‘AN ACT SEPARATING THE INAGAWAN NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL-ANNEX IN SITIO
TAGBARUNGIS, BARANGAY INAGAWAN-SUB, PUERTO PRINCESA CITY FROM THE
INAGAWAN NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL, CONVERTING IT INTO AN INDEPENDENT NATIONAL
HIGH SCHOOL TO BE KNOWN AS TAGBARUNGIS NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL AND
APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert the Inagawan National High School-Annex located in Sitio
Tagbarungis, Barangay Inagawan-Sub, City of Puerto Princesa into an independent national
high school to be known as Tagbarungis National High School.

Currently, the Inagawan National High School-Annex located in SitioTagbarungis, Barangay
Inagawan, City of Puerto Princesa is operating under the auspices of its mother school which
is the Inagawan National High School. Its funding requirement for its continuous operation is
likewise provided by its mother unit. A former part of lwahig Penal Farm reservation, Sitio
Tagbarungis is a resettlement area for informal settlers and landless families from other
barangays of Puerto Princesa, the weight of operating an annex provides tremendous
challenges.

The constant increase of enrollees in both campuses ensures the effectivity of awareness
campaigns to put all kids to school, plus the implementation of K-12 where additional two
years of senior high school adds up to the challenges the school faces,

In order for the school to deliver its mandate and provide the basic education for all, a
regular source of funds for every school year must be in place, thus, it can only be realized
through the conversion of Inagawan National High School-Annex to Tagbarungis National
High School which is distinct and separate from its mother unit, the Inagawan National High
School

To carry out the constitutionally protected rights on equal access to quality education, it is
the mandate of the government to ensure that educational institutions are established to
cater to the needs of the growing population.


‘As a mandated organ of the government to enact and approve taws, the approval of this
measure is hereby earnestly sought.
