EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to establish a secondary science school in Balanga City, Province
of Bataan, to be known as the Balanga City National Science High School.

Balanga City, recently recognized by UNESCO as having the first Learning City in
the Philippines, is equipped and capable to house, among others, a science high school as
proposed. As a province more than ready and willing to help in nation building through
the training of exceptional populaces, it is the perfect location for a new science high
school.

It is envisioned that the Balanga City National Science High School will be a
national high school that caters to the needs not only of the city, but all deserving
students from the province and across the nation. Complimenting other educational
institutions in the City of Balanga, it shall develop students with first class training and
background in the sciences who are intended to grow into contributing members of
society through a specially designed secondary education curriculum.

Support for this bill is thereby earnestly requested from my colleagues,

mand
