HOUSE BILL NO. 6501 
introduced by Representative MANUEL S. AGYAO 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill seeks to separate the Kalinga National High School- Salegseg Annex in Barangay 
Salegseg in the Municipality of Balbalan, Province of Kalinga, from its mother school the Kalinga 
National lligh School and convert it into a separate and independent national high school to be 
known as the Balbalan National High School. 
Barangay Salegseg, the capital of the Municipality ofBalbalan, has only one private school 
and no public high school. The nearest public high school is the Balbalan Agro-lndustrial High 
School in Barangay Balantoy which is quite far from the Poblacion. Students from Poblaeion 
Salcgseg and Barangays Pantikian, Mabaea and Gawaan who cannot afford to pay the tuition and 
miscellaneous fees of the private high school, have to hike rugged roads and terrains for six to four 
hours to reach the Balbalan Agro Industrial High School. Rides are rare and even costly for their 
meager budget. Due to the far distance, many students from these barangays have dropped out from 
high school and opted to work in farms or community mines. Kalinga National High Schooi-
Salegseg Annex was then opened to accommodate these indigent students. Basing on the number of 
enrollees each year since its opening, there is sustainability in terms of clientele size with an 
indication that it will increase in number in the coming years. In as much as many srudents and 
drop-outs have expressed their desires to enroll and finish secondary education in this annex school, 
it is now the clamor of the community and the officialdom of Balbalan to separate Salegseg Annex 
and become an independent national high school to be known as the Balbalan National High 
School. It is projected that Salegseg extension operating independently from the mother school will 
serve as an effective tool in promoting quality education and will consequently improve the 
economic and social cond.itions of the people in this part of the country. 
In view of the foregoing, passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
