terms of academic performance of learners, group of teachers still viewed it as "High" while group of parents viewed it as "Very High" 2.) There is a significant difference between the assessments of the group of teachers and parents on the Homework Policy. The test reveals that the null hypothesis is rejected. 3.) There is a significant relationship between the Study Habits and Academic Performance of Learners. The null hypothesis is generally rejected findings. This implies a very strong relationship between the study habits and academic performance of learners 4) Majority of the teachers and parents participant in the Focused Group Discussion agreed that it is good to give an assignment during weekdays but in a limited subjects meaning to say that not all subject will be given to the learners in one day only just to enhance their skills but not on weekend because it is the only time for them to relax Teachers should be given more additional learning activities every day to the learners. 5.) The researcher came up for the proposed program for school year 2019-2020 entitled "Advocacy Learning Program to improve the quality of education and promote a happy learners

Based on the findings and conclusions of this study the following recommendations are considered. 1.) The researcher recommend that teachers should give an assignment during weekdays but in a limited amount so that there are still continuous learning 2.) Teachers may also give more activities during class discussions so that there is no need to give an assignment during weekend and they have enough time to relax and enjoy their childhood days. 3.) Get parents involved, without the homework being a point of conflict with learners. Make it a sharing of information, rather than a battle. 4.) Other researchers may also use two different sections, the first section may have a homework while the other section may not be given to. 5.) Make a program that will help the learners to improve the academic performance and study habits of learners even though that there is a homework policy.
