Hey Raissa,

Hi Raissa,

I’m really sad to see you leave ACEN because you’ve been one of the kindest and warmest people I’ve met here. I’ll never forget when you first introduced yourself and instantly made me feel at ease. I was even more surprised to learn you were one of the executives, and it meant so much that you still went out of your way to reach out to a newbie like me. You’ve always been such a joy to talk to, like a little burst of sunshine on a gloomy day. Always grateful to have met you.

As much as I wish we had more time together at work, I’m happy you’ll now get to enjoy more precious moments with Ysla and Alon. I really hope ACEN isn’t the last place our paths cross, and who knows, maybe we’ll have more chances to hang out outside of work.

Wishing you all the best, because someone as genuine and kind as you deserves nothing less.

P.S. I still have that legendary video of you in some sort of hair cap with cream dots on your face while working sa Melting Pot. Hands down one of my favorite ACEN memories!

I refuse to believe the press release where you are headed after ACEN. Tanggap naman namin na babalik ka sa showbiz career mo. 🤪

All the best, Raissa! See you around, whether in Makati or in Lipa!

I'll miss you so much, Raissa!!! You were the bestest and easiest coworker during the haggard annual report and ASM season. I still have PTSD from that life haha, but you were always so calm and organized and efficient, and you made everything so much lighter and easier. :)

I'm happy and excited for you for what lies ahead, and I'm sure you'll be awesome in whatever you choose to do.

You still owe us a lunch date! :)

love, Joyce

Hi Raissa,

Thank you for your friendship. You really are such a friendly and kind soul. Will miss our quarterly chikahan, though I know it’s time for you to move on to more daring roles ;)

Hope to see you around!

Raissa!!! My El Nido roomie, ASM script-reading coach, and SP project partner 😆 It has truly been such a joy getting to know you. Wishing you all the best on your next adventure, and may you enjoy every moment raising your adorable kiddos! I’ll definitely miss seeing you around or bumping into you in T2. I hope our paths cross again soon ☺️

Cheers,

Luvie ❤️

To the friendliest, nicest, most approachable, and easiest-to-work-with lawyer and hiring manager I’ve ever met, I’ll truly miss you! 🥺 I saw on your IG that you’re already reminiscing with your ACEN throwback photos (huhu, alon growing up in ACEN moments).

Stay the same carefree and kind person that you are! Please don’t be a stranger! Keep in touch, and remember, you can always come back (sabi ko hahaha!).

Much love,

April Silva ❤️

From my past employer to ACEN, you have been very supportive to me. I remember the days when we set-up the transition from my previous job (HRMall days) to meeting and working with you again here in ACEN. Seeing your journey from becoming a first time mom to Alon and now a supermom shows your other side apart from being our legal advisor. Thank you so much Atty. Raissa for your guidance and patience. I wish you good luck in your future endeavors! - Jess Q. 🫶

Grabe ka naman, batchmate! Kung kelan na-uungkat na ang mga past connections natin, saka ka pa tayo magkakalayo.

Thank you for always being a friendly face that I will definitely miss for the rest of my ACEN days. Work won’t be the same without your energy, laughter, and random chika.

Super excited for what’s ahead for you. Wag kalimutan mag-gulay ha lol. Sana magkarandom connections pa tayo in the future.

Love,

Bini Kai

I shall miss you so much, Raissa! I still remember our first encounter during that Gallup training. Your very warm smile and calming presence had me gravitating towards you. I knew at that instant that you are a blessing in my life.

Thank you so much for the friendship!!! Know that I shall always support you and your happiness! I'm very happy and excited for you!!! I know that the universe shall continue to shower you with abundance, overflowing joy and love!

Our lunch dates are still on! Love you, Rai!!! Maridol

Hi Rai!

Super grateful to have known you and to have worked with you even if it’s just seasonal hehe. You have always been so patient, kind, and understanding as a colleague and you seem to have this quiet power to make work feel lighter, even during the most stressful times. We will definitely miss your light and positivity here in the office.

Wishing you all the best always, and sending you even more light, love, and strength for whatever lies ahead!

So, you’re leaving us? Bold and daring move😄

Thanks for being our governance queen. We’ll miss your brilliance and your sass! :)

Wishing you all the best in your next adventure and motherhood.

