Specifically, the study sought to: 1) determine the profile of public elementary school principals and teachers; 2) determine the public elementary school principals’ perception of principal empowerment along= administrative, fiscal and instructional matters; 3) determine the perceptions of public elementary school teachers on principal empowerment along administrative, fiscal and instructional matters; 4) determine the level of principal empowerment practices being adopted by the public elementary school principals as perceived by the teachers along administrative, fiscal, and instructional matters; 5) determine the degree of difference between the perception of public school principals and teachers on principal empowerment; 6) determine the degree of difference between the perception of principals on empowerment and the level of empowerment practices they adopt as perceived by the teachers; 7) determine the relationship between personal/professional characteristics of public elementary school principals and their perceptions on the level empowerment.<br/><br/>Data were gathered through administration of questionnaires to 99 public elementary school principals and 147 elementary teachers from the selected districts in the division of Cavite.<br/><br/>Findings revealed that majority of the principal-respondents belonged to the old group, most were female 84% were married and 34.3% of the principals have earned<br/>units in a master’s program. Most of them have much experience in teaching but they have less experience as administrators.<br/><br/>Regarding the profile of teachers, 52.8% belonged to the young group, majority were female and most of them were married. Many of them (60.9%) have units in the masters, they were also less experienced in teaching (41.5%) and 31.33% have attended trainings in the division level.<br/><br/>Principal empowerment along administrative matters was interpreted as “moderate” while that in instructional matters was interpreted as “extensive”; based on the perception of the principals.<br/>
