Are students truly prepared for the "new normal?" The appearance of the COVID-19
pandemic has changed educational system, driving schools to unexpectedly move to online
classes in line of face-to-face classroom setup. In the Philippines, the Covid-19 emergency has
influenced about 27 million students, 1 million educators and non-showing staff, just as the
groups of students (Obana, J. 2020). As the world keeps on wrestling with the impacts of this
irresistible and lethal infection – undermining economy and guaranteeing many lives – changing
to distance learning is the most feasible option up until now (Alipio, 2020; Baticulon, Alberto,
Baron, Mabulay, Rizada, Sy, Tiu, Clarion and Reyes, 2020). The current circumstance presents
incredible difficulties to instructive organizations in the Philippines, yet all through the world.
The limitations what's more, local area quarantine forced on numerous spaces especially in the
nation have left understudies with barely any choice however to go to online classes. With the
goal for students to proceed with training, the Department of Education (DepEd) and different
foundations have carried out online distance learning. Online Distance Learning highlights the
innovations got to through the web while they are geologically remote from one another during
guidance (Llego, 2020). Before the implementation, DepEd has been bombarded with criticisms,
with some throwing back the question on whether DepEd and other instructive foundations are

foundations were certain that Online Distance Learning will work in the Philippines. As per
schooling official, around 93% of state funded schools cross country as of now have gadgets that
will be utilized in the internet learning methodology for the school year 2020-20121 (Hernando-

Slack, 2015; Gilbert, 2015; Arinto, 2016; Gillet-Swan, 2017; Dubey and Piroska, 2019;
Baticulon et al., 2020). However, much exploration had been done with regards to online
distance learning even before the pandemic, its utilization in the essential level presently couldn't
seem to be concentrated more due to the extremely restricted sources. There is likewise a lack of

China, and has spread rapidly across the globe within a few months. Coronavirus is an irresistible
infection brought about by another strain of Covid that assaults the respiratory framework
(World Wellbeing Association, 2020). As of January 2021, Coronavirus has tainted 94 million
individuals and has caused 2 million passing’s in 191 nations and domains (John Hopkins

showing conventions, and changed their educational programs. In any case, the progress was
smooth for certain schools however unpleasant for other people, especially those from non-
industrial nations with restricted foundation (Pham and Nguyen, 2020; Simbulan, 2020).
Unavoidably, schools and other learning spaces had to relocate to full online learning as the
world proceeds with the fight to control the awful spread of the infection. Online learning alludes
to a learning climate that utilizes the online and other mechanical gadgets and devices for
coordinated and offbeat informative conveyance and the board of scholarly projects (Usher and

government instruction offices and schools mixed to make secure approaches on administration

regular showing conveyance, were additionally obliged to accept innovation despite their
absence of mechanical proficiency. To resolve this issue, online learning online classes and
friend emotionally supportive networks were dispatched. With respect to the understudies,
dropout rates expanded due to monetary, mental, and scholarly reasons. Scholastically, although
it is for all intents and purposes workable for understudies to learn anything internet, learning
may maybe be not exactly ideal, particularly in courses that expect vis-à-vis contact and direct
The Philippines isn't the main nation dealing with these issues. Its Southeast Asian

The reason many students before covid stop studying is because of their lack of
resources. While online programs have critical qualities and deal exceptional openness to quality
education, there are shortcomings intrinsic in the utilization of this medium that can present

hope to succeed, it should have understudies who can get to the internet learning climate. Lack of

access, regardless of whether it be intended for financial or calculated reasons, will avoid in any
case qualified understudies from the course. This is a critical issue in rustic and lower financial
areas. Besides, talking according to a managerial perspective, if understudies can't bear the cost
of the innovation the foundation utilizes, they are lost as clients. Taking everything into account,
it isn't all inclusive, and in certain spaces of the US and different nations, Internet access
represents a huge expense for the client. A few clients pay a proper month to month rate for their
online program, while others are charged for the time they spend on the web. In case the
members' time online is restricted by the measure of online access they can bear, then, at that
point, guidance and investment in the online program won't be fair for all understudies in the
course.

Research Design
The Descriptive method was used in this study. Descriptive research is quantitative in nature
as it attempts to collect information and statistically analyze it. Descriptive research is a powerful
research tool that permits a researcher to collect data and describe the demographics of the same

research that is used to describe the characteristics of a population. It collects data that are used
to answer a wide range of what, when, and how questions pertaining to a particular population or
group. A variety of data collection methods may be used alone or in combination to answer the
types of questions guiding descriptive research. Some of the more common methods include