Hi Raissa. What happened?! 🤣 I am not sure if you still remember your message to me, but sabi ko naman sayo to give me until the end of the year to be ready... hehe. Kidding aside, good luck on the next chapter. Always follow your heart and do what makes you happy! ❤️🌈

See you around!

Rai!!! You broke free from the golden chain, surprised though that it was this soon! Will surely miss you in the office. Thank you for being there for me and for our meaningful chats about living more purposeful lives and the common travails of working moms. Yes, will surely miss those talks.

I am sure however that our paths will cross (literally sa ATC, haha!) or perhaps sa golf course (start mo na!)?

In the meantime, enjoy waking up with no (or less?) mental noise and plenty of time to spend listening to your kids’ stories and creating many happy memories.

Take care, see you around!

Working with you on Audit Comm, ASM, IR, RPT and other governance matters has truly been a pleasure. I’ll never forget the day when you saw me back from my maternity leave and asked how I was — it meant a lot. I wish we had more time to chat about motherhood; I’m sure I would’ve learned so much from your experiences. I’ll definitely miss your warmth and calm presence in the office.

Wishing you all the best in your next chapter. See you around!

We will surely miss your positive and calm presence amidst tight deadlines. We wish you all the best in your next work / chapter. Take care and see you around. 😄

Hi Raissa,

My roommate in Anya. Our partner during ASM, IR and Governance matters. I will surely miss your calm and composed demeanor even when situations seem so hectic and stressful. Thank you for everything!

We wish you all the best on your next chapter, may it be filled with wins, less stress, and plenty of happiness. Thank you for being part of our journey, and don’t forget us.

Half-kidding, of course—because I know that stepping away from work to fully embrace your role as a wife and mother is not so much about gaining independence, but about choosing a different kind and level of commitment.

I wish you all the best and I sincerely hope that this new season in your life brings you deeper purpose, joy, and more meaning.

Take care and see you around!

Hello, Governance Queen! My Dearest Rai!

I remember with joy and fondness our first meeting in NLR’s office in BGC during the Q3 Board meeting in 2016 (yaz, dat’s how tanders na akiz. 😉) You were with Eric and Dodj in that meeting and I won’t forget that before Eric signed the minutes of the previous meeting, he requested you to review first. That’s how we became comfortable working with each other related to Governance matters – from NLR’s board meetings to AREC's and the other operating SPVs of ACEN.  I sincerely thank you for the positive energy, enthusiasm, and expertise you shared with us every time we prepare for the quarterly board meetings of the SPVs. We always wanted to stick to the agreed deadline and release the board kits on time. Kaya pareho tayong makulit mag ff up sa Team. 😊 Indeed, it is such a joy and honor working with you in ACEN! Outside of work, I will miss our ‘chikahan’ about our kids, parenting style and time management among others. No goodbyes, just 'see you around.'

I will miss you, Dear! All the best to you in your next journey. I pray for your continued success and happy, healthy family.

Love,
Ate Jen

Hi Rai!

When I first met you, your vibe was so welcoming and it made you so easy to approach and talk to. Your energy has such a lightness that I’m sure many others felt as well.

We’ll truly miss that warmth during our DPC sessions.

Wishing you all the best in your next chapter!

Hi Raissa, I've heard really great things about you, so I'm quite sad I didn't get the opportunity to work with you. Hopefully our paths will cross again in the future. The best of luck to you and your future endeavors :)

Good luck Momshie! See you around.

It was a blessing to connect with you during my breastfeeding journey as one of the "Pa dede girls". I'll cherish the memories of pumping sessions during and in between board meetings 👶🏻🍼 , striking anywhere, and our quick coffee breaks ☕️. Looking forward to creating more moments together outside ACEN. See you soon, Rai!

It’s hard to say goodbye to someone who made governance feel like a group hug and compliance sound like a TED Talk.

From guiding us through process mazes to saving us during that one board meeting when the deck was jammed, you’ve been our mentor, our compass, and our Governance queen.

We’ll miss your wisdom, your warmth, and your ability to lead with grace—even when the Wi-Fi was unstable and the deadlines were not.

Thank you for everything. Your legacy lives on in our shared folders, our Padlet wall, and every time someone asks, “What would Raissa do?”

Wishing you joy, purpose, and meetings that end early. 💖

With love and a mic drop,
Basti 🎤✨
