The law is Republic Act No. 10435. Its purpose is to separate the Tubaran National High School—Digkilaan Annex from Tubaran National High School, convert it into an independent national high school to be known as Digkilaan National High School, and appropriate funds for its operation.
The Tubaran National High School—Digkilaan Annex is separated. The annex is in Barangay Digkilaan, City of Iligan, Province of Lanao del Norte.
It is converted into an independent national high school.
The converted independent national high school shall be known as Digkilaan National High School.
All personnel, assets, liabilities, and records of the Tubaran National High School—Digkilaan Annex are transferred to and absorbed by Digkilaan National High School.
Yes. Section 2 explicitly includes records, personnel, assets, and liabilities in the transfer and absorption.
The Secretary of Education is tasked to immediately include the operationalization of Digkilaan National High School in the Department’s program.
The initial funding shall be charged against the current year’s appropriations of the Tubaran National High School—Digkilaan Annex.
Thereafter, the amount necessary for continued operation shall be included in the annual General Appropriations Act.
The Secretary of Education shall issue such rules and regulations as may be necessary to carry out the purpose of the Act.
It takes effect fifteen (15) days after its publication in the Official Gazette.
It separates the annex from Tubaran National High School, making it an independent national high school (Digkilaan National High School), rather than a part/annex of Tubaran National High School.
Section 2 provides that all liabilities of the Tubaran National High School—Digkilaan Annex are transferred to and absorbed by Digkilaan National High School.
It indicates that the Secretary of Education must act promptly to include the school’s operationalization in the Department’s program, after the Act’s enactment and effectivity.
While not defined in the text, 'absorbed by' generally means that the independent school takes over the annex’s personnel, assets, liabilities, and records as its own, ensuring continuity of operations and accountability under the new entity.
