N2  - This study endeavored to determine the mathematical problem comprehension level of freshmen college students of Taguig City University (TCU) in the school year 2013 - 2014 in relation to their computational skill as basis for a proposed supplementary compendium of As such, this study utilized descriptive correlational method supplemented by documentary analysis using the California Basic Educational Skills Test (CBEST) among one hundred (100) freshmen students enrolled across course programs. The data gathered were tabulated and computed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard  deviation, chi-square test of independence, and Pearson Product Moment  Coefficient of Correlation.  Findings showed that students were on the average age of entry to  college imbued by gender parity, however, they lacked competencies in  their high school mathematics. As a result, they were low in  comprehension skill that led to their poor computational ability as found to  have correlation. Hence, age and gender had established no relationship  with students' comprehension and computational skills at all unlike their  high school mathematics performance.  Therefore, it was recommended to revitalize diagnostic assessment  among incoming freshmen and come up with refresher or bridging courses  as requisite to college math. More so, interdisciplinary approach with  English and Math focus imbued by critical thinking is imperative and so as  revisiting the existing curriculum for math along intended competencies.  Thus, there is a need for relevant supplementary materials to enhance  such skills.
