EXPLANATORY NOTE
14
15       Consistent with AIlicle XIV, Section  1, of the Philippine Constitution which states
+6      that "The state shall protect and promote the right of all citizjens to quality education at
17       all levels  and shall take appropriate steps to make such etlucation accessible to all,"
18      this  bill  seeks  the  nationalization  of the  Casoon  High  School  (Monkayo  National
19      High school Annex) in Barangay casoon, Monkayo, Davao De oro province.
20
21                    Barangay   Casoon   is   about  eight  kilometers  from  the  town   proper.   Its
22      distance from the nearest secondary school makes it hard for aspiring students to
23       enroll and sustain their studies.
24
25                   With the concerted effort of the residents, the local government units and the
26      Department  of Education,  however,  the  Casoon  High  School  as  an  annex  of the
27      Monkayo National High  School was established  in 2005. Through a Memorandum
28      of Agreement, the mother school, the LGUs, benefactors and the parents/guardians
29      pledged that they will continuously provide financial suppol.t to the high school until
30      it is nationalized. Two hectares of land were donated in favor of the school. It was
31       also certified that instructional materials, classrooms, equipment and other teaching
32      facilities  are available for use.  The  required  mass  of students  and  the number  of
33       teaching  staff were  also  adequately  met  to  warrant  its  establishment.  AIL  other
34      documentary requirements were satisfied and submitted.
35
36                   Everything is therefore in place for the smooth operation of the educational
37      institution.   The   only   wanting   aspect   is   the   certainty   of   regular   budgetary
38      appropriations  from  the  State  to  meet  the  annual  financial  needs  of the  school,
39      hence, the need for the passage of this proposal.
40
41                    Approval of this bill is respectfully sought.
