meticulously read and correct the researchers’ drafts, and, for motivating them to

improve and be better in the course of their study;

Mrs. Rica Marcet Obsequio-Funtecha, Prof. Shiela Mae C. Quero, and Prof. Zsa

Zsa M. Bacaling, for the time spent on validating the evaluation sheet for the study,
