EXPLANATORY NOTE

‘This bill seeks to convert the Gov. Alfredo Abueg Sr. National Technology afd Vocatidnal
Memorial High School ~ Aribungos Extension located in Barangay Aribungos, Municipality of
Brooke’s Point, Province of Palawan, into a separate and distinct national high school from the Gov.
Alfredo Abueg Sr. National Technology and Vocational Memorial High School, to be known as
INIL U. TAHA MEMORIAL NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

The Gov. Alfredo Abueg Sr. National Technology and Vocational Memorial High School ~
Aribungos Extension was established on June 15, 2010. It obtains its funding for operations from its
mother school, the Gov, Alfredo Abueg Sr, National Technology and Vocational Memorial High
School. The continuous increase in the number of enrollees of Aribungos Extension 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 Aribungos Extension
and Gov. Alfredo Abueg Sr. National Technology and Vocational Memorial High School in terms of

addressing the needs of its students. "

* ‘

The Aribungos Extension 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.
