He added despite his degree in Computer Science, he admittedly has struggles grasping the online class set up.
Kung ako nga nalilito sa online class nang anak ko, ano pa kaya yung mga bata? Ps. I graduated B.S in Computer Science, we made programs, games, tech stuff etc. I shoot and edit our own music videos. knows finalcut, photoshop, AE, Ai, Corel Draw, AutoCAD, Logic Pro, etc.

He also replied to a netizen on Twitter who apologized on behalf of teachers who are also struggling with the online class set up during the new normal. He notes that teachers, students, and parents can help each other out by being considerate.
Wala po kayong dapat ipag hingi nang paumanhin. These are hard times too, we know, for teachers. We could all help each other; students, parents, and teachers by understanding and being considerate to each other. ❤️❤️❤️ https://t.co/WGvFUOLiQ2

With the pandemic, both the Department of Education and Commission on Higher Education have agreed on implementing online classes to accommodate the New Normal.b
Not everyone can afford an online class set up and most parents, students, and teachers are still struggling with the New Normal setup wherein classes are to be done at home through the online conference.
Netizens, teachers, students, and parents have also voiced out their struggles with the online classes via Twitter. Most of their complaints were about either the schedules, the interface, or the instructions in classes.
