EIGHTEENTH CONGRESS

First Regular Session

House Bill No. 2644

Introduced by Hon. Juliet Marie D. Ferrer

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The proposed bill was filed last 17% Congress but due to lack of material
time the same was not acted upon by the plenary.

Yubo Extension High School was established in June 1998, to cater the
educational need of Barangay Yubo and its nearby Barangays, namely, Brgy. Sag-
ang, Brgy. Haguimit and Brgy. Ara-al. At the time it was established there were
only about 33 students under the First and Second year level with 4 only teachers.
The Extension, as the word connotes, is wholly dependent on La Granja National
High School for its entire operations.

As the years passed by, community flourished and a gradual growth of the
Extension is apparently felt. It registered an annual growth of 5% in terms of the
number of students and the demand for additional teachers has become
imperative. As of today, the Extension has population of 312 students with only
11 teachers catering their needs.

The 1987 Constitution provides that :

“SECTION 1. 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.

“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 right
of parents to rear their children, elementary education is compulsory
for all children of school age;”


Anchored on the foregoing State policy, it is the avowed desire of the City
of La Carlota to realize a long envisioned dream for Yubo Elementary Extension
School to be fully independent from La Granja National High School that it may
able to cater the educational needs of the students of Barangay Yubo and nearby
barangays and effectively deliver the quality education they truly deserve.

It is for these reasons that I seek for the immediate enactment of this law.
