AN ACT SEPARATING THE TOMINJAO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL IN
‘THE MUNICIPALITY OF DAANBANTAYAN, PROVINCE OF CEBU FROM
THE CALAPE NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL, MUNICIPALITY OF
DAANBATAYAN, PROVINCE OF CEBU, CONVERTING IT INTO AN

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to separate Tominjao National High School of
Daanbantayan, Cebu from Calape National High School, Daabantayan, Cebu.
This is a refilled bill having been filed during the 13" and 14" Congresses. At
present, Tominjao National High School is an extension campus of Calape
National High School. The Tominjao National High School is situated in a
different barangay from that of Calape National High School.

Dr. Jose Rizal once said, "the youth is the hope of our motherland" and |
subscribed to what our national hero said. I have strong belief that our youth
given the right quality education and inspiration will bring betterment to our
country. A country with fully educated people brings progress and
development.

In order to achieve quality education, the school must be equipped with
necessary tools for it to be able provide good education to its students such as
quality teachers, reliable and efficient administrative and support staff and of
course the readily available learning materials and school buildings. The
instructors must be highly motivated and room for growth and improvement
for them must be available. Regular source of funds every school year must be
adequate and sufficient to meet the school's growing needs. This can be
realized if the Tominjao National High School will be converted into an
independent national high school.

The consistent increase in the number of enrollees every year in


Tominjao National High School is indicative that many high school students
in the municipality have considered this school as their main campus. The
growth of the populace in barangay Tominjao demands that the Tominjao
National High School be separated from the Calape National High School.

Hence, the approval of this Bill is earnestly recommended.
