House Bill No. 1732

Introduced by HON. ROZZANO RUFINO B. BIAZON

EXPLANATORY NOTE,

Muntinlupa National High School NBP Annex is a product borne out of thousands of
relocates resettled in a 50-hectare lot inside the National penitentiary in Muntinlupa. This is
a government housing project where informal settlers living along the railroad track
stretching from Barangay Sucat to Barangay Tunasaan were relocated.

‘The establishment of the Muntinlupa National High School NBP Annex is the fruit of
the collaborative efforts of the National Housing Authority (NHA), the Office of the
Representative of the City of Muntinlupa, the City Government of Muntinlupa and urban
poor associations. Part of the development of the housing site was the allocation of around
1.5 hectares for the said high school.

This public learning institution started to become operational last June 29, 2009.
During its first 3 % months of operation, the school temporarily held classes at the Holy
Infant Academy Building, a private school inside the Victoria Homes Subdivision. This was
rented by the city government specifically for the use of the newly established high school.
Later on it was transferred to the newly constructed school building in the relocation site.

It is a fact that Muntinlupa National High School NBP Annex will play a pivotal role
in the educational development of the children of residents in the relocation site. There is
therefore a need to separate it from the Muntinlupa National High School and establish it as
an independent national high school to be known as the Poblacion National High School in
order that it may be given all the necessary resources to perform this primordial task.

Due to the foregoing, passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
