Introduced by Representative ERIC GO YAP 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
The 1987 Constitution guarantees the right to access to all levels of education of its 
citizens. Hence, the state must be able to establish competent and independent 
schools, even in far-flung areas.  
Pursuant to Department of Education (DepEd) Order No. 40, Series of 2014 which provides 
for the Revised Guidelines on the Establishment, Merging, Conversion, and 
Naming/Renaming of Public Schools, and Separation of School Annexes in Basic 
Education, Benguet National High School - Alno Annex has satisfactorily complied 
with the requirements provided therein, particularly in Part VI, Section B.4, Par (a)—
allowing the conversion of a high school classified into a non-implementing unit to an 
implementing one.   
Granted the said compliance, this bill seeks to convert the Benguet National High 
School - Alno Annex in Barangay Alno, Municipality of La Trinidad, Benguet into an 
independent National High School to be known as the Alno National High School.  
Upon transitioning to become an independent educational institution, the said 
institution will gain financial austerity ensuring its liberal and centralized 
implementation projects and programs that are highly beneficial to the quality of 
education of the secondary students in Benguet, particularly those in Barangay Alno 
in the municipality of La Trinidad.  
In view of the foregoing, approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
