EXPLANATORY NOTE

The people of Mountain Province have always been longing that a State University be
established right at their doorstep. That hope was finally realized when then President
Benigno S. Aquino III approved into law Republic Act 10583 on May 24, 2013 entitled,
AN ACT CONVERTING THE MOUNTAIN PROVINCE STATE POLYTECHNIC
COLLEGE IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF BONTOC, MOUNTAIN PROVINCE INTO A
STATE UNIVERSITY TO BE KNOWN AS MOUNTAIN PROVINCE STATE
UNIVERSITY, WITH CAMPUSES IN THE MUNICIPALITIES OF TADIAN, BAUKO,
PARACELIS AND BARLIG, ALL LOCATED IN MOUNATIN PROVINCE AND
APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFORE.

In a report on the status of implementation of recent legislations establishing or
converting colleges into state universities, the Commission on Higher Education
(CHED) cited: “Mountain Province State Polytechnic College was not able to have
substantial compliance with the requirements of CHED requirements before the January
1, 2016 deadline."

Whereupon this humble representation was prevailed to file an amendatory bill to RA
10583 extending the deadline of the compliance of MPSPC with the requirements of the
Commission on Higher Education

This amendatory bill seeks to recalibrate the period of compliance by the college as far
as operational requirements for a university is concerned provided under Sec. 24 of RA
10583. The adjustment of the time frame compliance will also ensure and give more
time for the college to substantially comply with the requirements of CHED.

In view of the foregoing, approval of the bill is earnestly sought.
