EXPLANATORY NOTE, » ee of

‘This bill aims to provide the youth of Barangay Imulnod in the Municipality of
Brooke's Point, Province of Palawan, access to quality secondary education by converting the
Ipilan National High School - Imulnod Annex into a separate and distinct national high
school from the Ipilan National High School, to be known as ELISEO LAGRADA OBLIAN

NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL.

The Ipilan National High School ~ Imulnod Annex obtains its funding for operations
from its mother school, the Ipilan National High School, The constant increase in the number
of enrollees of Imulnod Annex shows that students recognize the tremendous value of
education in shaping the future and alleviating poverty. Moreover, in order for the school to
function effectively and efficiently, a regular source of funds every school year must be
sufficient. It can only be realized by making it a distinct institution and funding therefor
included in the annual General Appropriations Act. Furthermore, the separation and
conversion into a national high school will improve the administration of both Imulnod
Annex and Ipilan National High School in terms of addressing the needs of its students

‘The Imulnod Annex High Schoo! was issued permit to operate by the Regional
Director of Region IV-B, Department of Education, pursuant to the request of local
government officials of Brooke’s Point, Palawan, after compliance with gnecessarys
requirements therefor,

This bill is recommended for approval, consistent with Article XIV Section One of
the 1987 Constitution which mandates 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.”

In accordance with the State’s policy of providing quality education for its citizens,
the approval of this bill is earnestly recommended,
