Education is a human right, this is enshrined in Article XIV, Section 1 of the 
1987 Constitution, which states 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. Furthermore, Article II, Section 17 states that the 
State shall give priority to education.
Pursuant to the aforementioned constitutional mandate, this bill proposes to 
convert the Benguet National High School-Bineng Annex in Barangay Bineng, 
Municipality of La Trinidad, Province of Benguet into a national high school to be 
known as the Bineng National High School. The conversion of which will ensure that 
quality education is made accessible to all.

be separated and converted into an independent national high school. This way, the 
school may be able to receive direct funds from the national government to address 
the growing needs of a national high school and ensure that the youth of Benguet 
is afforded accessible and quality education.
In view of the foregoing, this representation earnestiy seeks your support for 
the approval of this biii.
