EXPLANATORY NOTE

|

The Department of Education (DepEd) recently included in its strategic goals the
“expansion of access and inclusion in basic education.” In line with this thrust, the DepEd
institutionalized the Special Education (SPED) Program - a curriculum that caters
specifically to learners who are visually or hearing impaired, orthopedically
handicapped, have learning disabilities, suffer speech impediments, or are afflicted with
autism, ADHD and other similar medical conditions. Students in the SPED program are
placed in an educational environment with facilities suited to their abilities and guided
by sufficient faculty and staff members trained to educate special learners.

|

At present, there are only three (3) SPED Centers in the Schools Division of the
City of Mati, Davao Oriental. Due to the distance and financial constraints brought about
by high transportation costs, personal and safety expenses, and other necessary logistical
costs, these centers are inaccessible to special learners residing in the farther areas of the
district in¢luding barangays Dahican, Dawan, Macangao, La Union, Tibanban and Luzon.

This bill is being filed in response to the petition filed by the residents of Barangay
Dawan, City of Mati for the establishment of a SPED Center within their barangay proper
to be called Dawan Central Elementary School SPED Center.

‘Support for this bill is earnestly sought.

At present, there are three (3) SPED Centers in the Schools Di ion of the City of

Introduced by Honorable Richard I. Gomez 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
Despite the local and national accomplishments of the Philippine Drug Enforcement 
Agency, with the cooperation of local government units, the nation’s war on illegal drugs still 
continues. 
Whereas Republic Act 9165, otherwise known as the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs 
Act of 2002, already prescribes that local government units (LGUs) appropriate “a substantial 
portion” of their respective annual budgets to assist in the implementation of the same Act, the 
effective amounts directed towards the fight against illegal drugs remain voluntary in nature. 
This bill would ensure that LGUs set aside a definite amount equivalent to ONE 
PERCENT of their annual budgets. This would ensure each LGU’s commitment to eradicate 
the trade, importation, manufacture and use of dangerous drugs, by investing in projects that 
promote preventive education and rehabilitation. 
I enjoin my fellow lawmakers to further strengthen the war against dangerous drugs 
through the approval and enactment of this bill.

Republic Act 6975. otherwise known as the Department of Interior and Local
Government Act of 1990, provides that the Bureau of Fire Protection (BEP) is required to
establish at least one (1) fire station with adequate fire-fighting facilities and equipment in
every province, city and municipality, and provide highly trained officers and staff with
capability, initiative and foresight to effectively implement their fire prevention and
suppression program and assist during national emergencies.

Barangay 649 or more commonly known as Baseco is located at Zone 68, District V.
City of Manila is situated along the reclaimed area, Port Area, Manila that used to be under
the jurisdiction of the Philippine Ports Authority. Baseco has a total land area of 54 hectares,

elementary school, one (1) public high school, one (1) police community precint, one (1) public
market and two (2) health centers, all owned by the government.

Currently, the nearest fire station in Baseco is the Intramuros Fire Station, which, in
case of fire emergency, would take ten (10) minutes before the nearest fire station can respond
. With the information previously given. the necessity of Bascco to have its own
fire station to respond during fire and other calamities arises. The preservation of life of the
constituents of the barangay as well as the preservation of the government facilities located in

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Barangay is the basic unit of our country's socio-political structure. It is the
smallest administrative division in the country and instrumental in the achievement of
the government's priority reform programs to eradicate poverty, promote social welfare
and deal with emergencies.

This proposed measure to postpone the December 2022 Barangay and
Sangguniang Kabataan Election is to ensure that there is a continuity in government
response. The recently concluded May 2022 elections gave us new leaders and
government officials who could depend on the adeptness of the barangay officials to
echo the government's basic programs to their respective localities.

Another reason why the conduct of the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan
Election is proposed to be reset is the funding requirements that it entails. Such funds
can be channeled to the administration's priority program to help cushion the negative
effect on the economy of the COVID-19 pandemic and the war between Russia and
Ukraine.

In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this measure is eamestly
sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

|

‘The Department of Education (DepEd) recently included in its strategic goals the
“expansion of access and inclusion in basic education.” In line with this thrust, the DepEd
institutionalized the Special Education (SPED) Program - a curriculum that caters
specifically to learners who are visually or hearing impaired, orthopedically
handicapped, have learning disabilities, suffer speech impediments, or are afflicted with
autism, ADHD and other similar medical conditions. Students in the SPED program are
placed in /an educational environment with facilities suited to their abilities and guided
by sufficient faculty and staff members trained to educate special learners.

At present, there are only three (3) SPED Centers in the Schools Division of the
City of Mati, Davao Oriental. Due to the distance and financial constraints brought about
by high transportation costs, personal and safety expenses, and other necessary logistical
costs, these centers are inaccessible to special learners residing in the farther areas of the
district including Dahican, Dawan, Macangao, Banaybanay, Tibanban and Luzon.

This bill is being filed in response to the petition filed by the residents of Barangay
Luzon, Municipality of Governor Generoso for the establishment of a SPED Center within
their barangay proper to be called the Luzon Central Elementary School SPED Center.

Support for this bill is earnestly sought.

House Bill No.

Introduced by REPRESENTATIVE NOEL “BONG” N. RIVERA

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to re-establish the San Martin Elementary School in Barangay San Martin,
Municipality of Concepcion, Province of Tarlac.

The enrollees of this school then were continuously growing due to the increasing
population in the said barangay. However, when Mount Pinatubo erupted in 1991, nothing was
left of this school and even the people re-settled in neighbouring place in the Municipalities of
Concepcion and Capas, both in the Province of Tarlac due to the onslaught of lahar

Two decades later, the people who resettled in different places continue to return to the
said barangay to start a new life. However, due to the absence of school in this barangay, the
school children have no choice but to pursue their studies in neighbouring barangays even if they
are far distant from Barangay San Agustin

‘The re-establishment therefore of San Martin Elementary School is a concrete gesture to
address the growing clamour of the people in Barangay San Martin to have their own school for
the benefit of both the school children, who have to travel a few kilometers away and the parents,
who have to defray added expenses for food and transportation allowances.

The approval of this bill is a realization of the Constitutional mandate to make education
accessible to all.

In view of the foregoing reasons, the approval of this bill is earnestly sought,
