HOUSE BILL NO. 9571

Introduced by HONORABLE JANICE Z. SALIMBANGON

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to separate Tominjao National High School of Daanbantayan, Cebu
from Calape National High School, Daabantayan, Cebu. This is a refilled bill having been
filed during the 13" and 14" Congresses. At present, Tominjao National High School is an
extension campus of Calape National High School. The Tominjao National High School is
situated in a different barangay from that of Calape National High School.

Dr. Jose Rizal once said “the youth is the hope of our motherland” and I subscribed to
what our national hero said. I have strong belief that our youth given the right quality
education and inspiration will bring betterment to our country. A country with fully educated
people brings progress and development.

In order to achieve quality education, the school must be equipped with necessary
tools for it to be able provide good education to its students such as quality teachers, reliable
and efficient administrative and support staff and of course the readily available learning
materials and school buildings. The instructors must be highly motivated and room for
growth and improvement for them must be available. Regular source of funds every school
year must be adequate and sufficient to meet the school’s growing needs. This can be realized
if the Tominjao National High School will be converted into an independent national high
school. The consistent increase in the number of enrollees every year in Tominjao National
High School is indicative that many high school students in the municipality have considered
this school as their main campus. The growth of the populace in barangay Tominjao demands
that the Tominjao National High School be separated from the Calape National High School.

Hence, the approval of this Bill is eamestly recommended.
