ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to describe the relationship that exists between resilience and academic performance among irregular students from Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila. Consequently, the study's goal is to determine the demographic and resilience profile of the respondents together with their overall level of resilience and academic performance. The scope also includes investigating whether academic performance is significantly correlated with the overall, along with the five cores of resilience - existential aloneness. Meaningfulness, self-reliance, equanimity and perseverance. In this study, a descriptive-correlational research strategy was utilized while convenience sampling was employed.Guided by the slovin's formula which determines a representative sample size appropriate for a givern population, a total number of 282 students who came from the eight undergraduate colleges of the university became a part of the final sample in the study. Each of the respondents took the 25-item Resilience Scale for the assessment of resilience level and was asked to indicate their latest general weighted average (GWA) for the measurement of academic performance. The numerical scores were then interpreted and given appropriate statistical treatments. Findings of the study revealed that with an age range of 19 to 25, and with a mean age of 19.63, majority of the respondents were female (N=188, 66.7%) with male comprising only 33.3% (N=94) of the final sample. Most of the respondents came from the College of Business and Management (N-72, 25.5%), College of Engineering (N=61, 21.6%) and College of Science (N=44, 15.6%). Existential aloneness (M=27.12, SD=4.36) appeared to be the most dominant resilience core that the respondents exhibit followed by meaningless (M=26.65, SD=4.61), self-reliance (M=25.44, SD-3.68), equanimity (M=24.69, SD=4.60) and perseverance (M=24.43, SD=4.30) respectively. The respondents fell on the high level of existential alones and meaningfulness while failing on the average level of self-reliance, equanimity and perseverance. In addition to these, the respondents were found to be good in terms of their academic performance (M=1.90, SD-0.14) but have a moderately low level of resilience (M=127.94, SD=18.66). Furthermore, a week significant correlation was found between existential aloneness and academic performance (r=.19, p-value=.00), meaningfulness and academic performance (r=.22, p-value=.00), self-reliance and academic performance (r=.18, p-value=.00), equanimity and academic performance (r=.19, p-value=.00), and perseverance and academic performance (r=.16, p-value=.00). There is also a weak significant correlation between the overall resilience and academic performance (r=0.17, p-value=.00) among the respondents.
