I. RATIONALE
With the declaration of State of Public Health Emergency throughout the Philippines last
March 8, 2020 by Pres. Rodrigo R. Duterte by virtue of Presidential Proclamation No. 922, the
government and its instrumentalities are capacitated to immediately act to prevent loss of life,
utilize appropriate resources to implement urgent and critical measures to contain or prevent the
spread of the disease, mitigate its effect and impact to the community, and prevent serious
disruption of the functioning of the government. However, due to the overwhelming increase in
the COVID-19 confirmed cases in the country, a State of Calamity throughout the Philippines
due to Corona Virus Disease 2019 last March 16, 2020 by virtue of Presidential Proclamation
No. 929. Under the declaration, the state is mandated to utilize appropriate funds, including the
Quick response Fund for disaster preparedness and response efforts to contain the spread of
COVID-19 and continue to provide basic services to the affected population and implement
Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) in Luzon and other parts of the country. The State of
Calamity was extended by virtue of Presidential Proclamation No. 1021 dated September 16,
2020.
Despite the hard works of government and private frontliners to curb down the infection,
still, the cases continue to increase. Thus, Republic Act No. 11469 or the “Bayanihan to Heal as
One Act” was approved by Pres. Duterte last March 24, 2020. Several measures to respond and
contain the effects of the pandemic were outlined under the law. Consequently, to ensure the
recovery of the country from the devastation of COVID-19 both in health and economic, the
Congress enacted Republic Act No. 11519 or the “Bayanihan to Recover as One Act” and
approved by Pres. Duterte last December 29, 2020.

Among the salient points in the different executive issuances is to ensure the safety and
security of both teachers and students from the possible spread of the virus. Hence, for the
School Year 2021-2022, Pres. Duterte still announced that no face-to-face shall be conducted in
the basic education. This means that while education continues in both elementary and
secondary levels, distance learning modalities will still be implemented.
However, amidst these changing dynamics, meeting the educational needs of every
learner remains at the core, that is, the learners’ right to education remain protected and non-
negotiable. True to its constitutional mandate of providing Access to Basic Quality Education to
every Filipino, the Department of Education believes that no matter what the odds, education
must continue because the right of education of the learners remains protected and non-
negotiable. The Constitution is very clear that the State shall protect and promote the right of all
citizens to quality education at all levels and shall take appropriate steps to make such education
accessible to all (Sec. 1, Art. XIV of the 1987 Constitution), and therefore, even in the midst of
this pandemic, educating the learners must continue. Hence, this Enhanced Basic Education
Learning Continuity Plan was conceptualized. Along with the LCP of the DepEd, the regional,
division, district and schools are encouraged to translate their continuing vision into a
contextualized Enhanced Learning Continuity Plan (LCP). The LCP would serve as roadmap of
the school in the continuous operation of schools and delivering of basic education within the
period of community quarantine up to reaching the new normal. It is hoped that this
contextualized Enhanced LCP will provide direction of the school in this school year 2021-2022
amidst the crisis we encountered.
Anchored on the DepEd Basic Education – Learning Continuity Plan, Hagonoy National
High School embarked on the contextualization of the Division’s Learning Continuity Plan
through conduct of survey to the parents, learners and other education stakeholders. Series of
____________________________________________________________________________________
interview and focus group discussion among school personnel such as teaching and non-
teaching personnel were conducted. Constant coordination with the Local Government Units is
given prime importance in the development of the Learning Continuity Plan.
Inputs were consolidated, which were guided by principles set by the Department and the
reform agenda embodied under Sulong EduKalidad. These principles are:
1. Protect the health, safety and well-being of learners, teachers and personnel, and prevent
further transmission of COVID 19;
2. Ensure learning continuity through K-12 curriculum adjustments, alignment of learning
materials, deployment of multiple learning delivery modalities, proper orientation of
parents or guardians of learners;
3. Facilitate the safe return of teaching and non-teaching personnel and learners to
workplaces and schools, takin into consideration the scenarios projected by the DOH,
IATF for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases in the Philippines,
complemented by other credible sources, and balanced with DepEd’s own risk
assessments;
4. Be sensitive to equity considerations and concerns and endeavor to address them the best
we can;
5. Link and bridge the Basic Education – Learning Continuity Plan to DepEd’s pivot to
quality and into the future of education, under the framework of Sulong EduKalidad and
Futures Thinking in Education.

Access to internet is a limiting factor to digital learning. This can be mitigated by
implementing asynchronous activities.
Training of teachers and school heads on digital teaching and learning should be
given utmost importance.
