ABSTRACT This action research was conducted to assess the level of financial literacy and financial stress among teachers in Colon National High School. It also examines the relationship between these two variables using a combination of quantitative and qualitative types of research. This utilized an adapted and modified from Owusu (2015) survey questionnaire to find out the level of financial literacy and financial stress of the respondents and an interview guide questionnaire through the conduct of focus group discussions and in-depth interview, for the reasons for their financial literacy and financial stress. Data were analyzed using Percentage Count, Mean, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient statistical methods. It was found out that the financial literacy of the respondents is at a high level. Conversely, they have a low-level result of financial stress. Furthermore, it reveals that financial literacy has a significant relationship with their financial stress specifically in the aspect of debt management with of r= -0.420 and the p-value of p=0.000. Additionally, through the conduct of focus group discussions and in-depth interviews, the main reason for their financial stress pertains to their daily consumption of basic needs, education, health conditions, other debts, and mismanagement of income. Considering these findings, it is concluded that teachers’ financial literacy is a crucial basis of knowledge on proper financial management as it significantly affects their extent of financial stress. Hence, it supports the program of the Department of Education (DepEd) of providing financial literacy programs as headway to help curb their financial stress.
