House Bill No,__ 2835

Introduced by HON. VICENTE F. BELMONTE, JR.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill pursues to separate the Acelo Badelles Memorial High School
— Abuno Annex (ABMHS -Abuno Annex) situated in Barangay Abuno, Tligan
City, from its mother or administrative school, the Acelo Badelles Memorial
High School (ABMHS), situated in Barangay Tipanoy, Iligan City, and
converting it from a memorial annex school into an independent national high
school to be known as the Abuno National High School (ANHS).

The passage of this proposed measure is intended to address the very
need for a more functional, independent and financially stable secondary
school and to promote fair accessibility and quality education for all secondary
students in the above-mentioned barangay and its adjacent barangays. Indeed,
accessibility to quality education that extends to the poorest of the poor has
been one of the national government's thrusts in eradicating poverty as it is

henceforth elucidated by way of the passage of this bill.

This bill has already gained approval of the Committee on Basic
Education and Culture as House Bill No. 3567 during the Fifteenth (15")
Congress



In light of the foregoing, in cognizance of the policy of the State to
accessible and quality education for all its citizens, this representation

respectfully seeks the immediate approval of this earnest bill.

REP. VICENTE F, RELMONTE, JR.
