EXPLANATORY NOTE

Article XIV, Section 1 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution provides, to wit : "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."

As guardian of this constitutional mandate, the goverment should provide
opportunities to its people in savouring quality education. This Bill seeking the
separation of the Igbaras National High School - Alameda Extension in barangay
Alameda, Municipality of Igbaras, converting it into an independent High School
to be known as Alameda National High School would pave the way to answer the
demands and clamors of students for better opportunities and greater assurance
of quality education.

The independence of Igbaras National High School ~ Alameda Extension from
Igbaras National High School would mean greater allocation of resources for the
said school resulting to improved facilities, higher quality education and bigger
opportunities to more people in Alameda, Igbaras, lloilo and adjacent barangays,
which is the very purpose of the above cited constitutional mandate.
