520			_aAbstract This study aimed to identify the relationship between students’ knowledge on the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs) in English 7 and their critical thinking (CT) skills. The researcher employed the descriptive-correlational approach and utilized survey questionnaires as its main data collection tool. Using the systematic sampling technique, 145 students from the two secondary schools in Zamboanguita District 2 were selected to be the respondents for this study. The results revealed that the students’ level of knowledge on the MELCs is predominantly categorized as “outstanding.” The data also reflected that the students generally perceive a “somewhat high” extent of CT skills in the following areas: analyzing relevance, evaluating sources, and using evidence to formulate an argument. Additionally, there is a significant and strong relationship between the level of knowledge on the MELCs and the aforementioned constructs of CT skills. Meanwhile, the profile of the students, like age, sex, and family status, is not significantly related to their level of knowledge on the MELCs and overall extent of CT skills. The researcher concluded that the students’ knowledge on the MELCs significantly influences their perception of its importance in enhancing their CT skills. When students have a thorough grasp of a particular competency, they are more inclined to utilize it in their CT processes. Keywords: level of knowledge, MELCs, English 7, extent of CT skills
