WE'LL MISS YOU MA'AM JENG 😭 BEST EARTH SCI COACH AND COOLEST MODERATOR 🔥

You were genuinely the first teacher I've met that was fully supportive of their students' identity and was extremely welcoming for new students in ASHS. For that, I'm grateful I was able to be part of your mod class last sy 2024-2025 :)

Catch more frogs on your next journey ma'am 😔❤ WE LOVE YOUUU

sino na po yung lalapitan ko para masharpen ang lapis ko bago magupcat ☹️

In all seriousness, thank you Ms Jeng for being the best teacher and class moderator that anyone could ask for. Thank you for inspiring me to persevere and be confident in myself despite setbacks and insecurities. Thank you for dealing with me and my circumstances this school year with endless amounts of support, patience and understanding. I couldn’t have gone through the school year without the help you’ve given me.

Never be a stranger, Ms Jeng. We are rooting for you no matter where you are 💚💚

Being the teacher who knows and probably understands me the most, I am grateful, ma'am, for your guidance, care, and love for the class and for me personally.

Apart from me seeking your advice during times I felt helpless, I was personally touched by your reflections about your personal life. Given everything you have been through, as a member of the workforce, a queer indiviual, a woman, and as a person generally, its an understatement to say that you've experienced much heartbreaks growing up. Sure, I may not know and even undertand the full story and context of what you've been through, but I can attest that your words alone were enough to make me feel rather, ...heard.

You know me, ma'am. You know the things I've been experiencing. And I cannot really emphasize enough how much it really helps to know that I am not alone in facing struggles of fitting in and being accepted. As I said, I was touched, but maybe a better word to put it would be: heartfelt. I felt as if someone truly understands me--that I was put in a place where I felt like I belonged.

You're brave, ma'am. You're strong and amazing. But most of all, you're an inspiration. I'm not sure if you see that in yourself, but I hope you know that your stories and your character is what helps people like me keep living life and pursue what we love in spite of what the world has to throw at us. It may not be said explicitly, but your teachings go far beyond academics--they tell me to keep doing what I love, become a good person, become and love who I want to be wholeheartedly, and stand up and be there for myself especially at times when I feel like the whole world is against me.

To end this, I may not know your reason for retirement (baka napagod kana samin eme HAHAHA), but I hope you know that your legacy has been intact within us, especially for me. You have been able to teach us students to be inclusive, respectful, and loving to our neighbors despite whatever judgement people throw. Your presence has been an essential building block to our developement here in our environment, provided all the love you've given us. I, personally, will make it a goal to be a person people can look up to--someone who embodies love and success in my own terms, just as you did when you continued to show up everyday as the teacher who has got our backs when we are in times of difficulty.

Love you ma'am Jeng. I'll continue supporting your endevours here from the sidelines. Keep being the inspiration that you are 🤍

GOOD BYEEE Ms. Jeng :(((, I hope you get to do what you love. I hope that this school year is not the last time we see each other, may we meet each other in the future :))))))

hi ma'am jeng! ✋

First of all, I am grateful for being your student in my junior year in the senior high school. I appreciate the lessons you had ingrained to me: different classifications of rocks, the various terminologies for disaster risk, your life story as a geologist and much more that I could not remember as I am writing this. I remember most especially your story as a geologist where you shared with the class the challenges of being a female geologist. You shared that being a female geologist is not easy given the stigma that it is a male dominated career. This personal story of yours has inspired me to stand my own ground that it is important to believe in your self even if some people may doubt your own capacities. Hearing this too has enabled me to become a better lover of Science given its nature of knowing several concepts by heart in a short amount of time.

I am thankful too for your time as our class moderator. I know that our class may be misbehaved at times, but I appreciate that you still continue to love us despite our shortcomings. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to also express ourselves through the student led reflection (pero di ako nag share haha), and this hopes to serve as an avenue to knowing your students better. Additionally, I am grateful too for the times I have received a sticker that continuously motivates me (btw, i still have the frog sticker you have given me in the front page of my notebook). Furthermore, our class appreciates the support you have given us during events such as our KFD where you have helped us in finding a sticker supplier, strand day, Bukluran, and even during our year end party where some of us watched with you Gonjiam. I never thought that our year end last May 6 would be our last meeting, albeit, looking back, I believe that we have treasured this moment properly with you.

