During the COVID-19 pandemic, students around the world have had to adapt to
online learning as a means of continuing their education. In the Philippines, the shift to
online learning has been particularly challenging for grade 12 students at Army's Angel
Integrated School due to slow and unreliable internet connections. A bad internet
connection not only affects the students' ability to attend virtual classes, but it also impacts
their academic performance. Having a slow and unreliable internet connection can be
frustrating and inefficient for students. The limited access to online resources, coupled
with the difficulty in completing online assignments and tests, can hinder students' ability
to perform to their full potential. This is especially true for research-based assignments
that require extensive online research. In addition, the unreliable internet connection can
also affect the student’s ability to comprehend their teacher's instructions during virtual
classes. The constant disruptions and disconnections can cause students to miss
important information, which can negatively impact their academic performance. Given
these challenges, it is important to investigate the effects of slow and unreliable internet
Integrated School during the pandemic. Understanding the impact of poor internet
connectivity on student learning can help educators and policymakers develop strategies
to mitigate its negative effects and promote better learning outcomes for students.

Edgardo Toledo (2022) states that despite numerous internet service providers,
Filipinos have expressed dismay over the country’s current internet connectivity. A survey

During implementing blended learning in schools, DepEd also acknowledged how the
slow internet connection affects Filipino students and teachers. Department of Information
and Communications Technology (DICT) Secretary Ivan John Uy said they aim to renew
and reactivate the Free Wi-Fi for All – Free Public Internet Access Program. The
Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) and DICT are also working
together to build satellite connectivity to support the country’s digital transformation and
economic recovery.
Due to the effect of the current pandemic that the world is experiencing, the
educational system swiftly remedied the problem of student learning. This study assessed
the students' internet connection capability and the availability of learning devices at their
homes. The researchers used a descriptive cross-sectional research design with the
online survey as the primary tool for data gathering. Based on the results of the survey,
70% of the students have internet access at home. On the other hand, smartphone tops

The term "statistical treatment" is a catch-all term that means applying any
statistical method to your data. Treatments are divided into two groups: descriptive
statistics, which summarize your data as a graph, or statistics and inferential statistics,

As soon as the researchers gathered the data, they were compiled, sorted,
organized, and tabulated. They were subject to statistical treatment in order to answer
the questions proposed in the study. The statistical tool employed was the frequency and
