SEVENTEENTH CONGRESS

First Regular Session

Howse Bill No, 4482

Introduced by Hon. Juliet Marie D. Ferrer

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Yubo Extension High School was established in June 1998, to cater to the
educational need of Barangay Yubo and its nearby Barangays, namely, Brgy
Sag-ang, Brgy. Haguimit and Brgy. Ara-al. At the time it was established, there
were only about 33 students under the First and Second year level with 4 only
teachers. The Extension, as the word connotes, is wholly dependent on La Granja
National High School for its entire operations.

Over the years, the community flourished and a gradual growth of the
Extension has been notably felt, It registered an annual growth of 5% in terms of
the number of students and the demand for additional teachers has now become:
imperative. As of today, the Extension has population of 312 students with only
U1 teachers catering, their needs.

The 1987 Constitution provides that:

“SECTION 1. ‘The State shall protect and promote the right of all
citizens to quality education at all levels and shall take appropriate
steps to make such education accessible to ali

“SECTION 2. The State shall:

(1) Establish, maintain, and support a complete, adequate, and
integrated system of education relevant to the needs of the people
and society;

wer nese,

ak



(2) Establish and maintain a system of free public education in the
elementary and high school levels, Without limiting, the natural
right of parents to rear their children, elementary education is
compulsory for all children of school age;”

Anchored on the foregoing State policy, it is the avowed desire of the City
of La Carlota to realize a long, envisioned dream for Yubo Elementary Extension
School to be fully independent from La Granja National High School that it may
able to cater the educational needs of the students of Barangay Yubo and nearby
barangays and effectively deliver the quality education they truly deserve.

It is for these reasons that I seek for the immediate enactment of this law.
