Abstract This study examined the relationship between teachers’ technology empowerment and its influence on learners’ media literacy among 109 respondents in the Schools Division of Antique–District of Laua-an for the year 2025. The study utilized a descriptive-correlational research design to determine how teachers’ digital competence and technology integration practices affect learners’ media literacy skills. Data were gathered using a researcher-made questionnaire and analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistical tools such as mean, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson product-moment correlation.

The findings revealed that teachers demonstrated a high level of technology empowerment, while learners also exhibited a high level of media literacy. A significant positive relationship was found between teachers’ technology empowerment and learners’ media literacy, indicating that teachers who are empowered in the use of technology contribute significantly to the development of learners’ ability to access, evaluate, analyze, and use media content responsibly.

Based on the findings, the study concluded that teachers’ technology empowerment plays a vital role in enhancing learners’ media literacy. Strengthening teachers’ digital competence and improving technology integration practices can further develop learners’ critical thinking skills and promote the responsible use of digital information in a technology-driven learning environment.
