Ynares Sr. Memorial National High School (DJYMNHS) underwent learning writing through process approach using the researcher-made learning guide. Since distance learning was the modality at the time the study was conducted, the process happened in the online platform. The validators and the students’ output determined the effectiveness of the learning guide. This study focused on the use of process approach in teaching writing a narrative essay.
