During the academic year 2021–2022, the respondents worked as public elementary school teachers at Bagong Silang Elementary School, Estrella Elementary School, and Langgam Elementary School, all located in the City of San Pedro Area 5. Results indicate that the workload level of teachers is interpreted as moderately high to very high in terms of ancillary functions, classroom procedures, professional growth, counselling and mentoring, coordination activities, and community social services.

Then, it appears that teacher work performance is very satisfactory in terms of individual performance commitment and review form rating. The following conclusion was reached in light of the aforementioned findings. A teachers emotional intelligence and workload in various areas are significantly correlated. According to the findings, there is a link between a teachers emotional intelligence and workload related to things like classroom procedures, professional development, counselling and mentoring, and coordination tasks. Therefore, as the amount of work in these areas increases, a teacher might become more emotionally intelligent.
