House Bill No.

Introduced by HON. VINCENT FRANCO D. FRASCO.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to separate the Liloan National High School — Poblacion Annex
from its mother school, the Arcelo Memorial National High School, in Barangay San
Vicente, Municipality of Liloan, Province of Cebu and convert the annex school into an
independent and distinct national high school to make it an implementing school with
fiscal autonomy

It is the responsibility of the State to provide excellent education that is accessible
to the society. Article XIV Section of the Constitution mandates that “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.” It is in this context that the
separation of Liloan National High School — Annex from the mother school, Arcelo
Memorial National High School is needed. Anent, the separated high school will now
have the opportunity to receive its regular source of funds as it will be included in the
annual General Appropriations Act.

Furthermore, as an independent and distinct learning organization, the Liloan
National High School would enable its administration to be more susceptible to the needs
of its local students as well as to enhance the delivery of basic education and boost the
quality of education it offers.

On the basis of the abovementioned grounds, the passage of this bill is earnestly
sought.
