HOUSE BILL No. 5484

Introduced by Rep. MANUEL F. ZUBIRI

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert the Dangcagan National High School ~ Miaray Annex
into the Miaray National High School in the Barangay of Miaray, Municipality of
Dangcagan, Province of Bukidnon.

The current annex has been in existence for 13 years now, serving as the
primary state-funded high school for residents of Barangay Miaray and students coming
from the barangays in the upper Pulangui River and the adjacent barangays of
neighboring municipalities, namely Kiatotao and Kibawe. It currently serves 412
students, despite its status as an annex

The barangay has recently written my office indicating their desire to donate two
hectares of land to enlarge the national high school’s capacity and to add to its
resources. It also asked for congressional intervention to better the high school's
services by funneling the intended budget from the annex to the national high school to
be established by this bill. It is in the best interest of our Bukidnon youth that the annex
finally be converted to a national high school to better serve the needs of my younger
constituents and to prove professional stability to the teaching and non-teaching
employees of the said annex.

‘As Benjamin Franklin once said, “An investment in knowledge pays the’best
interest.” Let us continue investing in our youth by providing them adequate stete-
sponsored facilities and education.

The passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
