EXPLANATORY NOTE

The state of secondary education in Besigan, Cagayan de Oro City has high and low

points. Its premier public school, Besigan National High School, is attended by a significant
umber of students from First to Fourth Year. In the school's ten years of existence, it has
provided education to a significant number of the youth in the Barangay. thus fuelling their
dreams and providing them with a better chance for the future. Its lowest point comes in the
form of the deplorable condition of the facilities that can be found in the makeshift school. At
present, the students attend classes held at the Barangay Hall. The student population should
have been greater, if it were not for the serious inconvenience posed by the absence of
classrooms and other facilities.

Besigan National High School is currently tied with Taglimao National High School

Unfortunately for the students of Besigan, Taglimao National High School is located a good sixty
five kilometers from Besigan. The significant distance has been truly unfair to the Besigan
students and expecting them to travel that distance daily is unrealistic, especially in the light of
the present financial difficulties experienced by most Filipinos.

The donation of a 2.6 hectare land by a philanthropic citizen for the construction of a

proper school has brought the students’ dream to near fruition. THe building of classrooms and

the provision of functional educational fa

ies are all that is left foy the school to come to life.

This bill, then, seeks the separation of Besigan National High School from Taglimao

hurdles in the education of Besigan’s youth.

National High School. Granting the school its independence is a to eliminating the

In view thereof, the approval of this bill is earnestly sought!
