Abstract

The goal of this research was to describe the experiences of teachers in Davao City, Philippines with multiple ancillary functions. Employing phenomenological approach among 18 teacher participants, in-depth interview, and focus group discussion were conducted. Results revealed that most of the participants experienced positive gains from their experiences which challenged them to aspire more advancement for themselves. Themes generated were endurance, perseverance, risk-taking competence, and determination. Coping mechanisms of the participants included proper planning and time management, optimism and positivity, achieving life–work balance, and inspiration and support system. Despite the rigors of life as teachers with multiple ancillary functions, they shared positive insights about their experiences on commitment and dedication, being positive, prospects for growth and development, and as a testament of faith and trust in one’s abilities.
