EXPLANATORY NOTE

We Filipinos have a deep regard for education which we view as a primary avenue for
our children to contribute meaningfully in nation building. Hence, the state has taken an active
interest in ensuring that they realize their full potentials, safeguarding their right to quality and
affordable education relevant to the needs of today’s society. In many rural barangays parents
make tremendous sacrifices in order to provide education for their children, some even go to
the extent of working together with local and community stakeholders to build and establish
schools for their children to ensure that they are not burdened from hiking several kilometres
to and from the central barangay in order to attend school.

Malinao National High School-Pinamulaan Annex is a concrete example of a schoo! built
and established through “Bayanihan”. It initially operated in 2009 with fifty (50) pioneering first.
year students using a single classroom building made of light materials. Through the years the
number of enrolees grew. Aside from graduates of Pinamulaan Elementary School, new
graduates from nearby Capayangan Elementary School, Thailand Elementary School, Busaon
Elementary School and Pantar Elementary School flocked to Pinamulaan High School Annex.
The school now finds itself ill-equipped to meet the growing number of students.

With the passage of this Bill, Pinamulaan High School Annex would be able to continue
its mission of protecting and promoting the rights of every child in Baranagy Pinamulaan and
nearby baranagys to quality, equitable, culture-based and complete basic education thus
ensuring the development of the basic core values of Maka-Diyos, Maka-Tao, Makakalikasan,

and Makabansa.

Hence the passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
