Online learning requires either internet connection or mobile data, mobile gadgets and stable signal. It will surely leave most students behind due to incapacity to comply. Spending money on these requisites while struggling on their family’s necessities in the course of the pandemic is dissipation especially this dreadful time, bearing that Philippines is one of the countries with slowest and disruptive internet connection in Asia with only 48% access nationwide. 
 

       Even though the modules and printed materials will be delivered to homes, this roughly passes the burden to students and parents with the risk of not being sure if one is able to comprehend a module. 
 

      Raising with the concern of the unenrolled students, the number was 12 million pupils short of the 28 million that was earlier pronounced by Briones. If today’s dismal enrollment speaks volume, how much more would it get as the pandemic continuously ravels. The number of the students that will be left behind are those who don’t have access and privilege to the new normal. This will be anti-poor. 
   Rather than prioritizing the public health, safety and security, this brings another crisis. Constraining teachers to prepare for another semester will surely put them into another chaos, considering that they are part of families supplying the needs of their members. This will burden them workloads and will struggle on keeping an eye to students, especially during exams.
