EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Bill seeks to established the Golden Valley National High School in Barangay Golden
Valley Municipality of Mabini, Compostela Valley Province to be known as Golden Valley
National High School.

Golden Valley is a flourishing barangay with a significant population. Apart from
Anitapan, Mabini, Compostela Valley Province, it has a population of 6,100 residents pursuant
to 2009 census conducted by the National Statistics Office. Each household has a corresponding
number of students in both levels. Every year, the Panamin Elementary School produces more
than 60 graduates, and majority of the enrolled in Anitapan National High School which is Five
(5) kilometres away from the barangay Golden Valley and some are enrolled in Elizalde National
High School which is also 16 kilometers away from barangay Golden Valley.

Aside from Panamin Elementary School, the barangay has also another neighbouring
feeder school, the Candinuyan Elementary School that also produces more 50 graduates every
year.

Nowadays, education really means more expenses which include school fees,
allowances and fare. Moreover , most of the people now undergo economic instability, in which
they could hardly afford to send the children to school in far place.

With the increasing needs of the growing population to become part of an educated
society and in facing the challenges of the world today, the creation of a secondary institution
in prospective places like Golden Valley is really of great value not only to its residents but also
to the neighbourhood. Its importance is further underscored by the fact that people will have
greater access and lesser financial requirement due to its distance. Therefore, there is a
demand for an establishment of High School in Barangay Golden Valley.

In view thereof, the approval of this bill is earnestly recommended.
