EXPLANATORY NOTE

This is the second of a series of bills | am filing to establish national high schools in the
Municipality of Goa, Camarines Sur. | reiterate the state policies applicable pursuant to my
intent of establishing a national high school in Gimaga, Goa, Camarines Sur.

WHEREAS, Sec. 17 of Art. II of the 1987 Philippine Constitution provides as follows:

“Section 17. 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.”

WHEREAS, Sec. 1 of Art. XIV of the same legislation says:

“Section 1. 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.”

‘WHEREAS, Sec. 2 of the same Article provides:
“Section 2. The State shall:

1. Establish, maintain, and support a complete, adequate, and
integrated system of education relevant to the needs of the
people and society;

2. Establish and maintain, a system of free public education in the
elementary and high school levels. Without limiting the natural
rights of parents to rear their children, elementary education is
compulsory for all children of school age;

wor

Goa — the municipality where Gimaga is located - currently houses the greatest
number of constituents in the Partido District and welcomes more students in the area during
the schoolyear as it also serves as the host of the Philippine Science High School. It is my
hope to provide my constituents in barangays with growing populations more choices and
access to quality public education


In view of the foregoing, the approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
