INTRODUCTION
The teaching profession according to many is the noblest profession of all. Thus, the Enactment of Republic Act No. 7836 known as the Philippine Teachers Professionalization of 1994 is a laudable piece of legislation giving recognition to the teaching profession. Its prime movers, the teachers, are regarded as the strength of the nation for they are the ones who did most of the job of holistically developing the students' strengths and potentials to become 21st century learners, responsible citizens of the community and be globally competitive in all areas, which will only be effectively performed if they find satisfaction in doing it.
METHODS
This study utilized descriptive correlational design and the researcher-made survey questionnaire consisted of close-ended questions to gather the data. On the other hand, the participants were chosen purposively, who was the faculty of Sico 1.0 National High School (Grade 70 12) during the school year 2017-2018. Moreover, the statistical treatments used were the weighted mean and the Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC).
RESULTS
Based on the data analyzed, r=0.193 revealed that the null hypothesis was rejected. However, p<0.306 indicated that there was no significant correlation between the length of service and job satisfaction of the Sico 1.0 National High School (Grade 7-12) faculty during the school year 2017-2018. Subsequently, both young and old educators were all job satisfied as shown by the level of their job satisfaction with the Mean Percentage Score of 92.4%.
DISCUSSIONS
The result demonstrates that the job satisfaction of the Sico 1.0 National High School (Grade 7-12) faculty during the school year 2017-2019 has nothing to do with neither their age nor length of service. Apparently, their job satisfaction is determined by other factors such as character, passion, and commitment in their sworn profession.
