Descriptive research was used in describing the demographic profile in terms of age, gender, marital status, educational attainment, length of service and hours of ICT training; and the Information and Communication Skills (ICT) level competency of teachers in terms of their setup, maintenance, and troubleshooting skills, word processing skills, spreadsheet skills, telecommunications skills, basic programming, video editing, and graphics design. It was also correlation research since the demographic profile of the respondents will be correlated to the Information and Communication Skills (ICT). The data collected were subjected to analysis, the mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions while the hypotheses were tested with an F-value of 9.799 with a corresponding p-value of 0.000 level of significance. Based on the results of the study, most of the teachers were of millennial age, female, married, with Master’s Units, have 6-10 years length of service, and 8 hours and below ICT hours of training. It was recommended that teachers should have high confidence and competency in using ICT in the classroom since ICT is a tool that could help in the learning process, especially with real-life practices and they can facilitate instruction without losing time and energy in achieving the learning outcomes.
