I already fixed the problem by adding an ID to the combo box which the label is supposed to be targeting. Thank you for your willingness to help.

Subject: Re: [WebAIM] Combo box not Speaking the Label When Tabbing

If it has associated label, it should read by screen reader. Can you please share the link / code snippet to look at? I use word press to good extent.
Playing more these days. so may be able to investigate.
