    Samar. It was likewise present the analysis and interpretation of the data in this study.

    questionnaires were retrieved and used.

    20-23 9 30%

    31-35 2 6.67%

    40-43 1 3.33%
    Total 30 100
    Table 1 shows the age of the respondents of this study. In the table, 43.33 % of the

    respondents were in the 24-27 years age category (13 responses) and constituted the bulk of the

    sample. This revealed that the people who were more likely interested for this study were the

    workers whose ages are ranging from twenty four (24) to twenty seven (27).
    This table shows that the highest age percentage was the age range of 24-27. Therefore

    almost half of the respondents were middle aged. One more reasonable explanation of these

    results could be that the questionnaire administered created more interest in younger than in

    older people.

    B. Gender

    and the Basic English speaking skills of workers of business establishments in the ground level

    To test null hypothesis that there is no significant relationship between the workers basic

    English speaking skills and their socio-demographic profile in terms of age, gender, civil status,

    and educational attainment, the multiple regression analysis was used.

    Table 3 shows the summary result of the relationship between the levels of the

    respondents speaking skills and their socio-demographic profile in terms of age, gender, civil

    status, and educational attainment. Since the multiple-r value of 0.281 is smaller than the f

    critical value at 0.05 level of significance at 4 degrees of freedom, the null hypothesis was

    confirmed in favor the research hypothesis. This means that there is no significant relationship

    between the basic English speaking skills of the respondents with their age, gender, civil status,

    or educational attainment. It implies that even if the respondents are either young, middle aged,

    or old, their speaking skills were not affected by it. It also shows that any gender can perform

    well in oral communication, whether male or female. Same as to the civil status of the

    respondents, it does not influence their speaking skills. Lastly, their educational attainment still

    does not affect the respondents speaking skills. Whether they are high school graduates or

    college graduates, it has nothing to do with their basic English speaking skills.
