HOUSE BILL No. 476 &

INTRODUCED BY REPRESENTATIVE ADRIAN MICHAEL A. AMATONG

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to separate the Liloy National High School-Silucap
Extension from the Liloy National High School, and convert it into an
independent national high school to be known as the Silucap National High
School.

Liloy National High School-Silucap Extension is located at Barangay
Silucap in the Municipality of Liloy, a third-class municipality in the Province
of Zamboanga del Norte. Currently, it has 79 students from Grades 7-8, with
more students expected to enroll in the succeeding years as it has four feeder
elementary schools.

The separation of Silucap Extension from the Liloy National High School
is sought considering that it is five kilometers away from the nearest high
school, making it the most accessible school for the constituents of Barangay
Silucap and its nearby barangays. Moreover, its conversion as an independent
national high school will provide it with more funds necessary for the
construction of classrooms and employment of permanent teaching and non-
teaching personnel.

It is also noteworthy that the separation of Silucap Extension from its
mother school and its establishment as an independent school is
recommended by the Schools Division Office of Zamboanga del Norte.

In turn, this measure will uphold the State’s mandate under the
Constitution to “protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality
education at all levels” and to “take appropriate steps to make such education
accessible to all.”

In view of the foregoing, the approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
