Introduced by Representative ERIC GO YAP 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
The 1987 Constitution highlights the fundamental right of its citizens to education—
ensuring that it must be accessible on all levels. It is in this regard that the state must 
be able to establish a number of competent and independent schools, even in far-flung 
areas.  
The Department of Education (DepEd) Order No. 40, Series of 2014 provides for the 
Revised 
Guidelines 
on 
the 
Establishment, 
Merging, 
Conversion, 
and 
Naming/Renaming of Public Schools, and Separation of School Annexes in Basic 
Education. The Benguet National High School - Bineng Annex has satisfactorily 
complied with the requirements provided therein, particularly in Part VI, Section B.4, 
Par (a)—allowing the conversion of a high school classified into a non-implementing 
unit to an implementing one.   
Hence, this bill seeks to convert the Benguet National High School - Bineng Annex in 
Barangay Bineng, Municipality of La Trinidad, Benguet into an independent National 
High School to be known as the Bineng National High School. 
Becoming independent educational institution, the Bineng National High School will 
now gain financial independence ensuring its liberal and centralized implementation 
of projects and programs that are highly beneficial to the quality of education of the 
secondary students in Benguet, particularly those in Barangay Bineng in the 
municipality of La Trinidad. 
In view of the foregoing, approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
