Abstract
This survey-correlational research was conducted to determine the frequency of watching Filipino films and the communication skills of Grade 9 students at Nicomedes R. Tubar Sr. National High School, Pase, San Dionisio, Iloilo, during the School Year 2024–2025. The participants of this study were a total of seventy-five (75) Grade 9 students from the said institution. The research instruments used included a questionnaire on the frequency of watching Filipino films and rubrics for assessing communication skills. To measure the frequency of watching Filipino films, the researcher developed a questionnaire consisting of thirty (30) items using a 5-point scale: (5) Very Frequent, (4) Frequent, (3) Sometimes, (2) Rare, and (1) Very Rare. For communication skills, the assessment was divided into two parts: (1) writing an essay titled “My Learnings from Watching Filipino Films” and (2) delivering a speech based on the essay they composed. The essay-writing rubric had a maximum score of thirty (30) points, while the speech-delivery rubric also had thirty (30) points, both measured using a 5-point scale: (5) Excellent, (4) Proficient, (3) Satisfactory, (2) Poor, and (1) Needs Improvement. The independent variable of this study was the frequency of watching Filipino films, while the dependent variable was the students’ communication skills. All data and information gathered were treated with strict confidentiality and processed using computer-based statistical analysis. For descriptive data analysis, the mean and standard deviation (SD) were employed, while for inferential data analysis, the frequency count, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Pearson’s r were used, with a level of significance set at 0.05. The findings revealed that the frequency of watching Filipino films among Grade 9 students was at the level of “Frequent.” Moreover, the students’ communication skills were assessed as “Proficient.” Overall, the study found that there was no significant relationship between the frequency of watching Filipino films and the communication skills of the students.
