HOUSE BILLNO. 7725

Introduced by Representative Peter John D. Calderon

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to separate the Badian National High School —Tubod National High
School Extension in Barangay Tubod, Municipality of Badian, Province of Cebu from
Badian National High School to be known as the Tubod (Badian) National High School.

The Badian National High School — Tubod National High School Extension has
been operational since 1996 and has produced its first graduates in 1999. Although it is
located in the mountainous part of Badian, it has attained the second largest number of
student population in Badian as of school year 2017-2018.

For the school year 2014-2015, the school started to offer Grade 11 specializing in
Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (TVL) Track — Home Economics (HE) and Information
and Communications Technology (ICT) strand. Thus, the Tubod National High School
Extension became an integrated Senior High School which will have pioneer graduates of
the K to 12 Program for the school year 2018-2019.

Through the years, the school has been catering to the educational needs of the
students of that part of Badian by providing them with teachers who can facilitate the best
learning process. By separating the Badian National High School — Tubod National High
School Extension in Barangay Tubod and converting it into an independent national high
school, it will have a separate funding for new classrooms and other services thereby.
Thus, enabling it to effectively and efficiently perform its role in the community and in
nation-building.

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