HOUSE BILL NO.

Introduced by Hon, Frederick F. Abueg

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill aims to provide the youth of Barangay Mainit in the Municipality of
Brooke's Point, Province of Palawan, access to quality secondary education by converting the
Brooke's Point National High School ~ Mainit Annex into a separate and distinct national
high school from the Brooke’s Point National High School, to be known as MAINIT
NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL,

The Brooke’s Point National High School — Mainit Annex obtains its funding for
‘operations from its mother school, the Brooke’s Point National High School. The constant
increase in the number of enrollees of Mainit Annex shows that students recognize the
tremendous value of education in shaping the future and alleviating poverty, Moreover, in
order for the school to function effectively and efficiently, a regular source of funds every
school year must be sufficient, It can only be realized by making it a distinct institution and
funding therefor included in the annual General Appropriations Act. Furthermore, the
separation and conversion into a national high school will improve the administration of both!
Mainit Annex and Brooke’s Point National High School in terms of addressing the needs of
its students.

The Mainit Annex High School was issued permit to operate by the Regional Director
of Region IV-B, Department of Education, pursuant to the request of local government
officials of Brooke’s Point, Palawan, after compliance with necessary requirements therefor.

This bill is recommended for approval, consistent with Article XIV Section One of
the 1987 Constitution which mandates 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.”

In accordance with the State’s policy of providing quality education for its citizens,

the approval of this bill is earnestly recommended.
