HOUSE BILL NO,

Introduced by HON. LORNA P. BAUTISTA-BANDIGAN

This Bill seeks the establishment of the Lacaron National High School vice the
Fishing Village Comprehensive National High School in Barangay Lacaron, the latter
of which has been existing for the past five years as an extension of a main campus
bearing the same name and located in Malita, Davao Occidental. Fishing Village
Comprehensive National High School, then known as Benjamin V. Bautista Special
High School, was opened in AY 2012-2013 and serve Grades 7 to 10 and has a
population of 125 students. There are five regular/permanent teachers to include the
Teacher-in-Charge. If the trend enrollment will not change, it is student population.

Distance of the proposed school is six kilometers from the poblacion or the
town center. Because the topographical condition of the site is plain, the mode of
transportation {s single motorcycle, habal-habal, bus and tricycle. Nearest
elementary schools serving as feeder and their distance from the proposed site are
Lacaron Elementary School, 200 meters; Procopio A. Majellano Sr. Elementary
School, 2.8 k.m., and Lafeud Elementary School, 3 kilometers.

Farming, fishing, livestock-raising, and backyard gardening are the means by
which majority of the residents are eking out their every day living. Thus, while they
want their children to reach higher education, the parents are hard put to provide
them with the essentials needed in the pursuit of education. One of the problems they
are faced with is the high cost of transportation. Six kilometers walking to school and
six kilometers going back home discourage most students to continue with their
studies. Add to these their lack of nutritious food that will make them strong enough
to make such a long, tedious travel for five days a week.

One of the parents donated 1.2291 hectare of his land with which to set up the
Lacaron National High School. When the school is already, it is envisioned that four
makeshift classrooms will be initially constructed to accommodate the number of
incoming students,

For the abovementioned reasons the passage of this Bill is earnestly sought.
