SEVENTEENTH CONGRESS
First Regular Session

House BILL No.__1058

Introduced by: HON. HON. MAGNOLIA ROSA C. ANTONINO

EXPLANATORY NOTE,

The Constitution explicitly mandates the State not only to make education accessible to
all but also to uphold the right of citizens to quality education

It is worthy to mention that our government has invested heavily on the education of our
school children knowing fully well that investment in knowledge always pays the best interest
This can be gleaned from another provision in the Constitution to give highest budgetary priority
to education. It is not surprising therefore that the Department of Education gets the highest
budgetary pie every year over other Departments and perhaps the reason public elementary and
high schools are now found anywhere in the countryside. even in far-flung areas.

It is an irony however that while barangays located in remote places and also within the
periphery of the Municipality of San Leonardo have their own public elementary schools, the
school children of Barangay Diversion, which is within the municipal poblacion, have to go to
distant places just to enroll in public schools. particularly the poor.

This bill therefore seeks to establish a public elementary schoo! in Barangay Diversion,
Municipality of San Leonardo, Province of Nueva Ecija to be known as Diversion Elementary
School

The paramount objective of this measure is to address the growing clamor of the parents
of Barangay Diversion, who have been greatly inconvenienced by the distance of public
elementary schools in the poblacion, This will also lessen the cost and risk of sending their school
children to the suburbs where public elementary schools are located.

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