This study determined and evaluated the effectiveness of multimedia-based instructions in teaching science subjects and crafted an action plan in strengthening the use of multimedia in teaching science discipline. The ex post facto research method under the quantitative research was designed in analyzing the assessment of teacher respondents. The purposive sampling approach was also used in the selection of the respondents. There were 20 secondary schools with at least 100 science teachers that served as respondents as target locale of the SDO in Bulacan. The findings of this study revealed that the most used multimedia platforms in teaching science subjects assessed by the teacher respondents are the Presentation Tools. Moreover, there is a significant difference in educational effectiveness and design features. This indicates that perception in multimedia effectiveness differs from one another in terms of sex and years in service. However, there is no significant difference in the indicator’s entertainment value and user friendliness of technology regardless of the respondents’ profile. Therefore, there is a significant difference in teacher’s assessment in multimedia-based instruction when grouped according to profile.  As for the desirable multimedia assessment indicators, the greater the rating means the better the quality of the multimedia-based platform. It is recommended that the school administration take the initiative in integrating multimedia in each classroom. There must be a strong integration of multimedia materials in every school.
