RA 8310 separates the Barangay Oringao Extension Class/Extension High School (in Kabankalan, Negros Occidental) from the Binicuil High School and designates it as a distinct school known as the Florentino Galang, Sr. National High School.
It is separated from the Binicuil High School.
The separated school shall henceforth be known as the Florentino Galang, Sr. National High School.
It is located in the Municipality of Kabankalan, Province of Negros Occidental.
The Act takes effect upon its approval.

The doctrine under Section 27(1), Article VI of the 1987 Constitution on presidential action: if the President does not sign within the constitutionally prescribed period, the bill becomes law as though signed.
It provides that the amount necessary for implementation shall be charged against the current year’s appropriations of the Binicuil National High School–Barangay Oringao Extension High School.
Thereafter, the sums necessary for the operation and maintenance of Florentino Galang, Sr. National High School shall be included in the annual General Appropriations Act.
Section 1 is the operative provision that effects the separation and the naming/recognition of the new school as Florentino Galang, Sr. National High School.
No. While implementation costs are charged to the current year’s appropriations, future operation and maintenance funds are to be included in the annual General Appropriations Act.
It limits the initial implementation funding to existing/current appropriations tied to the former configuration, implying that new recurring costs for the renamed school will require inclusion in later General Appropriations.
It specifically addresses the separation of a particular barangay extension high school from a named parent school and its renaming as a new national high school, including the appropriation/funding provisions for that separation.
As a statute, it has legislative authority to alter school organization and provide funding directives; administrative issuances under Section 2 must implement (not contradict) the law.
