AN ACT ESTABLISHING A NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL IN 
BARANGAY SAN ISIDRO, CITY OF ORMOC IN THE PROVINCE OF 
LEYTE TO BE KNOWN AS SAN ISIDRO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL 
AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Article II, Section 17 of the 1987 Constitution states that, "The State shall give 
priority to education, science and technology, arts, culture, and sports to foster 
patriotism and nationalism, accelerate social progress, and promote total human 
liberation and development "Article XIV, Section 1, it further provides 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."
Currently, There are eighty-three (83) elementary schools and only sixteen (16) 
secondary schools in the City of Ormoc. Clearly, there is a disproportion in the learning 
institutions of the said City. As a result of this disproportion, the Ormoc City National 
High School is under extreme congestion, thus it is no longer a conducive environment 
for learning.
Taking into consideration the abovementioned issues, this measure seeks to 
establish a national high school in Barangay San Isidro, Ormoc City. The planned new 
high school is not within a 1-2 kilometer radius of the closest secondary school, and 
would therefore be feasible.
In accordance with the Constitutional mandate to make education accessible to 
all, the immediate passage of this measure is earnestly sought.
