SIXTEENTH CONGRESS.
First Regular Session

HOUSE BILLNO.__ 2885

Introduced by:
REP. FRANCISCO T. MATUGAS
1S" District, Surigao del Norte (Siargao Island)

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks the separation of the Gen. Luna National High School —
Suyangan Annex in Barangay Suyangan, Municipality of Gen. Luna, Province
of Surigao del Norte from its mother school, the Gen. Luna National High
School.

The separation and conversion of the said annex high school into
an independent national high school is expected to improve its
administrative and financial capacity to deliver uncompromised
instruction to the concerned students. As it manages its own educational
funds, instructional supervision and coaching will be enhanced thereby
contributing significantly to the student's success in the learning plan.

This legislation will also be in support to the Kto12 Program of the
Department of Education as this measure will effectively implement a
career and education system through academic integration in
preparation for the implementation of a senior high school.

As to the distance to the mother school, the Suyangan Annex
campus is located approximately 10.06 nautical miles south of Gen.
Luna. This distance poses danger to the faculty and staff who would
have to cross the ocean particularly during inclement weather.

Pursuant to the Constitution and in consonance with Republic Act

6655 otherwise known as the Free Secondary Act and for the foregoing
reasons, approval of this bill is earnestly sought

FRANCISCO T. MATUGAS
