learners is now on senior high. The researchers heard
subjective cues that the student may feel the classifications of
struggles but mostly the pressure of having additional activities

the researchers to choose this topic to know the insights.
The Iligan City East National High School (ICENHS) is
located at Barangay Sta. Filomena Iligan City. It was
established in the year 1985 and it is formerly called Regional

Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM), Basic
Education Curriculum (BEC), and Special Program in the Arts
(SPA) and now the school offers Senior High School

students but at the same time, the experience because k-12
