AN ACT PROVIDING FOR THE SEPARATION AND AUTONOMY OF ESPERANZA
NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL-ANNEX, SAN JOSE CAMPUS IN BRGY. SAN JOSE, CITY OF
KORONADAL, PROVINCE OF SOUTH COTABATO FROM ITS PARENT SCHOOL, AND
ITS ESTABLISHMENT AS THE MARBEL 5 NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL, AND
APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR

EXPLANATORY NOTE

‘The Esperanza National High School-Annex, San Jose Campus had a total of 822
students for the School Year 2018-2019. It has a land area of more or less 1 hectare. Per records,
the nearest government school is 5 kilometers away from Barangay San Jose. The establishment
of an autonomous high school in San Jose will cater not only to the residents of said barangay,
but also to those of neighboring barangays, such as Barangay Avancena, Barangay Mabini, and
Barangay Namnama. The establishment of the school shall also encourage the sending of
children to school, especially those of the indigenous and Muslim communities.

Considering the rationale stated above, the approval of this Bill is earnestly sought.
