EXPLANATORY NOTE
This bill seeks to convert the Marikina Science High School into a National Science
High School to be known as Marikina National Science High School and Appropriating Funds
Therefor.
Before Marikina Science High School was identified as one of the best educational
institutions in the City of Marikina, it stems its roots from 1947 and had undergone several
educational transformations: On July 18, 1947, Marikina Junior High School was established
to accelerate higher education in Marikina after World War 11. Since the school started offering
the full four-year secondary general course, the school was renamed as Marikina High School.
On July 18, 1952, the school was once again renamed to Leodegario Victorino Memorial High
School in honor of the first Marikefio of being a Division Superintendent of Schools in the
province of Rizal. Then on July 1, 1957, the school was converted into an Industrial School of
Arts and Trades in virtue of Republic Act No. 1586, but with the Malacafiang's approval, the
school was eventually renamed as Marikina Institute of Science and Technology (MIST).
Marikina Science High School was the high school department of MIST. On November
8, 2001, the secondary level officially became an independent high school in virtue of Local
Resolution No.118, series of 2001, approved and signed by then Secretary of Education.
Marikina Science High School has been producing intellectual and courteous students
for years who are now establishing respectable titles and careers, and likewise contributing to
the development and growth of the country. Unfortunately, Marikina Science High School
can  no  longer  meet  the  needs  of the  school,  the  persormel  and  the  students  given  the
insufficiency in budget.  Therefore,  this bill seeks to  receive  assistance  from the national
government  by  including  Marikina  Science  High  School  in  its  armual  budget  to  ensure
continuity in providing quality education, not just in the city of Marikina but in the entire
country.


We  must  continue  to  uphold  the  constitution  in  prioritizing  education  to  foster
patriotism and nationalism, accelerate social progress, and promote total human liberation
and development.  Therefore, passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