To tie everything I have stated, I hope that the lessons you have imparted to me and to the students you taught will continue to be lived out with the different roads we are in life. There have been many students besides from me that you have inspired by just looking in this Padlet page. I wish that you share the same zeal with whatever path you have chosen to take. Continue to lighten up people whom you will encounter.

Paalam at maraming salamat, Ma'am Jeng! 👋

I’m honestly not the most eloquent person when it comes to writing goodbye messages, but thank you po for being our section’s class advisor and Earth Science teacher. You made my and our first year of ASHS really a fun and enjoyable rollercoaster ride, and gave life to the subjects you taught. Goodbye po and I wish you the best in your future endeavors (keep catching those frogs 🐸🐸🐸).

HI Maam Jeng, thank you for being one of the best teachers and moderators I have had throughout my stay here in the Ateneo. Thank you for your hard work in moderating Mayer through the SY 2024-2025 (even though I know it was frustrating sometimes). I wish you well and goodluck po in wherever your journey may lead you and your future endeavors. (From Ajiel)

Hi Ms. Jeng !! a bit out of place kasi di naman ako student niyo this year but I just wanted to say thank you for everything you've taught me back in 11th grade. Everyday we had science, we never said it but all of Realino was looking forward to your "How are you Toad-ay" spiel. That small bit really helped lift up my spirits after a stressful day. I wish you good luck wherever you may go ma'am ! (From Faye)

Dear Ma’am Jeng,

Hi Ma’am! Just wanted to thank you for all the memories we shared and the learnings I’ve obtained from you. From the day I first met you for the Geology training until that final farewell in the party, I knew you weren’t just a capable teacher but a wholesome human being too. How fate brought me as your student the following year is something that I genuinely am thankful for  😸.

Purely memorization po ung EarthSci at DRRR pero somehow super helpful talaga ung teaching style ninyo its very unique and exceptional. Even if we may be quiet most of the time, you truly inspired our class to do our best and fight for what we believe in. Sobrang touching po ung message nyo saken on IG Ma’am you don’t know how much that meant to me 🥺. I usually hide how I really feel most of the time by acting jocose but you still insisted in giving me that message 💗. Mamimiss ko talga mga how are you toadays nyo esp next sy.

You not only taught us about the Earth, or Hazards, or Frog - for me these academics are all secondary knowledge that a person should have, and I experienced this SY that the primary one is one’s morals and principles. You were that bridge that connected us to the courage and drive needed to seek out what's meaningful to us, so we could really build our self-respect and believe in who we are becoming. To be able to to teach us, motivate us, comfort us, bond with us showed how much effort you were giving.

Nakaka-inspire po talaga kayo, it was indeed a journey that won’t be erased from my mind ever. I’m glad to have started SHS with you 😊. You might have gotten 2 nonchalant classes 2 years in a row, but I hope you were still able to cherish the experiences and the relationships we fostered. Because of that, I rate you a diamond out of 10💎! Bless you and your family, hope you have a pleasant future ahead of you!

hi ms jeng!

Thank you for being with us throughout these final years of high school. I would do it all over again with you as my mod! I still remember very clearly your closing reflection on our very last day. Even since then, I've been trying and trying to be the best version of myself, and I'm always inspired to work harder because of you.

Your reflections during mip never failed to get my attention, whether it be from your humor, moving stories, or hard-hitting truths. I hope that our student-led reflections moved you as much as yours moved me. Your enthusiasm during earthsci or drrr always made me more interested, and I was never lost when it was you teaching. I hope that whatever endeavor waiting for you allows you to keep sharing your skills and passions, inspiring people like us do the same.

