The following were the results gathered by the researchers
using the questionnaires that were being tabulated and interpreted. 1. On the parents’ perception on printed modular distance learning in terms of: METHODS 1.1. Distribution of Modules Parents agreed that learning modules distribution was carried out generally well. Findings imply that in times like the pandemic, learning could still be possible. 1.2. Retrieval of Modules Parents perceived that the system of retrieval of learning modules was generally acceptable to parents except that they were asking for time extension for their children in finishing all the activities. Parents find the activities too many especially that This study employed a qualitative-descriptive they had several subjects to accomplish. research design. The researchers used statistical 1.3.

The thirty (30) parents were taken as the respondents of this study. IMPLICATION This study is done not only to assess the overall perception of the parents in the implementation of the Distance Learning. It also provided feedback to the school to plan and design a more interactive, engaging and advance strategies for the continuous implementation of Modular Distance Learning. Also, the researchers believed that education must continue even amidst the pandemic.
