EXPLORATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert the existing Don Bosco High School (Paranaque National
High School - Don Bosco Extension) located in Barangay Don Bosco, City of Paranaque
into an independent national high school to be known as the Don Bosco National High
School.

The said school was established in 2013 in preparation for the implementation of
the national government's K-12 program and catered to the students residing in Barangay
Don Bosco who were previously enrolled in other high schools located Barangays
Moonwalk and Sun Valley.

With Barangay Don Bosco having a projected population of 51,614, consisting of
around 11,500 households in 2014 (according to the Local Government Unit of Paranaque
website), the said school is one of fastest growing high schools in the City in terms of
student population.

Funding support from the Local Government and other private entities have helped
in terms of the physical improvement of the school but much more is needed in order to
meet the growing school populace and student needs such as the increase in the number
of teachers, books, computers, and other instructional and learning materials.

The increase and prioritization in the allotment of funds from the national
government will greatly help to ensure that the growing needs of the school will be met
and that the high standard of education be provided to our deserving students.

As The Philippine Constitution of 1987 Article 14, Sections 1 and 2 (1) states: 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 and Establish,
maintain, and support a complete, adequate and integrated system of education relevant
to the needs of the people and society.

With that in mind and in view of the foregoing reg
this bill is earnestly sought.