Goodbye po! Thank you for everything 🥹

hi ma'am jeng!

coming from a conservative school (and family, as well), i was never truly able to express myself in such settings. however, after coming into ateneo and having you as our mod, i've come to realize that no matter where we are, we shouldn't feel that way! :) we should be able to be ourselves without fear of judgement, wherever we are. your story is a testimony of that.

it isn't easy and for sure, there'll be times when others' perceptions and criticisms of ourselves may affect us, but ma'am, you're an example of how to overcome those struggles and work around and against them. you're genuinely the strongest, bravest woman i know, and i know that you'll always be one step closer to achieving your dreams day by day.

thank you for the best first year in admu, ma'am!

# data[].attributes.body
hi po, ms. jeng! thank you for being the best mod ever! thank you for always encouraging us and for always reminding us that we matter. i'll never forget your earthsci and drrr lessons (real). like what you asked me during our last conversation, i hope you're happy din po, especially on your new beginning! thank you po for the memorable sy and good luck on your next journeyyyy!!

Hi maam!

I thought that I'll be able to get my class pic from u next sy but it turns out that you won't be coming back :(. Thank u po for being able to bear with us for the whole year even though we may have given u a hard time hahhahahahha. I'll remember u as one of the teachers that whenever I look at the schedule ahead, I would feel relieved on having you as our next subject because you boost our energy even during exhausting days. It's sad to see that future juniors wouldn't be able to experience your slides full of toads anymore and the passion you have for teaching.

I hope for the best on your next journey and thank u po for the opportunity on becoming your last moderating class!

# data[].attributes.body
hellooo po, ms. jeng, my fave g11 mod!!!

"always strive to become the best version of yourself" -- that is a line I will carry with me forever because of you po!!! it serves as a constant reminder to give myself the time and space to grow :))

please know that your constant guidance and care in this class will not go unnoticed. you've served as an inspiration to many of us in many ways. thank you po for showing us how you've challenged conventional standards and embraced yourself.  I hope we can all continue to stand up for this kind of authenticity in our own lives. hahshahh, sad po na we're approaching our goodbyes, but i'm truly grateful that you have made a big mark in our SHS journey. i'll always cherish all the moments and interactions we've had po!!! i wish you the best toaday and every day!!!

continue being the stongest, miss jeng. thank you again. ingat po, alwayss. <3

BYE PO MAAM :( ! Thank you for making me feel welcome from the very start. As a transferee, that meant the world to me. Your way of teaching made every session fun and memorable.Mayer will TOADALLY miss you. Keep inspiring others the way you inspired us!

hi po ma’am!

to be honest, i’ve never been interested in geology. i always thought physics or biology were more inherently interesting! but, being in your earth science class… it MADE geology interesting! your skill, charisma, and passion for both science and education came through and really made your lectures and sessions stand out in my mind.

you were one of my fav teachers this year ma’am. whatever you do in the future, i hope you find great success, and i hope you keep on being yourself. also happy pride month!

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you for inspiring so many students and sparking the passion in them to learn. You have inspired me personally with your wonderful personality, enthusiastic teaching, and digestible lessons. You've always brightened my day with seeing how I felt toaday and truly caring for the students. I really appreciated how you allowed us to truly learn but still remaining fun for the students. From fun lessons and engaging activities, to great laughs and amazing stories, you kept us hooked while learning DRRR and Earth Science. Though I don't have the best memory, everytime I see something geology related I can practically hear your voice repeating things back and answering our curiosities. You've always been there for us and supporting us. I would have never thought of doing a Pokémon based EarthSci portfolio without your encouragement :DD. (I got to boss around Miguel and Meowt- I mean David cause of that too >:3c) Everytime I see a member of the typholsion line, I always remember your absolute passion and love for Quilava. I felt seen with my own little Lapras obsession (I 💙 Lapras). I also really love how you support artists at art markets! I love going to events like Komiket and PoTA because I'm able to buy art i find beautiful and support local artists! I like your taste in trinkets as well myheheheheh :3. Seeing the things you bring to the class always makes me smile like your washi tape :D. I was part of the previously most active column for a reason. Both the little cats, but also because I'm genuinely motivated to learn. I'm sure a lot of people in Moscoso were thrilled as well. Even if some lessons were hard, you kept it engaging and informative for us despite the time constraints. (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶) .ᐟ.ᐟ

I really appreciate as well the tokens and sudden side quest we had. It was just the right time and place so you could finish your Pokémon card collection. Seeing your passion for pokemon makes me really happy as well as a fellow fan. My espeon and I were more than happy to help out! ٩(｡•◡•｡)۶

I cannot thank you enough for all the things you've done. You've really touched the lives of so many students in ways that truly mean so much.Though you are leaving ASHS, I am very grateful to have been part of this family while you were here as well.

