House Bill No. 2858

Introduced by Representative SOLOMON R. CHUNGALAO

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to separate the Hapid National High School Annex in Barangay Bimpal,
Municipality of Lamut, Province of Ifugao, from Hapid National High School, and convert it into
an independent national high school to be known as Bimpal National High School.

eis a Constitutional mandate 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. Relative provision also directs the State to establish and maintain a system of free public
education in the elementary and high school levels.

Known as a mountainous province, and home of the famous tice terraces, Ifugao is expected to
have a rugged terrain which challenges people to travel from one place to another. Teaching and
non-teaching personnel of an educational institution find it very difficult to travel from their
mother school to its extension or annex school. Furthermore, as these are fiscally dependent to
the mother school, extension schools are normally the second priority in terms of budget and
physical development. These circumstances constrain a school to effectively deliver its supposed
objectives of fulfilling the right to quality and accessible education of the Ifugao people.

In view of the foregoing, passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
