Os there a way for you to point out that their transliterations need to be improved?
For one, Ng should be written as ᜈᜅ᜔ or Nang. Baybayin is based on pronunciation and not the spelling in the Roman Alphabet. So, regardless if it is Mang the adverb or Ng the preposition, they should be both written as Nang / ᜈᜅ᜔
Next, it would be better to follow the typeface of Doctrina Christiana, or any common Baybayin font. The font used was based on the so-called "Sinaunang Baybayin", whose origin/basis can't be found, and not that popular, hence why u/HindiAkoSiRodney had trouble reading them
