INTRODUCTION
To students,
resiliency is the ability to overcome the obstacles in life. Despite the difficulties

Theoretical Framework
(revise)
Other theories point out that resilient people have the ability to rebound
from a stressful experience swiftly and successfully. B.L. Frederickson (1998,
2001) used his theory on broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions as a
framework for understanding resiliency in people.
Russell and Russell (2009) postulates that resilient people have high
regard on the many aspects of their lives. They are oftentimes characterized
with the following: self-assurance, personal vision, flexibility and adaptability,

The
level of resiliency will be categorized according to the scale: very high, high,
moderate, low and very low as determined by the four factors namely,
hardiness, optimism, resourcefulness and purpose.
Academic performance will be determined by the grade point average
(GPA) from the students first and second grading grades which will be obtained
in their school report card and/or school permanent record.

Significance of the Study
A study becomes very important to a group of people or individuals when
its results answer very critical questions that affect them and their endeavors.
The researcher hopes that this study will be beneficial to the students,
teachers, school administrators, parents and other stakeholders and to future
researchers who wish to conduct related studies.
Working Students. Result of this study will aid students to understand
