“…Furthermore, due to limited Internet connectivity, students may use more of the free affordances of social media sites (e.g. messaging functions) to engage in class [theme 4], instead of the formal online learning management systems that would require higher bandwidths (Cho et al, 2021). Furthermore, evidence has noted lower levels of daily health promotive activities among students from lower socioeconomic status, due to their lack of alternatives while in confinement during community quarantine, while their economically privileged counterparts had more resources to meet their psychological and health promotive needs (Cleofas, 2021).…”

“…In addition, workloads at home increased, with women bearing more of the burden. Much of that increased workload consisted of childcare and help with schooling, especially in remote areas with poor internet connectivity and no interaction with teachers (Cho et al 2021). Survey data of Philippine households indicate that 40 per cent of women spent more time at home on at least three activities related to unpaid domestic work due to the pandemic, compared with 32 per cent of men (UN Women and Women Count 2020).…”

“…1 As in the majority of countries, both morbidity and mortality from COVID-19 in the Philippines have affected men more than women: in April 2021, 53 per cent of confirmed COVID-19 cases and 60 per cent of deaths were male, compared with global averages of 54 per cent for COVID-19 cases and 59 per cent for deaths. 2 However, emerging evidence suggests that the gender differential is reversed in the burden imposed by containment policies, especially in terms of women's employment losses, relatively greater unpaid care work burden at home, mental health and domestic violence (UN Women and Women Count 2020; Cho et al 2021; De los Santos and Labrague 2021).…”

The COVID‐19 pandemic and the resulting containment policies have hit the Philippines harder than most developing countries. The government lockdown is among the strictest in the world, and blanket school closures are the lengthiest. This article uses a novel simulation model to estimate the gendered and regional impacts of these factors on labour, income and poverty, and a case study of school closures points to the losses in employment among private school teachers and in the income of parents with young children. The authors find that the pandemic has had unprecedented implications for economic activity and has disproportionately affected women.

“…Such initiatives have helped mobilize the utilization of digital platforms and other technologies in classrooms. Likewise, they have been instrumental in supplementing the modular learning adopted by public schools to enhance student learning in various subject areas during the pandemic (Cho et al, 2021;Potane, 2022). Accordingly, the country's education is starting to focus on using ICT through the Digital Rise Program which equips classrooms, teachers, and students with online learning resources (Llego, 2020).…”

This study examines school heads' digital leadership as a predictor of teachers' job satisfaction in the Philippines during the pandemic. A total of 520 public school teachers across the 16 regions of the country answered the validated online survey questionnaires between March and May 2022. With the descriptive-predictive research design, descriptive statistics, and regression analysis, the study finds that school heads have a satisfactory level of digital leadership as perceived by their teachers. This finding suggests that Filipino school heads can, at least to a satisfactory level, guide their schools and stakeholders toward digital transformation to remain adaptable and competitive in a rapidly changing digital and social media landscape. Furthermore, Filipino teachers experienced satisfactory job satisfaction during the pandemic, which suggests that they continue to cope with and adapt to the new work and educational changes despite the plethora of challenges and transitions. Finally, this study reveals that school heads' digital leadership predicts teachers' job satisfaction. When leaders are competent to lead and model in the digital age, their subordinates become more satisfied with their work. Therefore, training programs for improving school heads' digital leadership are necessary to enhance their teachers' job satisfaction, especially since technology plays a significant part in diverse educational activities.
