520			_aDigital spaces such as social media platforms and online news articles have become avenues for the youth to actively practice civic and political engagement, but the prevalence of fake news in these spaces and the lack of skills to properly cope with disinformation hinder the youth from gaining political awareness and information. This study analyzes the significant differences between Grade 11 and Grade 12 students from Ateneo de Iloilo - Santa Maria Catholic School (Adi-SMCS) from the school year 2025- 2026 in terms of level of engagement towards disinformation, political media, and disinformation about political media. A quantitative analysis approach was employed, allowing for objective analysis and interpretation of survey responses gathered from four (4) randomly selected sections of both grade 11 and grade 12. The quantitative data gathered were analyzed through the Mann-Whitney U test to determine the level of engagement and significant difference between the grade levels' engagement levels towards disinformation, political media, and disinformation about political media. Results revealed that there is no significant difference between the grade levels (p-value = 0.176), indicating that the students sometimes critically evaluate and engage with disinformation about political media. This study accepts the null hypothesis, concluding that the Senior High School (SHS) students of AdI-SMCS have a "moderate-high" level of engagement towards disinformation about political media (mean = 2.81, SD = 0.52), but recommends that further improvements be taken into consideration.
