HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

//According to barangay folks, Malaguip Integrated School started as a barangay school in 1926 for the purpose of educating the youth of the remote barangays of Paoay, Iocos Norte, namely: barangay 26, Oaig-Upay-Abulao; barangay 19,Masintoc; barangay 25, Callaguip and barangay 23, Bacsil. It was in 1932 that the school formally started as Malaguip Elementary School.// //Malaguip got its name from the combination of two adjacent barangays where the school is situated. The two barangays are Masintoc and Callaguip. Location-wise, the school is within barangay Masintoc where it is near the boundary between Masintoc and barangay Callaguip.// //The school site which has an area of 1.943 hectares was donated by some civic-spirited citizens of the community to the Municipal Government of Paoay. On December 5, 2000 the lot was acquired by the Department of Education through a Deed of Donation from the Municipality of Paoay.// //The School Principals who took over the reins of the school before September 4, 2009 were Mr. Florencio Blanco, Mr. Vicente D. Quitoriano, Mrs. Felicidad Mariano, Mr. Alfredo Asuncion, Mr. Wilson Pobre, Mrs. Rosario T. Clemente and Mrs. Antonia Z. Sadio. Mr. Alexander L. Lino, Principal I, started his administration in September 4, 2009.// //It is in May 2011 that the high school integration in the elementary curriculum was conceptualized. With the concerted efforts of the Parents Teachers Association PTA and the Local Government Unit of Paoay, pertinent documents were prepared and submitted to the Department of Education, Regional Office for approval.// //In June 2011, the school was transformed into Malaguip Integrated School in order to provide a better access to higher basic education particularly to the service areas where most families are generally identified as indigents.// //Thirty-three freshmen composed the first enrollees in high school who held classes in the Technology and Home Economics Building of the elementary department.// //In its second year of operation as an integrated school, high school enrolment was increased to 82 where 46 and 36 students are grade 7 and second year students respectively. The enrolment in the elementary level also significantly increased from 209 (June 2009) to 352 (June 2012).// //During the School Year 2012-2013, Malaguip was physically transformed because of the construction of 2 five-classroom buildings (one from Megaworld foundation and the other, from the funds of Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation) and 2 one-classroom buildings (one from DepEd and one from the Special Education fund of the municipal government of Paoay).// //The Megaworld building with facilities (water system, audio-visual equipment, furniture and covered walk was donated through its Chairman, Mr. Andrew L. Tan of the Megaworld Foundation and the PAGCor building fund was channeled to DepEd Central office through its President, Hon. Cristino Naguiat and Chief Operations officer, Hon. Jorge Sarmiento.// //Linkages to these benevolent donors were not possible if not for the magnanimous effort and support of Mrs. Luz Reyno Carpio, the former district supervisor of Paoay District, Atty. Alfonso Reyno, Mr. Alberto Reyno and the Hon. Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales. - alino//
