EXPLANATORY NOTE

Barangay Tadiangan is located in the northern part of the Municipality of Tuba and
adjacent to Baguio City. It has a population of more than 5,000. It is home for hardworking,
people instilled with various talents and skills which, when developed, could contribute to the
economic development of the community. Although primarily agricultural, it has other natural
resources that could be utilized by the residents to make a living.

However, these resources remain unexploited due to the insufficient education of the
residents. It has three (3) existing public elementary schools namely: Kiwas Elementary School,
Gilbert Semon Elementary School, and Yagyagan Elementary School. They have to go to Baguio
City to receive secondary education.

Residents report that the problem of dropouts in high school and college is due to the
high cost of daily transportation, allowances and miscellaneous expenses in commuting to and
from Baguio City where the nearest high school is located. The establishment of a high school in
this barangay would reduce such expenses and li provide a safer place for residents to send
their children, A vocational school would also provide training for alternative sources of income
for out-of-school youths and unemployed residents.

This would also benefit residents of adjoining barangays of Asin, Nagalisan and San
Pascual in the Municipality of Tuba and Basca in Aringay and also in Tubao and Naguilian in La
Union.

Such would further give flesh to the State policy to promote the right of citizens to
quality education and to take appropriate steps to make education accessible to all

In view of the foregoing, this bill is being filed to establish the Tuba Vocational High
‘School. Approval of the same is highly urged.
