Pagbilao National High School (Main), is a public institution of learning

the educational needs of the community and the nearby barangays of Pagbilao, Quezon.
Itwas formerly a secondary program of Quezon National Agricultural School (QNAS) - a
national agricultural school established in 1960 by virtue of RA 1895. In 1997 the
technical and vocational schools of QNAS were transferred to Technical Education and
Skills Development Authority (TESDA) while its Secondary Program remained under
the Department of Education. In 2002, the QNAS Secondary Program was renamed as
Pagbilao National High School (PNHS) with two campuses namely PNHS Silangang
Malicboy Campus (Main) and PNHS Mapagong Campus (Extension) offering both

general secondary education curriculum.


On January 6, 2009, Pagbilao National High School was renamed Silangang
Malicboy National High School by the Department of Education. By December of 2009,
DepEd approved the separation of PNHS Extension (Mapagong Campus) from its main
campus PNHS Silangang Malicboy (now Silangang Malicboy National High School).
However, the financial requirements of PNHS continue to be supported by the local
government units until such time that PNHS budget is included in the GAA, In fact
under the National Expenditures Program of the government for 2011, PNHS is not
included, Its mother school, the Silangang Malicboy National High School however was
able to have the budget which incorporates the budget of PNHS. It is imperative
therefore that a law be enacted separating and converting PNHS, for it to be entitled for
budget allocation from the government and the corresponding transfer of all its

personnel, assets, liabilities and records,

PNIIS continues to provide utmost quality and excellent training to its pupils

in preparation for the furtherance of higher education and advanced learning

As education is the key to the progress of the community, the passage of this

bill is urgently requested.
