History :

Way back in 1997, when the supervision and control over the Southern Iloilo Polytechnic College was transferred from the Department of Education, Culture and Sports to the Commission on Higher Education, numerous problems cropped up especially the imposition that the SIPC High School Department must only admit 150 students per year level.

 As a temporary stop-gap measure, the Palaca-Damilisan National High School – SIPC Extension was established on that same year through the initiative of Mr. Eduardo P. Moreno, PDNHS Principal, and the full support of the Municipal Government through Mayor Julieta N. Flores. The hiring of several teachers was prioritized by the Municipal School Board to augment the teaching staff and a sizable portion of the Local School Board Fund was allocated for the salaries and other benefits of the teachers. Through the untiring requests and representations of Mayor Flores, the Iloilo Provincial Government, through Governor Arthur D. Defensor, provided financial assistance for the hiring of additional teachers, procurement of school facilities and the construction of a school building.

 A more permanent solution to the problem was also formulated in 1997. On that same year, the creation and establishment of the Miagao National High School was sought by the Local Administration. The Municipal Government adopted a two-pronged approach: one was through the administrative or executive method wherein representations with DECS and other agencies were made by Mayor Julieta Flores and the Sangguniang Bayan and the other method was through legislative representations. Whichever method causes the creation and establishment of the MNHS shall mean victory for Miagao.

            On August 22, 2000 Republic Act No. 8879 entitled “An Act Establishing a National High School in the Municipality of Miagao, Province of Iloilo to be Named as the Miagao National High School” was enacted by the 11th Congress of the Philippines. It was learned that the expeditious establishment of the MNHS was made possible through the full assistance and support of then Senate President Franklin M. Drilon who is an avid benefactor of Miagao, Senator Teresa Aquino-Oreta who is the Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Education, Arts and Culture and Representative Ninfa S. Garin of the First Congressional District of Iloilo who introduced House Bill No. 4575 that was necessary in the establishment of the MNHS.

1.2 Academic Support System

In the school they have a big blackboard and some classes use whiteboard also. Some of the class also provided with the television, but if there is no television in the class the teacher may use LCD and speaker in teaching their students. There are 34 number of classes in the school. Every class have at least 3 to 4 fan and the classroom is big enough to placed 45 to 47 students . The classroom also were decorate beautifully and meaningfully  by the the teacher and the students because  in every class we can find their own information board deals with the subject teach by the teacher. The School also provide the students with students’ guidance book but the students are not allowed to bring the book back to their home. In the first floor of the school building we can find “Cadampig Teen Center” during the vacant time the students can use the room or the teen center to do something that they like such as reading, drawing, hanging with friends and etc. The other things that really interesting about the school academic support system is we can find that the school is very “Go Green” because we can find the flower garden along the way from the office room until the students classroom, they do recycle and turn it into beautiful garden and of course it’s a very good character education for the students also.

Teaching and learning process 

1.4 Materials and Other Learning Sources

The school provide guidance book for the teaching and learning process. Every subject have 2 books. The first book for the teacher and the second book for the students but the students are not allowed to bring the book with them after the class. The other learning sources is the material from the internet such as e- book, journals, picture or video that the teacher can use in teaching and learning process in order to make the students more interest to the topic and easy to understand the material. We also wish to use the other application in teaching such as Quipper, Kahoot and etc but deals with the internet connection problem in the school which is limited so that it’s still impossible to implement those applications in teaching and learning process.

1.5 Measurement and Evaluation System

For measurement and evaluation, the school and the teacher still using question sheet paper even though they do hope that they can use application such as Quipper to make the measurement and evaluation more easier and effective but since there is still limited internet connection in the school so it’s take time to implement that way in the school.

1.6 Curriculum

The Curriculum that used by the Miagao National High School is K to 12 Basic Educational Curriculum. The curriculum aims to help learners acquire highly developed literacy skills that enable them to understand that English language is the most widely used medium of communication in Trade, and the Arts, Science, Mathematics and in world economy. Furthermore, the curriculum aims to help learners understand that English language is a dynamic social process which responds to and reflect changing social conditions and that English is inextricably involved with values, beliefs and ways of thinking about ourselves and the world we dwell in. Through multi-literacy skills, learners will be able to appreciate and be sensitive to social cultural diversity and understand that the meaning of any form of communication depends on context, purpose and audience.

1.7 Teaching Plan

In Miagao National High School I teach English subject and I find out that they use two version of lesson plan or teaching plan, the first one is “Detail Lesson Plan” and the second one is “DLL (Daily Lesson Log)”. During my practice teaching, my cooperative teacher suggest me to use detail lesson plan so that I learn how to make detail lesson plan with format that they usually use because honestly their lesson plan is very different with the lesson plan or teaching plan that we use in Indonesia. In Indonesia we have more complicated and complex lesson plan compare with Philippines.
