This bill seeks to establish a new public elementary school in Barangay Pinagbuhatan,
Pasig City, to be known as the Nagpayong-Pinagbuhatan Elementary School.

For SY 2022-2023, the existing Nagpayong Elementary School provides kindergarten
and elementary education to 11,281 learners, including those with disabilities, Many students
were requested to continue their education at public schools in other barangays as
Nagpayong Elementary School can no longer accommodate more students.

With the proposed Nagpayong-Pinagbuhatan Elementary School, the existing primary
school will be decongested, and the learners will have access to education without the
additional burden of going to neighboring barangays, in accordance with the constitutional
mandate of the State that it “shall protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality
education at all levels and shall take appropriate steps to make such education accessible to
all.”

In view of the foregoing, the approval of the proposed measure is earnestly requested.