Hi Ma'am ! know i never really recited in class but it doesn't mean i didn't enjoy/listen in class HAHHAHAHAHA. You teach with so much passion and it really is infectious! Thank you for everything that you have done for us your students. I have 2 memories that i tie to you. 1st being this picture, really early on to the school year, that day was when started to feel comfortable after moving schools. You were always one of my comfort teachers. I love the "How are you Toad-ays". That simple gesture made me feel seen and cared about. The prizes that you give i put behind my phone case and it reminds me that I can do it. 2nd was the reflection you gave us for women's month. That one meant a lot to me because my dream job is to be a person in stem. Honestly it was a bit scary to hear your experience, especially as someone that is queer. But hearing experiences of people like me is comforting in a sense that I don't feel as alone.

I am toad-ally greatful for all of the lessons you have taught me. I really hope whatever comes next for you, that you are happy with it. Because I really do believe you deserve all of the good this world has to offer. 🐸❤️ — ry

Hello maam!! When I first settled into Ateneo I had been nothing but a train of emotions for the first few weeks. Meeting new people, getting used to the new curriculum and overall just being in a new environment I wasn’t very familiar with really got to me. However, when you first introduced yourself in front of the class with this big ball of energy, I felt a lot more at ease. This energy remained even in our lectures, making seemingly boring topics to be fun to learn, competitive, and just overall stuck with us even at the end of the semester. But my most memorable memory was when you reflected a really personal story to the class. It was the first time Ive seen you this vulnerable, to the point I may or may not almost teared up a bit. While our experiences are vastly different, that story resonated with me in a lot of ways. It made me feel a little seen, and I’m sure a lot of the women in our class could agree upon.

And with that I thank you. For letting yourself be open to us, for going out of your way to teach something beyond the lesson plan. These things may not necessarily be part of your job description, but it shows just how much you care about your students.

I hope that whatever lies ahead you’d face it with a smile. That throughout the hardships, the obstacles, the messy path that continues to stop your way, that ultimately, you did what’s best for you.

Thank you, Ma’am Jeng! I wish you the best!

-Toni <3

It was and always will be irreplaceable to me how understanding and kind and relatable you were, especially in the toughest and most work-flooded moments of the school year. I believe that you are the kind of person who can show that kindness to whomever you may meet in the future, and can conquer everything else life can throw at you by doing so.

I wish you all the best, ma’am! I am honored to have been your student.

We’re all so grateful for you. 🩷🩷🩷

Dearest Ma’am Jeng,

Thank you for being the moderator that lakam needed :) Every time we were faced with a hurdle that seemed too big for us to handle, you never hesitated to help us. I remember during Eksa, I was panicking and yet, I was able to calm down once I asked you for guidance. I truly am grateful that despite how many times I felt overwhelmed, I can always talk to you during org sessions and even outside of it.

Though we may not always show it, please know that Lakambini will always be grateful for your presence—that we, as a Sandigan, wouldn’t have understood nor fought as hard for our advocacy if it wasn’t for your continuous reminder on why fighting for gender equality was important and necessary.

