EIGHTEENTH CONGRESS 
Second Regular Session 
House Bill No. _____ 
Introduced by Representative SOLOMON R. CHUNGALAO 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
It is 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 rice 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 
their mother schools, 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.  
This bill seeks to separate the Caragasan Elementary School Annex from its mother school, 
Caragasan Elementary School, and convert it into an independent elementary school to be known 
as Dimas Ogano Elementary. In recognition to the first barangay captain of barangay Caragasan 
who donated the entire lot where the existing Caragasan Elementary School Annex is located, the 
separation and conversion of such school shall recognize Mr. Ogano’s generosity, altruism and 
priceless contribution to the education of the people of the eastern part of the Ifugao province. In 
addition, the renaming of the school will give it a sense of history and significance.  
In view of the foregoing, passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
