HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

NINETEENTH CONGRESS 
First regular Session 
     HOUSE BILL NO.  
Introduced by Representative Divina Grace C. Yu 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
Universal access to quality education is not a privilege- it is a basic human right, 
regardless of gender, socio-economic background or circumstances. 
As sections 1 and 2 (1), Article 14 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution states: “The 
State shall protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality education at all 
levels and shall take appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all; and 
establish and maintain, and support a complete, adequate and integrated system of 
education relevant to the needs of the people and society” 
It is for this reason that this bill seeks to separate the existing Sapa Anding National 
High School- Ramon Magsaysay Extension located in Barangay Poblacion, 
Municipality of Ramon Magsaysay, Province of Zamboanga del Sur from Sapa 
Anding Agricultural vocational technical school to be known as Ramon Magsaysay 
National High School. 
The said school was established last September 21, 2006. It caters majority of 
Subanen members in the community.  
The prioritization in the allotment of funds directly from the National Government 
would greatly help to ensure that the growing needs of the students would be met, 
and that the high standard of education be provided to our deserving students. 
In view of the foregoing, immediate passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
