Gender and Ethnicity are essential constructs considered to be interwoven with each other. They are imperative considerations in the study of language learning. However, there remain a dearth of investigations on language proficiency that have accounted both gender and ethnicity, specifically among post-colonial Filipino ESL learners. Against this context, employing a quantitative research design, the study investigated the difference in the English Language proficiency across gender and ethnicity. This cross-sectional investigation involved 620 secondary schools students sampled across three major ethnic groupings. The data revealed that there is gender difference in the English Language Proficiency (ELP) favouring the females. However, no significance is found between ELP and the variable ethnicity. Educational implications are provided for the findings.
