House Bill No.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Constitution provides not only to make education accessible to all but also to
uphold the right of citizens to quality education.

In pursuance of these Constitutional mandates, Congress passed Republic Act No.
6655 otherwise known as the "Free Secondary Education Act of 1988."

Itis sad to know however that notwithstanding these Constitutional mandates, public
schools located in the far-flung areas have been usually inconvenienced by myriad problems,
including the availability of public high schools where the poor elementary graduates may
pursue their basic education studies. This situation holds true in the case of elementary school
graduates of Barangay Pan-ay Dako and its adjacent barangays such as Canibungan Dako,
Dolores, and Masabud, in the Municipality of Clarin, Province of Misamis Occidental.

The barangay officials and residents have been persistently clamoring for the
establishment of a public high school in this barangay so as not to inconvenience the school
children, who spend hours of walking and also whatever is left of their allowance for
transportation fare.

This bill therefore seeks to establish a national high school in Barangay Pan-ay Dako,
Municipality of Clarin, Province of Misamis Occidental to be known as Felina Sevilla Oaminal
National High School (FSONHS) in order to address the growing clamor of the stakeholders
of Barangays Pan-ay Dako, Canibungan Dako, Dolores, and Masabud, who have been greatly
inconvenienced by the distance of public high schools in other barangays. This will also lessen
the cost and risk of sending their school children to the suburbs where prrbtiehigh schools are
located.
