EXPLANATORY NOTE 
While the State has been providing free elementary and secondary education, this public 
service does not reach everyone. More concrete steps must be taken so that this 
Constitutionally mandated service will reach more children. 
In the case of Barangay San Miguel in Maramag, Bukidnon, the children from this and 
many other barangays around it have been going to school at an annex building of the 
Bukidnon National School of Home Industries since 2004. The students of the 
aforementioned annex already exceeded its capacity with 1,215 students and only 30 
teachers. It has become necessary to establish a new high school in the said barangay and 
to put into practice the establishment and maintenance of a system of free public education 
in the elementary and high school levels for the children living there as enshrined in Section 
2, Article XIV of the 1987 Constitution. 
Thus, approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
