Establishing an integrated school in the aforementioned locality will allow learners to complete their Junior High School education within their community, thereby improving access to basic education and helping ensure continuity in learning. The existing school has the capacity to support this proposed transition, with available classrooms, space for future expansion, and the necessary educational resources and personnel to deliver quality secondary-level instruction. The proposal also enjoys the support of local officials, parents, and the broader community. In view of the foregoing, the passage of the measure is respectfully requested. FRANCIS G. ESCUDERO
