HOUSE BILL NO. 1545

Introduced by Hon. Frederick F. Abueg

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill was previously filed as House Bill No. 1568 in the 16" Congress and
was referred to the House Committee on Basic Education and Culture.

This bill seeks to convert Southern Bataraza National High School — Buliluyan
Annex located in Barangay Buliluyan, Municipality of Bataraza, Province of Palawan,
into a separate and distinct national high school from the Southern Bataraza National
High School, to be known as BULILUYAN NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL.

The Southern Bataraza National High School — Buliluyan Annex presently
obtains its funding for operations from its mother school, the Southern Bataraza
National High School. The steady enrollment growth of Southern Bataraza National
High School — Buliluyan Annex shows that students recognize the tremendous value
of education in shaping the future and alleviating poverty, Moreover, in order for the
school to function effectively and efficiently, a regular source of funds every school
year must be sufficient. It can only be realized by making it a distinct institution and
funding therefor included in the annual General Appropriations Act. Furthermore, the
separation and conversion into a national high school will improve the administration
of both Buliluyan Annex and Southern Bataraza National High School in terms of
addressing the needs of its students.

The Buliluyan Annex High School was issued permit to operate by the
Regional Director of Region IV-B, Department of Education, pursuant to the request
of local government officials of Bataraza, Palawan, after compliance with necessary
requirements therefor.

This bill is recommended for approval, consistent with Article XTV Section


One of the 1987 Constitution which mandates 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.”

In accordance with the State's policy of providing quality education for its
citizens, the approval of this bill is earnestly recommended.
