EXPLANATORY NOTE

The right to basic education is a fundamental right which under any and all
circumstances , must be upheld. Thus, it is the primary duty of the state to
provide quality education in all levels of education, especially in elementary and
secondary levels.

Don Felix Serra National High School — Lomboyan Extension located at
Barangay Lomboyan, San Joaquin, lloilo, caters pupils coming from the
elementary schools of Barangay Lomboyan and Langca. The enrollees of these
elementary schools are from the nine (9) mountainous barangays in the
northernmost part of San Joaquin, Iloilo,

The independence of Don Felix Serra National High School — Lomboyan
Extension from Don Felix Serra National High School would mean greater
allocation of resources for the said school resulting to improved facilities, higher
quality education and bigger opportunities to more people in Lomboyan, San
Joaquin, lloilo and adjacent barangays, thus, ensuring that the fundamental right
to basic education is protected
