Abstract: This study examined the role of emotional intelligence to mental health. In this study, the identified mental health components are anxiety, depression, self-efficacy, and resilience. This correlational research used regression analyses were conducted to examine the correlational relationships among variables The results showed the EI is negative predict anxiety and depression, and reactivity, a component of resilience. EI was shown to positively predict self-efficacy and resilience among 300Filipino adolescents. These results provide support for the idea that emotionally intelligent individuals are more likely resilient, have sense of self-efficacy and, are less anxious, less depressed, and less reactive. The results then demonstrate the adaptive value of emotional intelligence, that is, it allows an individual to positively cope and adjust to his/her environment.
