HOUSE BILL NO. 6896
Introdulced by Hen. WILTER YAP PALMA
EXPLANATORY NOTE
ln order to achieve quality education, a school must be equipped with the necessary
tools such as well-trained teachers, reliable and efficient administrative and support staff and
lastly, readily available learning materials as well as accessible school buildings. While this is
the ideal scenario for the education sector in the country, one cannot deny that there are still
schools who are still in dire need of help. As such, in line with our constitutional mandate of
providing  accessible  quality  education  for our citizens, this  bill  aims to  convert the  Natan
National  High School within the  Municipality of Diplahan,  Province of Zamboanga  Sibugay
into and independent national high school thus making it a distinct entity within the National
Budget.
At its very core, this bill aims to provide further aid to the Natan National High School
by providing for a steady stream adequate and sufficient source of funding that would meet
the   school's   growing   needs.   By   realizing   such   need,   the   school   would   be   able   to
accommodate more students without sacrificing its capability to provide quality education
not just for the students within the vicinity but also students residing in nearby barangays.
For these reasons one cannot deny that the prioritization in the allotment of the funds
directly from the National Government would be of great help towards addressing not only
the urgent needs of the students but also upholding a high standard of education that is well
deserved by the Sibugaynons.
