Abstract This qualitative study explored challenges mathematics teachers encounter in integrating Artificial Intelligence within the TPACK framework (AI-TPACK) in the Division of Cotabato, Philippines. Using descriptive-qualitative design, in-depth interviews and focus group discussions were conducted with purposively selected DepEd mathematics teachers who use AI in teaching. Data were analyzed via thematic analysis, yielding two Global Themes: (1) Technological Capacity and Resource Constraints in AI-Integration, encompassing limited access to AI tools, lack of AI literacy, and insufficient professional development; and (2) Pedagogical and Instructional Challenges in AI-TPACK Integration, encompassing difficulty aligning AI with mathematics pedagogy and concerns about AI undermining students' mathematical reasoning. These findings reveal simultaneous infrastructure, competency, and pedagogical barriers requiring systemic institutional responses. The study contributes the concept of 'double deprivation' -- wherein teachers lacking physical AI access simultaneously lack the pedagogical experience needed to develop AI-TPACK competencies -- and provides the qualitative foundation for evidence-based intervention and policy development.
