Consequently, the aim is to establish a model that will help teachers adequately address students' needs in response to the new normal. The study made use of a Likert-scale type questionnaire to measure the digital pedagogical readiness of the teachers. The instrument has been validated and found to score 0.867 in the Cronbach's alpha reliability test. Findings reveal that PE Teachers in Cluster VI described themselves to be ready in terms of digital pedagogy in response to the new normal. Moreover, all the perceived problems indicated that although the teachers are ready to host digital pedagogical content, many factors still hinder the PE Teachers' readiness in the approaching school year. The perceived problems were Personal Technical Competence (4.03), Institutional Support (3.19), Financial and Logistical Requirements (3.22), Connectivity (3.94), and Learners' Readiness and Capacity (4.16). Three proactive strategic measures were suggested to address the digital pedagogical readiness of PE Teachers, namely: (1) Addressing the Lack of Personal Technical Competence, (2) Increasing Institutional Support, and (3) Encouraging Learners in the Adaption of Online Learning. Ultimately, a proposed model was created using proactive strategic measures addressing teachers' digital pedagogical readiness. Implications include the unavoidable hindrances in hosting online content like lack of network coverage, connectivity, and inability to purchase online classes.
