EXPLANATORY NOTE

This is the fourth in a series of five (5) bills | am filing for the benefit of Goa, Camarines
Sur, a rapidly-growing municipality. In view of the influx of students from both within and
outside the District, it is now critical to provide more options to my constituents in Goa as to a
choice of educational institution which is both accessible and affordable. In this wise, | reiterate
the following state policies:

WHEREAS, Sec. 17 of Art. Il of the 1987 Philippine Constitution provides as follows:

“Section 17. The State shall give priority to education, science and
technology, arts, culture, and sports to foster patriotism and
nationalism, accelerate social progress, and promote total human
liberation and development.”

WHEREAS, Sec. 2 of Art. XIV of the same legislation provides:
“Section 2. The State shall:

1. Establish, maintain, and support a complete, adequate, and
integrated system of education relevant to the needs of the
people and society;

2. Establish and maintain, a system of free public education in the
elementary and high school levels. Without limiting the natural
rights of parents to rear their children, elementary education is
compulsory for all children of school age;

200%

The conversion of the Lip-Ac Elementary School to the Lip-Ac Integrated School will
‘open more doors - literally and figuratively — for the youth in Goa in pursuance of the noble
intent of the Constitution to provide quality public education for all

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