Teachers' competence in ICT can significantly impact teaching by enhancing instructional methods, increasing student engagement, improving access to information, or facilitating personalized learning experiences. In this context, this study determined the teachers’ level of competence in Information and Communications Technology in Tudela District, Cebu Province Division, located on an island that is the fifth District Municipality in the central Philippines, for the school year 2022-2023. Data for this descriptive study was collected from 60 public school teacher-respondents using a self-made survey questionnaire that has passed the rigorous tests of validity and reliability. The data analysis showed a high level of teachers’ competence in Information and Communications Technology. Teachers' competence in ICT can be enhanced via continued professional growth in the form of suited relevant training and regular school LAC since education is a continuous process for the benefit of the various learners.
