First Regular Session 
HOUSE BILL NO. 2785 
Introduced by REPRESENTATIVE JEYZEL VICTORIA C. YU 
2nd District, Zamboanga del Sur 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill seeks to separate Rebokon Agricultural Vocational High School 
- Bibilik Extension from its mother school, Rebokon Agricultural Vocational
High School, and to convert it into an independent national high school to be
known as Bibilik National High School.
Pursuant to Section 1, Article XIV of the 1987 Constitution, the State 
recognizes every citizen’s right to quality education and must take appropriate 
steps to ensure its accessibility at all levels.  Section 2 of the same Article 
further mandates the establishment and maintenance of a free public 
education system at the elementary and secondary levels. 
To give full effect to these constitutional provisions, the bill provides the 
inclusion of the Bibilik National High School’s operating funds in the annual 
General Appropriation Act, thereby securing its fiscal and administrative 
independence. In this manner, the school can effectively deliver accessible 
secondary education to all learners in Barangay Bibilik, without dependence 
on its former mother school. 
In view of the foregoing, the approval of this measure is earnestly 
sought.
