The main purpose of this study was to investigate the status and prospects of implementation of the New Physical Education and School Sports Program (PESS) as obtained during the School Year 1988-1989 in the Public Elementary Schools of Samar Division. The instrument used in this study are Survey Questionnaires and Philippine Fitness Test and the Respondents are Sixteen (160 School Administrators, twenty six (26) PESS teachers and one hundred sixty three (163) grade VI pupils. The data gathered were subjected to statistical treatment using such statistical tools/techniques as frequency scores, mean score, difference between means t-test. The perceptions of teachers, school administrators about the extent of implementation of the varied PESS Programs and projects are almost identical. They unanimously believe that there is only a slightly satisfactory implementation of the PESS programs and projects in Samar Division. The hypothesis which states that there is no significant difference in the perceptions of teachers and school administrators about the extent of implementation of the PESS programs and projects in Samar Division is therefore accepted. The low performance in the PPFT is indicative of the not yet so good implementation of the PESS program in the Division of Samar. Based on the analysis of the results of this study the following conclusions are presented: (1) the implementation of the New Physical Education and School Sports Program in the Division of Samar as yet needs to be improved, (2) respondent category did not influence the perceptions of teachers and school administrators about the extent of implementation of varied PESS program and projects, (3) teachers’ field of specialization as well as in-service training did not influence their attitude towards PESS. and (5) the achievement of/performance of the Grade VI pupils in the Philippine Physical Fitness Test is still very low. Based on the findings and conclusions of this study, the researcher recommends the following: (a) there be professionally trained PESS teachers in any school; (b) PESS teachers, coordinators and supervisors be fully acquainted with the new innovations in PESS instruction/curriculum; (c) more PESS seminars be conducted for teachers and school administrators; (d) PESS curriculum/instructional materials be issued to the field; (e) the government provides adequate PESS instructional materials equipment; (f) all complete elementary schools be provided with PESS facilities, equipment and apparatuses; and (g) there be more managerial supervision of PESS instruction in school.
