N2  - Abstract:  During the COVID-19 pandemic, the educational system in the Philippines shifted to pure online learning. With the declining number of cases and improvement in COVID-19 situation, classes were gradually shifted to face-to-face learning. Currently, blended learning is being adapted in our institution. Hence, this study aims to determine the factors that influence medical students' preference and perception towards blended and pure online learning.  This is a cross-sectional study which utilized a 37-item questionnaire in Google Forms. The survey included questions on perception on learning process, ease of use, and delivery of learning content for both blended and pure online learning. Data involving factors being investigated in this study were also gathered. Responses were analyzed and treated using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS).  There were 269 respondents from second year to fourth year level in the School of Medicine. Overall, there was a higher proportion of students with a good perception on blended learning (67%) than pure online learning (36%) (p,0.001). Among the factors, advanced computer competence significantly increased the odds (crude OR 2.86; 95% Cl 1.57 - 5.19) of having good perception on blended learning On the other hand, male (crude OR 2.22;95% Cl 1.28 - 3.85) and again advanced computer competence (crude OR 1.99; 95% Cl 1.14 - 3.49) significantly increased the odds of having good perception on pure online learning.  More students prefer blended than pure online learning with internet connectivity as a significant factor that affects student's perception. Despite the advances in technology that follow for online classes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, students still prefer the blended prefer the blended form of learning because of internet connectivity issues that can possibly contribute to difficulty communicating with their professors and classmates
