Mother, thank you for bringing me into this world. You literally means so much to me. Thank you so much for everything especially your care, love and for understanding me since day 1. Thank you for being my mother, my best friend and my first love too!

In case you didn't know, na appreciate nako tanan imong gibuhat for me, you may be busy sa work even bagyo or unsa pana nga need jud mag office, I witnessed how passionate and genuine you are to serve the public ever since when I was young but never jud mawala ang pasalubong, food, surprises na manglibre kag kalit and napa feel jud nimo sa akua ang love sa isa ka mother sa iyang anak. Kung unsa nimo ka love ang food, ako pud haha! Mother, I admire your generosity and soft heart maong I'm just so lucky, grateful and blessed na ikaw akong mother!! ♥️

It's payback time! Travel and food trip with you and the fam soon! I miss you everyday and I love you so much mommy! ♥️♥️

Dear Ma'am Degs,

As you leave your office today, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude for the warm welcome you gave me on the day I began my humble journey with the DSWD.

You continued to be our mentor, always loving and kind. You performed as one of the pillars of Social Marketing as an indefatigable Information Officer who endured the pressures of our rigorous task.

May your excellent impact blossom onto us and may you enjoy the life where you can still bloom and live a pleasant existence out of tension and paper works.

We are grateful for our priceless memories of you. Ma'am Degs, I will forever treasure you. God bless.

Ma’am Degs thank you so much for being a good boss and a mentor even for a very short time of working together. You are truly an exceptional leader and very welcoming kaayo ka Ma’am pagsulod nako. Di gyud ko makalimot Ma’am nga gituyok ko nimo sa offices sa first day nako Ma’am sa PSD. Thank for treating me as a professional and showing me the ropes on the comms culture sa DSWD po which is very different sa PIA. Ma’am salamat kaayo for the guidance and the chance to learn from you in this lifetime. There will be no goodbyes Ma’am Degs. Just see you around Ma’am. Enjoy your retirement Ma’am and may The Good Lord shower you with more blessings and may He grant the desires of your heart Ma’am. I love you Ma’am Degs ❤️

For all those times you stood by me. For all the encouragement you have given me when I am at the verge of giving up and for the acceptance of being me - thank you Ate Degs!

Wala na koy masangpit pa check sa grammar, etc sa ako mga reports Ate Degs, but, life must go on. You have to retire from the government service and enjoy the life you deserve. I will always remember your words - "dili magpa stress kay masakit.ka stress ulcer ana".

Hope we can still have time to bond with mommy edith - quick lunch at Beanstalk or Chickies&Patties, beachin' at Sta. Cruz... and most especially, UNTA MADAYON NA TA SA WAGON Ate Degs 😀😀😀

I will be missing you Ate Degs. Thanks for all the laughters and for sharing my tears. This is not goodbye, but 'TIL WE MEET AGAIN, Ate Degs... 😘😘😘 Love - Tata G.
