EXPLANATORY NOTE

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world’,
thus said revolutionary politician, philanthropist and Nobel Peace Prize winner Nelson
Mandela

True enough, education is the instrument through which catharsis from
debilitating poverty would be possible. The most important legacy we can leave with
the next generation.

Article XIV, Section | of the Philippine Constitution upholds it's protection,
promotion and availability to every Filipino child. Our way of equipping them to face the
challenges of the future and ensuring a better life for them.

Cagayan de Oro National Highschool ~ Balulang Annex was established in 2005
to cater to the needs of the young students in 14 sitios in the 1st District of Cagayan de
Oro City. It is a progressive school in terms of population. Since it's inception 10 years
ago, the school has become an achiever school, winning various awards and
recognitions within the division.

With it's current 700 enrollees and the rapid influx of students each year, the
institution is having a hard time keeping up with the edutational needs of the children as
it is dependent on it's mother school — the Cagayan de\Oro National Highschool. The
current administrators cannot act on problems real time because they have to wait for
the decision of the mother school thereby jeopardizing the quality of educational
services they can offer. Not to mention the fact that|the Officials of the mother school
may prioritize it's needs which will ultimately limit the effectivity of Cagayan de Oro
National Highschool - Balulang Annex's services to its| student:

In view thereof, the approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
