HOUSE BILL NO-

Introduced by HONORABLE REPRESENTATIVES PANTALEON D. ALVAREZ AND
RUWEL PETER S. GONZAGA

EXPLANATORY ‘NOTE
; .
The Philippine Constitution provides under Section 1 of Article XIV 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.

This bill endeavours to establish additional Compostela Valley State College satellite
campuses in the municipalities of Laak, Maco and Nabunturan in the province of Compostela
Valley.

On account of it’s geographical proximity, it would be more practical to establish
additional campuses in these areas to improve the efficiency and ample delivery of academic
programs by the CVSC to these municipalities and its student population. This will bring about
an expeditious realization of common goals of improving the quality of education in these areas,
one that will also bring much improved academic performance.

This proposed measure will enable this learning institution to be more responsive to the
needs of it’s resident students by reaching out thru the establishment of additional learning sites
geared towards the improvement of the quality of education that all Comvalenos will receive
from all comers of the province. Illiteracy in the locality will be greatly addressed with the onset
of better educational programs being formulated and implemented by a more inspired academic

staff.
Heni of thig'measure is highly 90
