The instrument used in the collection of data is the questionnaire created by the researcher. The percentage and mean are used in statistical analysis. The following were the results of the study. When the students' vocabulary levels were evaluated, it came out that their level was “understanding”. Students in Grade 10 have a wide vocabulary. They are capable of expressing their thoughts and communicating with their neighbors. When the impact of teaching equipment was evaluated, it was proven that they were “more affecting” students' vocabulary learning. It is easy for students to understand the topics of lessons when the teacher uses printed, authentic, and electronic teaching tools. When the impact of the use of various teacher strategies was evaluated, it was determined that it was "more affecting" the learning of the vocabulary of Filipino students.
