NINETEENTH CONGRESS 
First Regular Session 
HOUSE BILL NO. _________ 
Introduced by Rep. ALLEN JESSE C. MANGAOANG 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This Bill seeks to establish an e-library and computer laboratory in Pinukpuk 
Elementary School in Barangay Pinukpuk Junction, Municipality of Pinukpuk in the Province 
of Kalinga. 
As an effect of the Covid-19 Pandemic, educational institutions are now gearing 
towards digital learning platforms to continue with the process of educating students. The new 
normal now is a transformed concept of education with digital learning tools at the core of this 
transformation. Moreover, by extending beyond traditional textbooks to include digital 
resources, educational institutions are able to become more efficient educators since the most 
updated and extensive resources and references can be accessed online in various digital 
libraries. 
To adopt to the new normal and to ensure that the students can access these digital 
libraries, this proposed measure seeks to establish an e-library and computer laboratory within 
Pinukpuk Elementary School to consist of at least thirty (30) units of computers that shall have 
access to the internet and to the digital libraries and collections of the National Library of the 
Philippines.  
    In view of the foregoing, I earnestly seek the approval of this bill.
