An inferential quantitative research design using a descriptive survey approach. Data were collected from 73 respondents through a validated researcher-made questionnaire. The study utilized mean, median, standard deviation, and the Mann-Whitney U test to analyze the data gathered. The result showed that most respondents were female and enrolled in the third-year students. Regarding organizational affiliation involvement, participation was most common in sports-related organizations which had the highest mean impact. The overall mean suggests that students generally perceived extracurricular engagement as having a positive influence on their academic motivation. Respondents associated with their involvement in extracurricular activities with the development of discipline, sense of responsibility, self-confidence, personal achievement, and a stronger commitment to their academic success. Analysis of the data further indicated that perceptions of academic motivation did not significantly differ when respondents were grouped according to sex or year level). The findings suggests that positive influence of extracurricular participation on academic motivation was consistently experienced by students regardless of their sex or year level.
