After the data was gathered, it was analyzed using the frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation for the descriptive statistics while t-test for Independent Samples, One-way ANOVA, and Pearson's r as inferential statistics. All statistical computations were done using the Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) software, Version 22.0 (Hair, Black, Babin & Anderson, 2010).
6. What is/are the findings of the study?
The results show that PES teachers' level of work engagement was very satisfactory in all of 4 work engagement aspects - teaching-learning process, student outcomes, community involvement, and professional growth and development. The results also showed that the PES teachers have a high organizational support level when the different variables were considered in this study - teaching load, teaching position, sex, and marital status. Moreover, looking into the PES teachers' work engagement, a significant difference was noted in community involvement when grouped according to teaching load; and professional growth and development when grouped according to sex.

This implies that PES teachers are well-engaged in their work as manifested by their performance when it comes to teaching and learning process (M=4.38, SD=.35); pupils-students outcomes (M=4.24, SD=.40); community involvement (M=3.76, SD=.64); and professional growth and development (M=3.56, SD=.56).

9. Lesson/s you learned from the Study.
In whatever endeavor we are doing, team work and support of each other is a big factor in doing the best. This study has taught us that though teachers function well and efficiently on their own, they can be at their best if the support of the organization is present, visible and strong. Moreover, teaching-learning process is not only the responsibility of the teacher but the whole community so organizational support is vital to education and shaping the learners. Furthermore, the updates on the knowledge, skills and professional development of a teacher is a responsibility also of the school, so the support and motivation coming from them to equip the teachers with updated knowledge and skills is also attainable with the strong support of the organization. Finally, let us keep in mind the welfare of our primary clients-the learners, we must work hand in hand so that we could deliver the best we have for them to appreciate and value education.
10. If you were to cite the study in any of your research work related to the study being analyzed, what is the suggested citation? According to Basańes & Dagol (2021), work engagement of public elementary schools’ teachers is not influenced by the level of organizational support they received and that teachers can perform well regardless of any form of organizational support. However, Basańes & Dagol (2021) reiterated also that teachers must be involved in planning and decision making to improve their engagement level, giving emphasis also that when teachers’ needs were met, they are satisfied and it would motivate them to do better. The organizational structure must also facilitate teamwork for a better relationship among the school head and teachers.
