Emotional intelligence and self-efficacy are considered two of the most fundamental teachers' characteristics to create positive effects on students. This study made use of a survey questionnaire to find out the self-efficacy and emotional intelligence of teachers and the academic achievement of Grade 7 and 8 students in English, Math and Science subjects. The respondents were 100 students who were officially enrolled in school year 2022 – 2023 in Monkayo National High School. It was found out that teachers who tended to be stronger in acknowledging, expressing, and controlling their emotions said they were more successful teachers. Teachers understood the value of emotional intelligence in the classroom and how it brings significantly to the teaching-learning process, resulting in students' performance. Its recommendation is that school leaders should continue to improve their working environment for the teachers so that the teachers would become more effective in their teaching career.
