This study used a researcher-made survey questionnaire. The respondents were limited to teachers in the whole Dangcagan District, Division of Bukidnon, SY 2024-2025. The data were treated with descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation, frequency count, percentage, and Pearson r Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. This study revealed that there was a Major Long-Term Impact of the removal of the ancillary tasks among teachers in Dangcagan District, Division of Bukidnon, SY 2024-2025 in terms of Focus on Core Responsibilities, Instructional Quality, Workload and Stress, Collaboration and Professional Development, and Overall Efficiency. The data shows that three-fourths of the respondents had claimed a Very Satisfactory IPCRF during the SY 2023-2024. Then, one-fourth of the respondents claimed an Outstanding IPCRF rating in the same school year. No respondents claimed a Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory rating.

The researcher of this study recommends the following: Educators in the Dangcagan District ought to emphasize the optimization of responsibilities to concentrate on essential jobs, pursue collaboration opportunities, and manage their workload efficiently to improve instructional quality and overall efficacy. Teachers' ought to capitalize on the beneficial effects of eliminating supplementary activities by concentrating on excellence in their primary duties.
