EXPLANATORY NOTE

A primary school exists within Mapulang Lupa, serving as the initial point of
education for the local youth. Nevertheless, this institution is not configured to deliver a
complete primary education encompassing all mandated grade levels. This situation
compels students residing in Mapulang Lupa to attend schools in adjacent barangays to
fulfill their elementary education requirements.

In accordance with the mandate set forth in Section 1, Article XIV of the 1987
Philippine Constitution, which ensures the right to quality, accessible education for all
citizens, the Valenzuela City Council enacted Ordinance No. 853, Series of 2021. This
legislative act emphasizes the critical nature of the measure and signifies strong
institutional support. Furthermore, it formally recognizes the distinguished service of
Honorable Pio N. Carreon Sr., a three-term City Councilor and esteemed public servant.
His visionary leadership and steadfast commitment were central to developing and
executing programs that meaningfully enhanced the lives of Valenzuclanos during his
tenure. This ordinance thus serves as both a lasting tribute to his legacy and an affirmation
of his profound contributions to the city’s advancement and well-being.

This initiative aligns directly with the State's objective of guarantecing every child.
irrespective of socio-economic status, access to quality basic education. | am deeply
convinced that this measure constitutes a crucial investment in our young people, providing,
them with the thorough education essential for their future.

The goal of this educational foundation is to cultivate not just knowledge, but also
the essential skills, critical thinking abilities, and resilience necded for students to fully
develop and smoothly transition into adulthood as productive contributors to society.

Recognizing the educational needs of the community, this bill introduces a
significant initiative to establish a dedicated elementary schoo! in Barangay Mapulang
Lupa, City of Valenzuela, Metro Manila. ‘The primary objective is to establish a new
educational institution that will serve the local population. This schoo! will be officially
known as Councilor Pio N. Carreon Sr. Elementary School Act marking a vital step
towards ensuring accessible and quality primary education for the children in this area.

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