This paper aims to investigate the self-reported writing problems of Filipino learners of English Language. A total of sixteen (16) Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) students of Technological University participated in this study. An instrument consisting of two parts was used: Part I asked for background information. Part II asked the students to write on a given topic. Second instrument is a checklist. The checklist used was adapted from Kamimura (2000) as cited in Mojica (2010). Writing difficulties were coded into three before writing, while writing and post writing. The results of the students’ report shows that students are likely to think critically as they advance to the next writing stage. On the other hand, post-writing stage obtained a highest mean, showing that students have more attention to the content, audience, grammar, vocabulary, and the final output.
