EXPLANATORY NOTE
This bill seeks to separate the Don Pablo Lorenzo Memorial High School - Tumaga
Annex in Barangay Tumaga, Zamboanga City from its mother school Don Pablo
Lorenzo  Memorial  High  School  and  convert  and  rename  it  into  a  separate  and
independent national high school to be known as Tumaga National High School.
The conversion addresses the pressing issue of a growing student population. Don
Pablo Lorenzo Annex Hich School has experienced a steady increase in eurollment
over the  years,  resulting  in  overcrowded  classrooms  and  strained resources.  By
establishing   Tumaga   National   High   School   as   an   independent   entity,   the
administration can better manage the influx of students and ensure that each learner
receives adequate attention and resources for their education. Improved accessibility
to education will not only improve the economic life of the people but also their
social and political conditions. This will also ensure that our children are drawn away
from the perils of ignorance, crimes, juvenile delinquency, early pregnancy and other
societal problems caused by educational deficiency.
In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this bill is respectfully sought.
