The COVID-19 virus-caused catastrophe has far-reaching consequences for virtually every societal sector, including education. Schools were closed in every area of the Philippines. There are many modifications to DepEd school rules, tutoring/caring methods, staff presence in schools, and instructional arrangements. There are, nevertheless, certain common measurements. For example, during the first part of the school lockout, teachers were only permitted to regurgitate previously taught material. It was not designed to teach new material. However, this was altered during the school lockdown, and new curricular material has been provided. The term "online management" is often used in daily conversation. Its meaning may refer to a profession or a system. Online Management may be considered a system since it consists of many components or processes that include planning, organizing, executing, regulating, and evaluating activities that are carried out to establish and accomplish specified objectives via the utilization of available human resources. A manager must develop excellent online management skills to accomplish a goal. Because of the extensive use of the internet, teachers may create teaching and learning activities using the online system. The term "online learning" is often used interchangeably with terms like "e-learning," "internet learning," "virtual learning," "computer-assisted learning," "web-based learning," and "distance learning," all of which refer to the presence of a distance between the teacher and the students. The online learning system is used to enhance learning quality. The dissemination of learning content through electronic media or the internet so that students may access it at any time and from any location is an essential idea in e-learning. A customizable learning environment and mood may also be established. To reap the anticipated advantages of online learning, every important actor in the process must collaborate. School principals are key players in the adoption of online learning since they are the primary decision-makers in their schools. As a result, the success of this new learning method is inextricably linked to the principals' leadership styles.
