To achieve this aim, the researcher employed the descriptive-correlational method of research and used a sample of 167 JHS journalism students in a school in City of Malolos, Bulacan. The data were processed using the Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS). Results of the regression analysis indicated that all four (4) variables of ICT utilization affect the JHS Journalism students' academic achievement in varying extent as shown by the obtained B Coefficients 0.661 (computer-related activities), 1.198 (perceived motivation), and 0.529 (perceived usefulness), and 0.761 (perceived satisfaction). A closer look at the obtained Beta Coefficients, one could deduce that of the 4 variables of ICT utilization, it was the perceived motivation that exert a greatest influence (Beta=1.98) on the academic achievement. Results of analysis of variance revealed an F ratio equal to .955 with the associated probability equal to .000. Since the p value is lower than the significance level set at 0.05, the null hypothesis is rejected. It may be safely concluded that the UCT utilization produces significant combined effects on the academic achievement of students.
