It further investigated teacherscoping mechanisms and insights in managing school facilities. I employed the qualitative phenomenological study in exploring the experiences of the ten (10) participants, of which primary instrument of data gathering was through in-depth interview. Major findings indicated that on the perspectives of teachers in managing school facilities, there were three emergent themes, and these are support to teachers and students, budget for school facilities, and utilization of school facilities and infrastructure. Furthermore, after analyzing the responses of the participants about the coping mechanisms of teachers in managing school facilities, the following were the emergent themes namely, maintenance of school facilities, implementation of preventive measures, and assessment on current needs. Finally, the emergent themes on the insights of teachers were enhance student learning, promote health and safety of students and teachers, and intensify the role of school heads in facilities management. These were all crucial with regard to the effective management of school facilities. It implied that school facilities have an effect on student leaming. When students are comfortable, they concentrate better, are more likely to attend class, and may be less susceptible to illness. In addition, it implies that sound fiscal management of limited education resources is crucial to building and sustaining confidence in the public school system among those whose children are its intended beneficiaries.Keywords: Perspectives, school facilities, phenomenology, Tagum City
