HOUSE BILL NO.

Introduced by Representative GENARO M. ALVAREZ, JR.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Bill seeks the separation of Florentino Galang, Sr. National High School -
Orong Annex from the Florentino Galang, Sr. National High School and the
conversion of the said Annex into an independent national high school recognized as
Orong National High School, a separate and distinct entity in the National Budget.

The said Annex, as an extension of Florentino Galang, Sr. National High
School, has been in existence and operation for eleven (11) school years now. The
present student population is rapidly increasing every year as the school records
show, hence the need for more teachers and full time administrator to closely
oversee the school’s programs and activities. At present there are 527 enrolled
students, 13 teachers and 9 classrooms.

Florentino Galang, Sr. National High School cannot accommodate all that is
necessary through its budget coming from the National Government. Even with the
assistance from the Local Government, personnel and finances are still inadequate
to accommodate the needs of the said Annex. And this being situated far from the
city proper and mother school, there is a need to become an independent national
high school. Barangay Orong has now a population of 8,943. Hence, the separation
and conversion of the Florentino Galang, Sr. National High School - Orong Annex is
sought.

The separation and conversion of Florentino Galang, Sr. National High School
~ Orong Annex will ensure convenience, an opportunity to a proper and quality
education and a conducive learning environment to the youth of Barangay Orong
and other nearby communities.
