HOUSE BILL NO,

Introduced by Hon. Frederick F. Abueg

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert the Tarusan National High School ~ Sarong ¢Extension'

located in Barangay Sarong, Municipality of Bataraza, Province of Palawan, into a separate
and distinct national high school from the Tarusan National High School, to be known as
SARONG NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

The Tarusan National High School ~ Sarong Extension presently obtains its funding

for operations from its mother school, the Tarusan National High School. The continuous
increase in the number of enrollees shows that students recognize the tremendous value of
education in shaping the future and alleviating poverty. Moreover, in order for the school to
fanction effectively and efficiently, a regular source of funds every school year must be
sufficient. It can only be realized by making it a distinct institution and funding therefor
included in the annual General Appropriations Act. Furthermore, the separation and
conversion into a national high school will improve the administration of both Sarong
Extension and Tarusan National High School in terms of addressing the needs of its students.

The Sarong Extension High School was issued permit to operate by the Regional

Director of Region IV-B, Department of Education, pursuant to the request of local
government officials of Bataraza, Palawan, after compliance with necessary requirements
therefor

This bill is recommended for approval, consistent with Article XIV Sectién One oft

the 1987 Constitution which mandates 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,”

In accordance with the State’s policy of providing quality education for its citizens,

the approval of this bill is earnestly recommended
