HOUSE BILL NO.

Introduced by Representative GENARO M. ALVAREZ, JR.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

As provided for by the 1987 Constitution, specifically in Article XIV, Section 2
(2) which states:

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

Based on this Constitutional mandate is the realization in the City of
Kabankalan to give and enhance the educational needs of its students, especially
those residing in far flung barangays. With a population of 10,000, Barangay
Camingawan has been sending their high school students to Florentino Galang, Sr.
National High School located in Barangay Oringao. It was in 2008 that an annex high
school was established in Barangay Camingawan. The said annex school is currently
enrolled with 682 enrolled students, 8 classrooms and 19 teachers. The said number
of students is substantial enough to culminate an independent National High School,
to be known as Camingawan National High School. To give focus and priority
budgetary allocation from the National Government at Camingawan National High
School, this proposed bill, if approved, will give more significant viability and
beneficial favor to the students, the school administration and the teaching
personnel. This will also give them more leeway in terms of independence and
academic output.

By the foregoing approval of this bill is earnestly praye
