HOUSE BILL NO. 5550

Introduced by Representative ALLEN JESSE C. MANGAOANG

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to separate the Camalog National High School- Malagnat Extension in
Barangay Malagnat, Municipality of Pinukpuk, Province of Kalinga from its mother school the
Camalog National High School and convert it into a separate and independent national high school to
be known as Malagnat National High School.

Barangay Malagnat is one of the largest barangays in the Municipality of Pinukpuk in terms
of land area and population. Students from Barangay Malagnat and its nearby barangays who cannot
afford to pay the tuition and miscellaneous fees in the private school located in Junction Pinukpuk
have to hike three to six hours to reach the nearest public high school. Due to poverty and the far
distance from the nearest public high school, many have opted to drop out from high school. The
opening of the Malagnat Extension class in 2011 gave the indigent students and the out-of-school
youths the chance to finish secondary education.

With the conversion of Camalog National High School- Malagnat Extension into an
independent national high school, the capability of the school as catalyst of change will be boosted. It
is a generally accepted fact that better accessibility to education will not only improve the economic
life of the people but even their social and political conditions. As the government is brought closer to
the people in this part of the country, our children are also drawn further away from the dangerous
clutches of insurgency, juvenile delinquency, crimes, ignorance and poverty.

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