The study also aimed to identify strategies and interventions that can help teachers better handle these challenges. The study involved eight participants, including seven teachers and one student aged 14 years old. The data for the study were collected through individual interviews, which were conducted in a private and comfortable setting, either in person or via video conferencing.

Additionally, the study found that the integration of MAPEH with other subjects, such as mathematics and science, posed a significant challenge for teachers. To address these challenges, the study identified several strategies and interventions, such as the need for more resources, professional development opportunities for teachers, and the involvement of parents and school administrators in MAPEH education. The study has several limitations, including a small sample size and a limited geographical scope, which may not be representative of the experiences of teachers in other divisions or regions. However, the findings of the study provide valuable insights into the challenges faced by MAPEH teachers and how these challenges can be addressed to improve the quality of MAPEH education. The study suggests that there is a need for more support and resources for MAPEH teachers in the Division of Toledo City and highlights the importance of involving school administrators and parents in MAPEH education
