Seventeenth Congress
Second Regular Session

HOUSE BILL NO. 7728

Introduced by Representative Peter John D, Calderon

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to separate the Dumanjug National High School (Bitoon
National Vocational High School - Poblacion Extension) in Barangay Liong,
Municipality of Dumanjug, Province of Cebu from the Bitoon National
Vocational High School and convert it into an independent national high school
to be known as Dumanjug National High School.

The administration, supervision and budgetary requirement of the Bitoon
National Vocational High School - Poblacion Extension is dependent upon the
Bitoon National Vocational High School. The separation and conversion of the
extension school into an independent national high school will enable it to
function on its own and fully support the K-12 Program of the government.

Being attached to a vocational high school, the Bitoon National
Vocational High School - Poblacion Extension is primarily centered on
technical, vocational and livelihood tracks. Its separation from Bitoon National
Vocational High School will enable it to promote the other speci: tracks of
the K-12 Program. Thus, it will provide more avenues for quality high school
education in Barangay Liong and nearby barangays in Dumanjug.

In line with the policy of the government to protect and promote the right
of all citizens to quality education at all levels, and its goal to make education
accessible to all, the approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
