employability of the respondents. The researchers may have compared the before and during

the pandemic to the employability of the graduates. The placement of scale of interpretation

should be placed on the Analysis of Data and not on the results and discussions.

In the results and discussions, there are discrepancies with the study. The researchers

missed including the presentation of the graphical form of Table 5 and which has text

discussions. The results and discussions of the Tables are incoherent, inaccurate, and have

some typos. Future researchers may check the error in every detail of the results and discussions
