This study determined the significance of the social media use, and social relationship as predictors of civic engagement among senior high school learners. A multiple linear regression analysis was utilized, involving 300 samples selected through stratified random sampling. It is concluded that social relationship variable, not the social media use is a significant predictor affirming the social capital theory. Together, the predictors account 32% variance in the criterion variable. Quantitative research using other variables not covered in this study to account the 32% variance in civic engagement, and qualitative research to explore emerging themes and sub-themes relevant to civic engagement are recommended.
