This study aims to investigate the readiness of teachers on the Learning Resources on Wi-Fi Hub for Expanded e-Learning (LR on WHEeLs) as a flexible learning option to expand the reach of e-learning to far-flung villages, particularly those outside of the service coverage of major telecommunications companies and internet service providers. Quantitative research is employed in this study using an online survey questionnaire in the collection of data. Also, Alegria National High School teachers were the respondents selected through purposive sampling. The data collected were analyzed statistically using weighted mean. The teachers’ readiness on LR on WHEeLs anchored to the uses of ICT revealed the following; firstly, the professional development on ICT is provided by the school staff and the department of a whole. Secondly, the uses of ICT based activities and materials used for teaching is often used, and finally, teachers were confident on their skills on ICT. These are indication that majority of the teacher-respondents had adjusted to the so called 21st -century learners. However, it is also discovered that the problems encountered by participants on the usage of LR on WHEeLs includes the lack of interest of teachers, no or unclear benefit of using ICT on teaching and learning, and lack of adequate content/materials. Therefore, proper reinforcement through training, orientation and seminar and provision of the needed support and materials for the usage of LR on WHEeLs must be provided to the teachers
