EXPLANATORY NOTE
Article II, Section 17 of the 1987 Constitution provides that the State shall give 
priority to education. The Constitution further declares that 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. Thus, the establishment, 
maintenance and support of a complete, adequate, and integrated system of 
education relevant to the needs of the people and society is a priority of the State.
The Ducligan National High School Annex in Barangay Kinakin, Municipality of 
Banaue, Ifugao is an annex school of the Ducligan National High School. As an annex 
school, it is fiscally dependent to its mother school, and is second priority in terms of 
budget and physical development. Being second priority in budget constrains the 
school from fulfilling its primary objective - to provide quality and accessible education 
to the children in the Ifugao province.
To address this problem, this bill seeks to convert the Ducligan National High 
School Annex into an independent national high school to be known as Kinakin 
National High School.
In view of the foregoing, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
