HOUSE BILL NO. 1834

Introduced by Representative Ruwel Peter S. Gonzaga

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Philippine Constitution provides under Section 1 of Article XIV that “the State 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.

This bill endeavors to establish additional Davao de Oro State College satellite campus in
the Municipality of Nabunturan in the province of Davao de Oro.

On account of its geographical proximity, it would be more practical to establish additional
campus in this area to improve the efficiency and ample delivery of academic programs by the
DDOSC to these municipalities and its student population. This will bring about an expeditious

realization of common goals of improving the quality of education in these areas, one that will also
bring much improved academic performance.

This proposed measure will enable this learning institution to be more responsive to the
needs of its resident students by reaching out thru the establishment of additional learning sites
geared towards the improvement of the quality of education that all Davacefios will receive from
all comers of the province. Illiteracy in the locality will be greatly addressed with the onset of
better educational programs being formulated and implemented by a more inspired academic staff.

Hence, approval of this measure is highly sought.
