Abstract: This study examines the impact of ancillary duties on Filipino teachers, focusing on their workload, job satisfaction, and coping mechanisms. Teachers are tasked with multiple responsibilities beyond instruction, including administrative work, student supervision, and school event coordination. While some find fulfillment in these roles, others experience stress due to the heavy workload. This study employed qualitative research methods, gathering data through in-depth interviews with Filipino teachers. Findings reveal that excessive ancillary duties often compromise instructional quality, forcing teachers to sacrifice lesson preparation and personal time. Many educators struggle with workload management, leading to increased stress and decreased job satisfaction. However, teachers employ strategies such as prioritization, time management, and personal routines to balance responsibilities. Support from colleagues, school heads, and family members also plays a crucial role in alleviating the burden.
