The major findings of this study emphasize the positive outlook, concern for students, and instructional strategies of the Philippine teachers in implementing remote teaching, notwithstanding the abrupt changes in the face of education. Implications of this study gyrate around the concept of contextualizing instructional model in remote instruction which calls for the attention of teachers and curriculum designers.
