Watch the video "Why Pinoy Students Ranked Last in Reading?" Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbSEP0Q10Lc Answer comprehensively the following questions based on the watched video 1\) What do the results tell us about the Filipino students? 2\) What may be attributed to these results? 3\) What relevance do studies like this have in the improvement of the teaching-learning process? 1. **What do the results tell us about the Filipino students?** These results indicate that the Filipino students have significant challenges and probles in reading comprehension, ranking last among 79 countries in the PISA study. It suggests a gap or limitations in their ability to process and understand informational texts, which are important for academic success. The 2018 PISA results reveals a concerning deficiency in reading comprehension among the Filipino students, who has ranked last among 79 participating countries. This suggests that Filipino students struggle significantly with understanding and interpreting informational texts, a essential skill for academic and real-world success. The findings and results reflect broader challenges within the Philippine educational system, particularly in harnessing students with the necessary literacy skills to thrive in an increasingly information-driven global environment (Perez, 2018). 2. **What may be attributed to these results?** These results can be linked to a lack of exposures to the informational texts, ineefective educational resources, and insufficient teacher training. The Filipino students are more accustomed to narrative texts, which may not fully prepare them for the demands of modern, information-rich environments both local and Abroad. Several factors may contribute to these poor results. According to Perez (2018), one major issue is the students' limited exposure to informational texts in our system, as the Philippine curriculum primarily focuses on narrative texts only. This narrow focus fails to develop the critical thinking and analytical skills required to understand complex, non-narrative texts. Additionally, the lack of adequate educational resources, particularly in the remote areas, further aggravates the problem. Many schools are deprived of necessary materials such as latest encyclopedias and digital texts, limiting students\' opportunities to practice and improve their reading comprehension (Perez, 2018). 3. **What relevance do studies like this have in the improvement of the teaching-learning process?** Studies like this are best for identifying weaknesses in our education system. They provide data-driven insights that can inform curriculum development, teaching strategies, and resource allocation to be revised accordingly. By understanding these gaps, educators and policymakers can implement targeted interventions to improve literacy and overall academic performances to make an effective and efficient educational system. Studies like the PISA are instrumental in guiding the improvement of the teaching-learning process. By providing data-driven insights, such assessments highlight specific areas where educational interventions are needed. For example, the PISA results highlights the importance of diversifying the types of texts used in instruction to include more informational texts. This can help us develop students\' critical thinking and information literacy skills. In Addition, the results stress the need for better teacher training and resource allocation to support these changes. Finaly, such studies help shape more effective educational policies and practices, leading to improved student outcomes (Perez, 2018). **References:** Perez, F. S.
