House BILL No._2133

INTRODUCED BY REP. MARCELINO “MARCY” R. TEODORO

EXPLANATORY NOTE,

Since 1990, pursuant to Republic Act No. 6792 (An Act Establishing a Day Care
Center in Every Barangay Instituting Therein a Total Development and Protection of
Children Program, Appropriating Funds Therefor, and for Other Purposes), day care
centers have been providing basic and necessary services directly to the people in the
communities.

Like the barangay, day care centers are most significant insofar as addressing
the evolving needs of the populace. As they bring government services to the people,
these centers are considered the primary channels of the goverment for its programs,
projects, and activities in the community,

Given the importance of the center, it should be able to keep up with the growing
demands of the times. Therefore, equally essential as the day care centers’ maintenance
would be the social and economic welfare of the day care teachers.

This bill seeks to give more funding support for day care centers — for its own
maintenance, better implementation of its programs and financial support to its teachers.

In light of the foregoing, urgent approval of this bill is sincerely sought
