Abstract
The purpose of my study was to find out the experiences of elementary school teachers as they implemented the Operation Baklas as mandated by the Department of Education all over the country. This study used qualitative research employing phenomenology. Interviews were conducted with a group of individuals who have first-hand knowledge of an event, situation, or experience. This study was conducted at Balisong, Talomo, Santo Tomas Davao del Norte as they implemented the program. Operation Baklas, an initiative aimed at removing campaign materials and ensuring a clean and orderly school environment during election periods, has significant effects on elementary teachers. While the operation serves a broader societal purpose, it impacts teachers emotionally, professionally, and socially. The following discussion explores its effects on five key aspects: Emotional Impact, Compliance and Adaptation, Challenge of Change, Student Positive Response, and School Positive Impression.
