This study explored the lived experiences of off-home-base secondary school teachers in Nueva Ecija, focusing on the challenges they encountered, the coping strategies they employed, and the impact of their deployment on their personal and professional lives. A qualitative phenomenological research design was used, and data were gathered through in-depth interviews with purposively selected teachers. The responses were analyzed thematically. The findings revealed four major themes: professional challenges, personal and relational impacts, logistical constraints, and coping mechanisms and support systems. Despite experiencing isolation, financial strain, and difficulties in adjustment, the participants demonstrated resilience through professional collaboration, personal adaptability, and dedication to their vocation. The study recommended the institutionalization of support systems such as mentorship programs, professional development opportunities, and administrative assistance to improve teacher retention, job satisfaction, and instructional quality. These findings underscored the importance of implementing responsive policies that support teachers deployed in remote or underserved areas to enhance overall student learning outcomes.
