EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill, which seeks the separation of Calape National High School-Tapilon Annex in
Barangay Tapilon, Municipality of Daanbantayan , Cebu from the Calape National High School
and converting it into an independent high school to be known as Tapilon National High School
is a re-filed bill. This was first filed in the 15" Congress during. its 1" Regular Session and was
referred to the Committee on Basic Education and Culture.

‘As an extension of Calape National High School, Calape National High School-Tapilon
Annex is very much dependent on Calape National High School in terms of administrative
support and resources.

To achieve quality education, the school must have its own set of administrative and
supervisory support staff. The teachers must be motivated and there should be available room
for growth and improvement for them. Regular and adequate source of funds each school year
must be satisfied to meet the school’s growing needs. This can only be realized if Calape
National High School-Tapilon Annex will be converted into an independent national high
school.

Hence, the approval of this bill is earnestly ymmended.
