Abstract: This study aimed to assess the common errors in essay writing among students pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Filipino Language and to identify the factors contributing to these errors. The current Filipino curriculum emphasizes the cultivation of communicative abilities, necessitating a parallel enhancement of students' grammatical proficiency. To achieve this, a content analysis design was employed to evaluate the narrative essays of 55 groups of students at Benguet State University-Main Campus, La Trinidad, Benguet. The analysis revealed that the students’ grammatical skills are not fully developed, indicating a need for improvement. Additionally, several factors were identified that affect students' essay writing, including knowledge of grammatical rules, organization of ideas, lack of understanding of the topic, interest levels, and environmental influences. These findings highlight that the rules of grammar and orthography in the Filipino language are not yet fully grasped by students, impacting their overall writing abilities. It was recommended that there are strategies to enhance students’ grammatical proficiency and knowledge of Filipino orthography. It is also crucial to address the various factors influencing writing skills and to implement a seminar design specifically aimed at improving students’ essay-writing capabilities. Such interventions are essential for aligning with the goals of the Filipino curriculum and fostering better communication skills among students.
