Abstract

The Philippines is considered one of the most significant social media users, particularly YouTube.  Filipinos use the platform for many purposes, but one is mainly due to entertainment. However, when the pandemic hit, YouTube videos started to play a vital role in the academe. Despite the majority of its users, it was found that only a few data on its utilization in the Philippine classroom exist. Thus, this review was carried out to examine the variables influencing YouTube usage in Philippine classrooms. Nine papers were qualified and selected using the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The following are the results: 1.) YouTube videos as an enhancement tool, and 2.) YouTube videos utilization as a pandemic effect. Moreover, this review will help the teachers in planning and employing strategies to use YouTube videos for the student’s performance and other skills. Future research may look at different methods and disciplines.
