As Covid-19 hit globally and affected various sectors of society, educational institutions and leaders needed to navigate and examine different learning modalities and instructional approaches, including online learning methods. While alert level 1 is currently in effect, High School-Senior Department, started a new normal set-up and considered the conduct of limited face-to-face classes applying a hybrid type of teaching and learning process.
This study utilized a fish bone diagram to determine the problems encountered during its implementation in a limited time and analyses on its implementation like the challenges encountered, strengths and weaknesses manifested, opportunities observed, and recommendations for further improvement.
The results showed that it is crucial to concentrate on capacity building of teachers and their professional development and familiarity on various traditional and online teaching and learning approaches, e-learning resources, and tools to facilitate effectively. Provision of good and stable internet connectivity and durable digital devices both for students and teachers must be addressed seriously.
Online technology is precious for teaching and learning to close digital divide. Moreover, having LMS may be considered among the public schools since leading countries and schools already adopted and tested it successfully. High degree of emergency readiness is also needed among the stakeholders of schools. This includes proper resource allocation, continuous quality improvement among teachers, rigorous implementation of safety and health protocols, and creation of class programs beneficial for teachers and students.

Research Objectives and Themes
This study aims to examine the implementation of a hybrid learning model at Manila High School during the COVID-19 pandemic. By identifying the challenges, strengths, and weaknesses of combining limited face-to-face instruction with online delivery, the research seeks to provide evidence-based recommendations for educational administrators to improve instructional quality and support systems.
- Transformation of instructional modalities during the pandemic.
- Evaluation of hybrid learning effectiveness through SWOT and fishbone analysis.
- Identification of technological, financial, and environmental challenges.
- Strategies for teacher empowerment and professional development.
- Policies for sustainable and inclusive hybrid educational practices.
Excerpt from the Book
Research Question #2. What are the challenges encountered by students and teachers as they transition to hybrid learning?
Fishbone diagram was used to present the problems encountered by teachers and students as they transition to hybrid teaching ang learning process. These problems came from the responses of participants during the collection of data. The diagram presented below highlights the problems by category such as finances, methods, technology, facility, environment, and person.
When Covid-19 hits, many were affected financially for losing their business and jobs. Families suddenly face great dilemma on how to provide the basic needs of their children. Added to the burden is their concern on the expenses of distance learning. Majority of the participants of the study raised their worry for budget on data allocation and transportation allowance for those attending limited face-to-face.
Some students needed to look for part-time jobs to support their families and studies thus ending to irregular attendance.
