NATO! TE

‘The Education of the young is one of our nation’s policies for which the
Constitution specifically and unequivocally provides. Article Il, Section 13 of the 1987
Constitution provides that “the State recognizes the vital role of the youth in nation
building and shall promote and protect their physical, moral, spiritual, intellectual
and social well-being.” In Article XIV, Section 1, the 1987 Constitution likewise
provides that “the State shall take appropriate steps to make such education
accessible to all.”

Today, basic education is considered to be the most needed social service that
our government could provide to our citizenry. This is because it has been identified
as one of the essential requisites for the economic growth of our country.

Education is the key to producing secure, healthy, and productive individuals.
The bill, with its immediate enactment into law, should, therefore, be a step in the
right direction.

Thus, this House Bill is filed in response to the petition filed by the residents
of Barangay Manikling through the position papers of the various sectors of the
community within the Municipality of San Isidro, Province of Davao Oriental.

This Bill recognizes the predicament of the parents and sympathizes with the
sentiments of the people of Barangay Manikling in their desire to have a National High
School in their Barangay by the creation of the Manikling National High School to be
situated at the Barangay proper in the Municipality of San Isidro, Province of Davao
Oriental.

A similar version of this bill was previously filed by Hon. Joel Mayo Z. Almario
during the 18" Congress. Support for this bill is earnestly sought.
