The researcher used descriptive correlational method to investigate the relationship of professional commitment and job satisfaction of respondents. The samples were collected from 126 teacher-respondents in gathering of data. A survey questionnaire consisted of personal information of respondents and Question to Measure Commitment and Job Satisfaction developed by Sue Hayday of the Institute of Employment Studies were used. It was proven that there was a high correlation between professional commitment and job satisfaction. The aforementioned findings implied that professional commitment are synonymous with job satisfaction. Loyalty to the organization, compounded with the dedication in the teaching profession and the nobility of its task are the core value that guided teachers to survive in the intensified and demanding work environment. Job satisfaction on the other hand was attributed to the emotional attachment derived from work itself because of its goal.The researcher recommends that though teaching career is of a noble calling, it must also be equated with better pay system, career advancement and justifiable benefits..
