Abstract: This research aims to investigate the mediating effect of students’ level of understanding in Filipino in the relationship between learning experiences and communicative skills. This is a non-experimental quantitative study that employed correlation and mediation research design. Data were collected through a face-to-face survey of 465 students at a public secondary school in the division of Bukidnon. Respondents were selected using stratified ramdom sampling. The statistical tools used were mean, Pearson r, and Medgraph Sobel z-test, utilizing a validated, adapted, and modified questionnaire. The findings revealed that learning experiences scored a high level, as did the dependent variable, communicative skills, and the mediating variable, students’ understanding of Filipino subjects. It was also found that there is a significant relationship between learning experiences and communicative skills, learning experiences and students’ understanding in Filipino, and students’ understanding and communicative skills. It was found that students’ understanding of Filipino has a partial mediating effect on the relationship between students’ learning experiences and communicative skills. Hence, there should be a focus on developing communicative skills at present for meaningful learning using the language in the social context.
