EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to separate Muntinlupa Business High School ~ Annex from
Muntinlupa Business High School and convert it into an independent national high school to
be known as Sucat National High School.

There are two (2) school districts in the City of Muntinlupa. The first district covers
the Barangays of Bayanan, Putatan, Poblacion and Tunasan while the second district covers
Barangays Sucat, Buli, Cupang, Alabang and Ayala Alabang.

Presently, there are three public high schools catering to the needs of students in the
second district - Muntinlupa Business High School located in Barangay Buli, Muntinlupa
Business High School ~ Annex in Barangay Sucat, and Pedro E. Diaz High School located at
the boundary of Barangays Alabang and Bayanan. However, the curriculum of Muntinlupa
Business High School is geared towards technological-vocational education and therefore
caters more to students who want to pursue a career in this field. Only Pedro E. Diaz High
School and Muntinlupa Business High School — Annex offer general curriculum for high
school students.

In order to give Muntinlupa Business High School — Annex more leeway or elbow
room to improve its services, there is a need to separate it from Muntinlupa Business High
School and establish it as an independent national high school. In this manner, it will have its
own resources that are separate from Muntinlupa Business High School that it can work on to
plan how it can best serve, and cater to, the needs of thousands of children living in the
relocation site.

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