This research assessed the implementation of MTB-MLE among graders at public elementary schools in Consolacion District, Cebu during the school year 2018-2019 as a basis for development plan. It utilized descriptive survey using questionnaires as a method of obtaining data and was statistically treated using percentage, weighted mean, and Spearman's rho correlation. The study applied a modified questionnaire according to teachers' practices in MTB-MLE. From the input, a questionnaire was developed and distributed to the distinguished Grade I, II, and III teachers of the three schools: Bagong Elementary School, Cansaga Elementary School, and Garing Elementary School in Consolacion District. The following were the findings of the study: The extent of application of the program in terms of the Input, which included the respondents' profile and level of implementation, was very well implemented; Process, which looked into the extent of implementation of teachers' perception and practices as to objectives/competencies, bridging practices, and preparation of instructional materials, was also carried out very well; Output, learners' performance, which appraised their level of classroom independence and social competence, shows a satisfactory rating regardless of their school type. There was no significant difference among the teachers' perception and practices and learners' performance. Lack of audio-visual materials (TV, laptop, speaker, internet connection, etc.) frequently hindered the implementation process. Based on the judgment, it can be concluded that the MTB-MLE program was very well implemented in schools in terms of objectives/competencies, bridging practices, and preparation of instructional materials; learners' performance, which reflected according to their school type, does not affect what group they belong to.
