EXPLANATORY NOTE

Article [1, Section 17 of the Constitution mandates that: “The State shal! give
Piority to education, science and technology, arts, culture, and sports to foster Patriotism
and nationalism, accelerate social progress, and promote total human liberation and
development.” The State further recognizes the vital role of the youth in nation building,
and as such, accords the highest protection and promotion of “the right of all citizens to
quality education at all levels and shall take appropriate steps to make such education
accessible to all,” as affirmed by Article XIV, Section 1 of the Constitution.

This bill aims to provide the youth of Lanao del Norte with access to free and
quality education through the establishment of a public secondary school, to be located in
Barangay Delabayan, Kauswagan, Lanao del Norte, and to be known as Sultan
Dimasangkay Mananggoto Integrated School.

During the early 1970's, there was a Proposal to establish a public secondary
school in Barangay Delabayan; however, this did not materialize in the midst of socio~
Political turmoil in the region. Delabayan and its neighboring barangays in Kauswagan,
Lanao de] Norte are now in dire need of a public secondary schoo! serving the area, due
lo the increasing number of students graduating from elementary school ‘every year,
Furthermore, the distance of Barangay Delabayan proper to existing high schools ix the
Coastal region is around thirteen kilometers, preventing a majority of elementary
graduates from pursuing their secondary studies,

The province prides itself as a major contributor to the overall development of
Mindanao. It is our hope that the youth of Lanao del Norte shall! be given equal access 10
cdlucational opportunities, which will allow them to graduate from their respective
secondary schools with the necessary values, skills, and competence to face an
increasingly competitive job market and to contribute greatly to the future of our local
and regional communities.

On the basis of the foregoing considerations, the passage of this bill is earnestly
