This research was conceptualized to determine the self-efficacy and English learning motivation among Filipino High School Students. This study utilized the quantitative descriptive research design, which according to Johnson (as cited in Lim-Ramos et al., 2020) is a best fit to research with the utilization of simple statistics. The study also utilized an adapted questionnaire by Torres and Alieto (2019), which was patterned originally from Clement and Kruidenier (1983), Clement et al. (1994), and Ely (1986) in an EFL setting. It yielded a Cronbach Alpha of α = .902 for motivation section and self-efficacy section α =.951. The study disclosed that the respondents’ self-efficacy results revealed that skills in language learning of the students in the Philippines were receptive. This means that their input skills, namely listening and reading, were more dominant. Furthermore, the results for the English motivation indicate that respondents were instrumentally motivated. This means that students study English because they would be able to land a lucrative job and receive satisfying compensation if they could competently use the language. In addition, the study found that there is a strong relationship between students’ self-efficacy and English learning motivation. This suggests that the respondents’ motivation in language learning affects their self-efficacy.
