HOW THE SCHOOL'S NAME WAS CHANGED TO "JRLMHS"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Based on earlier published research, the (school's) name change to
"Juan R. Liwag Memorial HIgh School" was initiated by an individual
who was running for a local office (in Gapan) and who was seeking the
favor of the late then Senator Juan Liwag. The motion for the name
change was submitted to a Gapan municipal panel and was approved. The
approved motion was then taken by our district’s Congressman (at that
time) to a House panel and was approved. Note that during all these
governmental “submittals and approvals”, there was no public
discussion of the proposed change nor were the general school alumni
consulted nor did the alumni who knew (if any) put up an opposition to
the motion.

An important item to note: In the Gapan City government, there is a
process to have a public school’s name changed. That process can
always be used - by a and/or interested party(s) - to change a public
facility's name to something else.
