EXPLANATORY NOTE
Article II, Section 13 of the 1987 Constitution provides that, "the State 
recognizes the vita! roie of the youth in nation building and shall promote and protect 
their physical moral spiritual^ intellectual and social well-being." Article XIV, Section 1 
the Constitution 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."
The Municipality of Labangan is a third-class municipality in the Province of 
Zamboanga del Sur. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 44,262 people. 
This represented 4.21% of the total population of Zamboanga del Sur province, or 
1.14% of the overall population of the Zamboanga Peninsula region.
Pursuant to the aforementioned constitutional mandate, this bill proposes to 
establish a Philippine Science High School in the Municipality of Labangan, Province of 
Zamboanga del Sur to stimulate optimistic drive among students who have interest in 
the field of science and technology. Likewise, to maintain, support a complete, 
adequate, and integrated system of education that is relevant to the needs of the 
people and society. This would ensure that the youth of Zamboanga del Sur and 
neighboring provinces are provided with accessible and quality education.
In view of the foregoing, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
