The Chair presented for committee deliberation House Bill No. 286, introduced by
Rep. Maria Carmen Zamora-Apsay, titled: “AN ACT ESTABLISHING THE
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION DIVISION OFFICE OF COMPOSTELA VALLEY
PROVINCE AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR”.

Upon direction of the Chair, Ms. Maria Josefina R. Ricafort, Committee Secretary,
apprised the Body that the committee first acted on House Bill No. 286 during its
previous meeting. She said that the Department of Education (DepEd), however,
revealed that the proposed Division Office already exists and a budget allocation was
included in the General Appropriations Act of 2012; hence, the bill was deferred. She
at Rep. Zamora-Apsay wrote a letter to the Chair requesting that the bill
be considered for deliberation in the committee’s next meeting.

Upon acknowledgment by the Chair, DepEd Assistant Secretary Tonisito Umali stated
that DepEd had no objection to the approval of House Bill No. 286. When asked by
the Chair on why the change of mind, ASec. Umali explained that DepEd really has to
allocate fund if the intent is to create another Division Office in the Province of
Compostela Valley.
