The respondents of the study were composed of one hundred twenty-nine (129) Grade V and VI learners of Manolo Fortich District IV namely, Impakibel Elementary School and Santiago Integrated School. The researcher selected the respondents through universal sampling method. The researcher adopted the learning style questionnaire of Ramos and Lopez (2020). Data were evaluated employing mean and standard deviation. Pearson Product Moment Correlation was used to distinguish the significant relationship between the learning styles and academic performance of IP learners. The study revealed that Visual Learning Styles was highly preferred learning style by IP learners. Kinesthetic Learning Style was undecided by IP learners. Furthermore, there is no significant relationship between auditory and visual learning style and academic performance. However, kinesthetic learning style and academic performance of IP learners have a significant relationship. Thus, teachers may design classes and activities that suit to the learning style preference of their learners. Therefore, action research is recommended
