Hi Bong,

I wish you all the best on this new chapter of your life. I'm sure na i-aangat mo ang bandera ng NPPS at ng Pilipinas because you're intelligent, goal-oriented, determined, and a lot more. Mamimiss namin yong mga jokes, hugot/banat, and lahat ng kakulitan with you. We are so proud of you and we are so happy for this milestone of yours. Looking forward also sa iyong pasabog na IG posts and stories. Enjoy SG and good luck sa studies! See you in 2 yrs! God bless, Bong! :D

Congratulations again and best of luck sa masters!! Will super duper miss our ~almost daily~ tea time!! WFH will not be the same without you and Seb being a viber message away :"( Half char ahaha. Let's keep in touch! At sana matuloy lahat ng gala plans in the near future <3 Hoping na maging stress-free na rin ang last few weeks mo dito before you fly to SG!

PS Nag-google ako if may mythical creatures din sa SG.... ingat sa Merlion! =))

Nagmamahal,

Hi Bong,

My inflation buddy sa Macro before (ilang taon ka na sa NPPS?)! I can still remember yung first year mo sa NEDA, umabot ng 6 percent ang overall PH inflation for the first time in a long time! Napasabak ka kaagad. :)

Although for sure, lahat ng challenges na hinarap natin nung time na yun (plus yung mga recent challenges) prepared you for your graduate studies! I can see how much you improved and matured these past few years, and am proud of you! Thus, confident ako that you will do well in NUS (bongga!).

Anyways, congratulations and good luck sa study leave! Study hard, but party and travel harder (basta adopt minimum health standards)! Please eat Laksa for me sa SG (in Lau Pa Sat - my favorite tambayan place)! Hopefully, we (NPPS peeps) can meet you there, if may face-to-face trainings na sa IMF-STI! Otherwise, I will tag along with Macro if may plans sila to visit you there (Mel, for your approval!) :)

We will miss your daddy jokes for some time! Remember kahit wala na ako sa Macro, please feel free to still message me if you have any questions/concerns. :)

Cheers,
Rachel B.

Hi Bong! Ingat ka sa SG! You will do well dun for sure. Hopefully pag may IMF training ma-bisita ka namin. Baka pagbalik mo Singlish ka na magsalita ah! Haha. God bless!

Naaalala kong nashookt ako kasi ang layo ng real names niyo ni Seb sa mga nicknames niyo HAHA Anyways, Thank you very much sa warm welcome sa Macro nung bago pa ako hehe. Thank you rin sa pag-guide and walang sawang pagsagot sa mga questions ko 😅 I know you’ll do well in NUS! May new audience ka na para sa mga dad jokes mo HAHAHA

Good luck and stay safe! See you in 2 years! 😁 -Dorothy

Naalala ko pa noon kinakausap kita about sa plans mo kung saan mo gusto mag aral. Wala pa ako makuhang sagot sayo dati haha. Pero I am very excited na sa huli you are about to embark na on your Grad School journey.

Nung bago ka sa NPPS, napansin ko na yung aptitude mo sa pagsusulat kaya naman laking tuwa namin na sa Macro ka napunta. Ayun nga lang, nalalaman din pag pagod ka na pag nag memo. 😛 Haha. I am sure naka adjust ka na sa phase na yun. Pero for sure, makaka encounter ka din ng mga similar experiences sa Grad School at expected din ang rigor sa NUS. Basta focus ka lang sa goal mo (studies first before landi, charot number 1) and if need ng brief breather, take it muna.Then tsaka mo na irevisit ang papers or lesson pag refreshed na.

Mukhang malapit na sa 50 percent ang fully vaccinated sa SG (36% as of 21 June), mas safe na doon kesa dito. Pero, ingat pa din at stay Covid-free.

Good luck sa studies mo, Bong. I know you'll do very well. Itayo ang bandila ng Pilipinas, at wag papatalo sa mga Intsik! (charot number 2, lols)

Sumasaiyo (Charot mumber 3😝),

P.S. Ang charot ay hindi half-meant, ito ay ginamit upang bigyang-diin ang mga punto. haha

Hi Bong! It was good news to hear that despite the pandemic you would be able to pursue your Master's degree. I wish you all the best in your studies abroad and hope you enjoy your stay in SG. Keep safe!

Hi Bong...
Congrats ulit! I remember ikaw yung first na nakilala kong
madaldal sa NPPS (I think timing kasi ikaw yung nagkukwento ng PDP regional
consultations experience mo nun sa pantry). :D

All the best in your Grad school journey. Surely, you will do well!

Feel ko naman ma-enjoy mo ang NUS-LKY haha. Sociable mga tao run, baka pagbalik mo ikaw na bumida sa mga speaking engagements ng macro hahaha (umaasa kami anyway lol). Marami kayong Pinoy sa program na 'yan, pero I advise expand mo rin horizons mo and make it a point to also make friends with other students from other countries. Part din ng experience matuto from them and learn about their culture outside the classroom.

Good luck! Masaya naman mag-grad school kahit stressful madalas haha. I guess medyo weird lang since may pandemic, pero try to make the most out of it pa rin. Pakabibo ka lang :))

P.S. Mag-uwi ka naman ng pambansang pasalubong ng Macro aka Tong Garden. Bili kang iba-ibang flavor hahahahaha. FYI meron sila sa bagong terminal, isang napakalaking shop loool.
