EXPLANATORY NOTE
This bill seeks to formally convert Hibao-an Elementary School into an integrated school.
As we all know, education gives us an understanding of the world around us. It is the institution
that raises a person into a rational being capable of discerning both what is good and necessary
for his survival. Not only is the person raised, but the society as a whole as well. It is for this
reason that education is recognized as a key component in the development of our nation.
Whereas, it is the policy of our government to give priority to education. No less than the
Philippine Constitution demands the primacy of giving Filipinos accessible and quality
education. It is the mandate of the government to establish, maintain and support a complete,
adequate, and integrated system of education responsive to the needs of the people and the
society.
Consistent with the objectives of our Constitution, this legislative measure aims to convert
Hibao-an Elementary School into an integrated school. This measure stands to benefit not only
the residents of Hibao-an but the adjacent barangays as well, namely: Hibao-an Norte and
Barangay Guzman Jesena.
This bill is a response to the hopes of the residents of Hibao-an for a quality education for their
children.
In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
