EXPLANATORY NOTE
Article II, Section 17 of the 1987 Constitution provides that the State shall give 
priority to education. The Constitution further declares 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. Thus, the establishment, 
maintenance and support of a complete, adequate, and integrated system of 
education relevant to the needs of the people and society is a priority of the State.
This bill seeks to separate the Hapid National High School Annex in Barangay 
Bimpal, Municipality of Lamut, Ifugao from its mother school, Hapid National High 
School, and convert it into an independent National High School to be known as the 
Bimpal National High School. This bill, if passed into law, will ensure that the youth in 
the municipality of Lamut is provided with accessible and quality education.
In view of the foregoing, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
