August 22, 2000.
The House of Representatives finally passed the bill on March 27, 2000, and the Senate on June 8, 2000.
Yes. It specifies Barangay Kapatagan, Municipality of Laac, Compostela Valley Province. This is important to identify the exact school annex intended for conversion.
It converts the annex into and makes it known as the national high school, implying the annex ceases to be an annex in name/status and becomes a national high school under DECS supervision.
It signals that funding must be appropriated through the budget process—specifically through inclusion in the General Appropriations Act of the following year, not automatically from the Act itself.
The statute becomes effective immediately upon the date the President approved it, unless otherwise limited by the statute’s text.
Because at the time of the Act’s enactment, the agency responsible was DECS; changes in nomenclature/structure over time do not change the intent that the Department of Education will supervise.
