EXPLANATORY NOTE 
The Constitution provides that 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 all.” Further, “Science and technology are essential for national development and 
progress.” 
Pursuant to these, this proposed measure seeks to establish a Philippine Science High 
School (PSHS) campus in the Municipality of Libmanan in the Province of Camarines Sur. 
Science and technology are an integral part of modern life. From a nation-building standpoint, 
science education and training are a high priority for development because of their links to 
industry and progress. Through the establishment of PSHS in Libmanan, deserving students who 
excel in the fields of science and technology and mathematics will be provided with accessible 
quality education. Furthermore, qualified students will have an opportunity to be equipped with 
proper and excellent training to improve their scientific reasoning skills which remain vital in an 
increasingly technologically-advanced world. 
In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
