HOUSE BILL NO.

Introduced by: HON. HON. MAGNOLIA ROSA ANTONINO-NADRES

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Constitution explicitly mandates the State not only to make education accessible 10
all but also to uphold the right of citizens to quality education

Icis worthy to mention that our government has invested heavily on the education of our
school children knowing fully: well that investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.
This can be gleaned from another provision in the Constitution to give highest budgetary priority
to education. It is not surprising therefore that the Department of Education gets the highest
budgetary pie every year over other Departments and perhaps the reason public clementary and
high schools are now found anywhere in the countryside, even in far-flung areas,

It is an irony however that while barangays located in remote places and also within the
periphery of the Municipality of San Leonatdo have their own public elementary schools, the
school children of Barangay Diversion, which is within the municipal poblacion, have to go to
distant places just to enroll in public schools, particularly the poor,

This bill therefore seeks to establish a public elementary school in Barangay Diversion,
Municipality of San Leonardo, Province of Nueva Ecija to be known as Diversion Elementary
School

‘The paramount objective of this measure is to address the growing clamor of the parents
of Barangay Diversion, who have been greatly inconvenienced by the distance of public
elementary schools in the poblacion. This will also lessen the cost and risk of sending their school
children (0 the suburbs where public clementary schools are located

In view of the foregoing reasons, the Se es of this bill is eames
