HOUSE BILL NO.

Introduced By:
REP. FRANCISCO JOSE F. MATUGAS II
$* District, Surigao del Norte (Siargao Island)

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks the separation of the Gen. Luna National High School -
Suyangan Annex in Barangay Suyangan, Municipality of Gen. Luna, Province of
Surigao del Norte from its mother school, the Gen. Luna National High School.

The separation and conversion of the said annex high school into an
independent national high school is expected to improve its administrative and
financial capacity to deliver uncompromised instruction to the concerned students.
As it manages its own educational funds, instructional supervision and coaching
will be enhanced thereby contributing significantly to the student's success in the
learning plan.

This legislation will also be in support to the Ktol2 Program of the
Department of Education as this measure will effectively implement a career and
education system through academic integration in preparation for the
implementation of a senior high school.

As to the distance to the mother school, the Suyangan Annex campus is.
located approximately 10.06 nautical miles south of Gen. Luna. This distance poses
danger to the faculty and staff who have to cross the ocean particularly during
inclement weather.

Pursuant to the Constitution and in consonance with Republic Act 6655,
otherwise known as the Free Secondary Act, and for the foregoing reasons, approval
of this bill is earnestly sought

FRANCISC¢ EF. MATUGAS I
