Abstract	Abstract This study determined the influence of the level of resiliency on the leadership competence of school heads and served as basis for a school-based enhancement program in the 4th Congressional District of the Schools Division of Camarines Sur. It employed a descriptive-correlational research design with purposive sampling, using Weighted Mean, Frequency Count, Percentage Technique, Chi-Square, Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient, and Coefficient of Determination for data analysis. The study described respondents’ demographic profile in terms of age, sex, civil status, position, length of service, and educational attainment; assessed their level of resiliency in behavioral skills; and evaluated leadership competence in governance, curriculum and learning, accountability and continuous improvement, and resource management. Findings revealed that school heads are mostly experienced, highly educated women in Principal I positions, reflecting stability and a clear leadership structure. They demonstrated strong resiliency and adaptability, though improvement is needed in handling criticism and developing emotional intelligence. Leadership competence was high, particularly in resource management and partnership building, while governance and curriculum leadership emerged as key areas for development. Significant relationships were found between resiliency, leadership competence, age, and position, while other competencies were influenced more by training and experience. Resiliency and leadership competence were also found to be interconnected, with sustained experience strengthening leadership capacity. Moreover, their combined effect significantly influences teachers’ performance. In conclusion, school heads are generally resilient and competent leaders, but require further enhancement in governance, curriculum leadership, and emotional intelligence. Based on these findings, a Leadership Enhancement Program aligned with the Philippine Professional Standards for School Heads (PPSSH) was developed, focusing on emotional intelligence, stress management, governance, curriculum development, data-driven decision-making, and stakeholder engagement.
