Law Summary

Official Recognition and Usage of the New Name

The school shall be officially recognized by its new name in all legal, educational, and administrative contexts.
All future references, documents, and pertinent communications shall use "Toledo S. Pantilo, Sr. Memorial National High School" to identify the institution.

Notification to the Department of Education, Culture and Sports

The Department of Education, Culture and Sports (DECS), along with all related instrumentalities, must be formally notified of the change in the school’s name.
This ensures the proper update of official records, correspondence, and educational planning that involves the institution.

Effectivity of the Act
