EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to separate Upper Katungal National High School ~ Tacurong National High
School Annex located at Barangay Upper Katungal, Tacurong City, Province of Sultan
Kudarat, into a separate and distinct national high school from its mother school, Tacurong
National High School in Barangay New Isabela, Tacurong City, Province of Sultan Kudarat,
to be known as Upper Katungal National High School.

‘The Upper Katungal National High School ~ TNHS Annex is presently receiving its annual
budgetary support from its mother school, Tacurong National High School in order to sustain
its operations. However, due to incessant increase of students enrolled every year, the school
finds its very hard to manage the limited funds allocated from its mother school.

Itis in this context that the separation of Upper Katungal National High School - TNHS Annex
from the mother school, Tacurong National High School is needed. Anent, the separated high
school will now have the opportunity to receive its regular source of funds as it will be included
in the annual General Appropriations Act

‘The much-needed funds would certainly help the school in providing its students better quality
education thru the acquisition of more educational materials such as books, computers, hiring
of additional teachers and other important necessities and accord our young students the high
standard of education that they highly deserve.

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