Teachers around the globe encountered challenges during the onset of the pandemic. This study, therefore, aimed to identify the challenges faced by the teachers in the Division of Manila amidst sustained global health crisis. This study employed quantitative and qualitative research designs to determine the challenges encountered by the teachers. There were 61 teacher respondents for the survey questionnaire and six head teachers for the online interview. The results showed that teachers encountered several challenges on classroom management, training, resources, technical skills, and communication, and were vouched by the head teachers who shared their perspectives on the aforementioned challenges. While teachers were at their best to deliver the lessons despite various challenges, they needed instructional and administrative supports during this trying time where the situation is entirely new to everyone.
