ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between DepEd’s Virtual Kumustahan and Learners’ Well-being. The descriptive method of research was used in this study. One hundred (100) learners from the selected elementary schools in Pila, Laguna Academic Year 2022-2023 were randomly selected to answer a self-made online survey questionnaire for the data gathering procedure. Based on the analysis of the data gathered it was found that the level of Virtual Kumustahan in terms of Preliminary Activities, Lectures, and Consultation was “Very High”. Likewise, it was also revealed that the level of Learners’ Well-being in terms of Spiritual, Emotional, Mental, Physical, and Social was “Very High”. It is thus recommended that DepEd consider interventions like this where teachers can facilitate meaningful conversations that not only delve into learners’ academics but into their overall well-being and are practiced and continued. Such is seen as an effective platform and a proactive approach that allows teachers to connect with their learners on a deeper level to identify and immediately address their challenges and difficulties and promote a supportive community to better meet the learners’ evolving needs.
