a national science high school to be known as the Pasig 
National Science High School. This will make specialized high school more accessible 
to the youth of Pasig City.
In view of the foregoing, this representation earnestly seeks your support for 
the approval of this bill.
