Abstract : The study explored the lived experiences of teachers teaching music, arts, physical education and health in the island of Mindanao, province of Bukidnon, Philippines. The study focuses on how the PEHM teachers teach Music, Art, PE, Health as to content knowledge, strategy, use of instructional materials and assessment. Qualitative research using phenomenological approach was used in the study. The participants were chosen purposively. The study made use of Collaizzi’s(1978) model. Lack ofcompetencies in the specializations of teachers teaching MAPEH was evident. Graduate education has to offer programs that would address the necessary competencies of teachers. The 21st Century Skills are wanting in the field of teaching MAPEH. Teachers’ knowledge, skills and competencies in MAPEH could notbe strengthened effectively and efficiently through seminars and workshops only. HEIs could offer courses that would addressthe needs of the MAPEH teachers contextualizing the lessons and emphasizing the 21st Century Skills particularly the critical thinking skills integrating technology. With the Special Program in the Arts tract in the K to 12 Curriculum andthe program offering of CHED in the Bachelor of Culture and Arts Education, the Graduate Education could help equip these teachers by offering advance degree programs align with the need of teachers specially in terms of teaching strategies, instructional materials, mastery of content knowledge and assessment in various specializations in MAPEH.
