EXPLANATORYNOTE 
The Polangui General Comprehensive High School (PGCHS)-Balogo Extension in 
Barangay Balogo, Municipality of Oas, Province of Albay has been under the 
administration and supervision of the Polangui General Comprehensive High School in 
Polangui, Province of Albay. Situated in another municipality, the PGCHS-Balogo 
Extension has functioned as an annex of the PGCHS through off-site coordination. 
Despite its successes, the fate of the PGCHS-Balogo Extension remains tied to its 
mother unit--the PGCHS. To facilitate the growing needs of its students, it is high time 
that the teachers and staff of the PGCHS-Balogo Extension cease the inconvenient 
practice of having to travel more than 10 kilometers to process transaction with its 
mother unit in Polangui. 
This representation has deemed it imperative that the PGCHS-Balogo Extension be 
granted its own charter to enable fiscal and academic autonomy in the pursuit of its 
own mandate and chart its own destiny and administration. Through Resolution No. 
104, S. 95. and Resolution No. 1 S.99 of the Local Government of Oas and the 
Parents-Teachers Association (PTA) of the PGCHS-Balogo Extension, respectively, they 
have endorsed the creation of the Balogo National High School as a separate and 
distinct learning institution that would be responsive to the needs of its resident 
students , 
Hence, this bill proposes the establishment of a n  autonomous and self-governing 
institution to be known as the Balogo National High School in Balago, Oas to replace 
the existing PGCHS-Balogo Extension. 
In view of the forgoing, immediate passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
