EXPLANATORY NOTE
Article II, Section 17 of the 1987 Constitution provides that the State shall 
give priority to education. The Constitution further declares that the State shall 
protect and promote the right of all citizens to quaiity education at ail levels and 
shall take appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all. Thus, the 
establishment, maintenance and support of a complete, adequate, and integrated 
system of education relevant to the needs of the people and society is a priority of 
the State.
The Muntinlupa National High Schooi NBP Annex was estabiished to offer 
education to the relocated youths that resettled in a 50-hectare lot inside the 
Nationai penitentiary in Muntinlupa. Today, the Muntinlupa National High School 
Annex reports that the number of enrollees it receives have been increasing the past 
few years. Providing accessible and quality education to its students with iimited 
facilities and resources has been a challenge for the school. Thus, it is imperative 
that we take steps to upgrade Phiiippine schools and its facilities in accordance with 
the educational needs of the Filipino youth.
To address this problem, this biil seeks to convert the Muntinlupa National 
High School NBP Annex into an independent high school to be known as the 
Poblacion National High Schooi.
In view of the foregoing, this representation earnestiy seeks your support for 
the approvai of this biii.