As you leave ADMU with us seniors (#downthehill 😆), I hope you remember how big of an impact you left on each one of your students. We wish you the best of luck on your next journey, ma’am! 🩷 Visit us when u can pls 🙏

Sincerely,

Riean :)

dear ma’am jeng,

i just wanted to take the time to say thank you for everything you’ve done for us during our junior year in ashs. knowing that you’ll be leaving ateneo is honestly bittersweet. we’re excited for what’s ahead for you, as we’re sure you’ll achieve great things. however, it’s like a sad realization that we won’t be able to greet you in the hallways during our senior year, or that the incoming juniors won’t he sble to experience what it’s like to be in your class.

you were our guide, and someone who mad a huge difference during such an important year. for many of us transferees, it was a time of adjustment, uncertainty, and trying to find our place in a very diverse community. yet, having you as our moderator made everything feel lighter, with your kindness, warmth, and jokes.

ma’am, i hope you know that your classes were one of a kind. i’m not really fond of science, hehe, but the way you taught made me, and i’m sure a lot of your other students, actually look forward to learning. i won’t forget your “how are you toaday” slides, and the energy you brought into every session. i also really appreciated your reflections and personal stories during MIP. you always reminded us to pause, to reflect, and to be the best versions of ourselves.

as class president, i want to really thank you for the way you supported me. leading the class wasn’t always easy, since most of us in the class were “nonchalant” or just had different interests. it was actually also my first time being a class president, so i really appreciated how you were always willing to help, listen, and encourage.

i hope you know that your presence in our lives made a lasting impact. you carry with you not just the knowledge and skills of a great teacher, but the warmth and kindness of someone who truly made a difference in our lives.

once again, thank you ma’am! we’ll miss you so much, but surely, your influence will stay with us. wishing you nothing but joy and success on all the roads that lie “toaday” and beyond!

all the love,

lara ❤️‍🩹

To the teacher na palaging nangangamusta ng students gamit ng toads, I would like to express how much you helped me learn this school year. Ikaw po kasi, although usually masigasig ka maam and very flexible in pacing the lesson, alam nyo rin po when to be stern and firm when it comes to tolerating us. Nonetheless, sobrang blessing maam na palagi po naming nakikita kang nakangiti sa klase at sa mga buwan na mabigat ang pakiramdam namin at nawawalan po kami ng gana na gumana ang utak, nakatulong at nakagaan po talaga na pumasok sa klase nyo at matutuo sapagkat nakakainspire ka maam na kahit sa anong hirap ng buhay, lagi't laging magkakaroon ng rason para ngumiti, kaya salamat po maam, ingat po palagi!

Good day, Ma’am Jeng! I recently heard the news about your situation, and as much as I am sad to say my goodbyes, I am happy for how much you have done for us. Thank you for being a great teacher. You made me interested in Earth Science, even if I do not recite much, hehe.. But nonetheless, you really brought a lot to us. Not as a teacher, but almost like a parent. I remembered when you checked on me when I looked like I was alone (I was actually waiting for my friends), and honestly, that was really heartwarming. It made my day at the time, and still remained a core memory. Thank you po, Ma’am Jeng. I hope nothing but the best for you!

Sincerely,

Ms. Jeng,

We never had a picture together, but I do have a picture of the award you gave me before the school year ended. I remember the day I got that award. I was feeling so down because my academic performance was so bad, and I kept bringing myself down more. That week was also the week I kept crying and breaking down, and I was so sad because I didn't know how to cope with everything bad that's happening around me anymore. But then one of my classmates handed it to me. I asked what it was, and they told me it was from you. I looked at it, stared at it for a while, then started smiling and tearing up a bit. Getting that award made not only my whole day but my whole week.

That award made me feel seen.

I know this isn't a typical thank you message, but this is what I wrote because I believe this shows who you are as a person, Ms. Jeng. It shows how caring and thoughtful you are, and what a wonderful teacher and person you've been. Throughout the whole school year of 2024-2025, you never failed to make me smile with all the "How are you toad-ays?", the constant random jokes during class, and the stickers you gave as rewards during recitation.

Thank you for making me laugh during days that were so gloomy. Thank you for teaching us with so much love and care to the point that we can feel happiness lingering around the room. And most importantly, thank you for making Science fun. I know I wasn't the best-performing student during the first parts of the first and second sem, but I was constantly improving because I had more motivation to listen to class because of your fun jokes. You really helped me cope, and I’ll surely miss having you around.

I wish you the best in your journey, Ms. Jeng! I know you're going to do well! I'm not sure if you're going to get asked this phrase again or ask someone this phrase again, so for the last time and so that you have something to go back to,

Ms. Jeng, how are you toad-ay?
