Vincent Garcia na palitan na ang pambansang bulaklak na Sampaguita at gawin itong Waling-waling.

Ikinatuwiran ni Rep. Garcia sa kanyang House Bill No. 2326 na hindi orihinal na nagmula sa Pilipinas ang Sampaguita dahil ito ay native ng India at Arabia samantalang ang Waling-waling ay mula mismo sa Pilipinas.

Naging national flower ng bansa ang Sampaguita dahil sa Executive Proclamation No. 652 ni Gov. Frank Murphy noong Pebrero 1, 1934.

With the overload of information pouring in daily, children’s grades are affected because of the constantly changing curriculum.
