This paper presents the challenges of the TVL students while performing the performance tasks. Phenomenology was used to gather data from the interviews of 15 TVL students from La Filipina National High School. Results revealed that students faced the following challenges: has little knowledge of the task, lack of resources, difficulties with technology, environmental disruption, and conflict of time. However, these challenges have been coped with by managing time, seeking help from others, and looking for financial resources. The results implied that teachers, heads, supervisors, and administrators play an essential role in the actualization of the goals and in helping the students overcome the challenges in the new normal. Also, the study gives awareness, insights, and suggestions that may be useful in providing quality education to TVL students
