This manuscript aims to explore and understand the development of blended learning during the pandemic among the tertiary schools in Antipolo City in the Philippines from the lenses of college students. The proliferation of blended learning programs offers new opportunities and challenges for colleges and universities to meet the learning needs of students as we approach the post-pandemic era. Two online focus groups with ten students each session. This provided qualitative views on how students believed blended learning would be helpful for their degrees. Educational institutions are now using a new set of essential skills that students must have. Indeed, this recurring trend in education is called blended learning. Students believed that they were more effective with this new approach, thus being ready for the real world after experiencing emergency remote learning for more than a year.
