Meanwhile, Arnold Jaraba, DepEd Calbayog City division focal person for K to 12 program said that DepEd will establish a separate campus for the said field of study, aside from the existing national high schools that will offer senior high school programs.

According to Jaraba, all students from different parts of Eastern Visayas who has interest in arts will enroll in the said school, but only limited to at least 160 students.
