My Fellow Batangas Buddy
Hi AJ,
Trust you are well (hahahah).
Kidding aside, I am very happy that I got to work with you here in the Orange Team. Apart from being kind and understanding, you are friendly, approachable, and a real buddy who also happens to come from my favorite province, diga 😊 . I really wish we could have had more time working together as we were able to push through many engagements with your guidance. Thank you especially for your help with the FY2020 Sony Electronics engagement – it was hellish and a pain but we were able to push through despite our “fun” and “magical” additive approach hahahah.
As discussed previously let’s go Lomi hunting the next time we happen to be in Batangas 😊. I want to receive your insights on the best restaurants in the “Ala eh” region hahahah. You do live quite near my lola’s house after all. Also, we can also have a road trip to Batangas from Manila or vice versa one day so you can have nice company and I can practice my Batangas accent with you “ayooooon.”  Also, this approach is safe in light of the pandemic era and can save us fuel and gasoline costs so I am pitching this :D
Good luck to your endeavors! I hope one day you can join your brother in New Zealand. From my experience visiting there, it is a beautiful and peaceful country filled with green fields populated with the most handsome cows in the world. It is the perfect place to retire hahaha.
Take care always, my friend.
Anton

AJYAHHH!!!

Super duper sad talaga na di ka na namin makakawork huhu hope na mas mahaba pa yung time natin together. Paulit-ulit ko mang sasabihin, sobrang naappreciate ko talaga na sobrang approachable mo and willing ka talaga iexplain samin yung mga hindi namin magets and willing din makinig sa views/thoughts namin. Ang ganda nung work environment with you kasi alam mong hindi bawal magkamali and we’re learning every step of the way kasi nandiyan ka lagi to guide us. I look up to your leadership style kasi super gaan mong kawork. Lalo na sa enagagements na I was looped in na ending na and super urgent where we need to do a lot of homework din para mafinish yung engagements omgg di ako alam paano namin yun matatapos without your help!!!💖

And aside from work, naappreciate ko din yung call natin Coach AJ!! You were so g to listen to all my plans kahit na I’m sharing na I’m not sure pa talaga on my future life/career decisions😂 Alam ko nagshare ka din ng future plans/dilemmas mo. 💖 Chat ka parin samin lagi if you have kwentos especially life updates!!! Grabe mamimiss ka din namin sa chika calls, monday team calls and game nights!!!

WAHHHH nagsink-in lang sakin na aalis ka na nung nagkaroon kami ng call na five nalang kami sa Orange team huhu SUPER ULTRA MEGA THANK YOU SO MUCH TALAGA, AJ!!!💖💖💖 SALAMAT IN ALL ASPECTS!!! We’re gonna miss you!!! Good luck sa next journey mo! HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!🎉🎉🎉 Chill and have fun!!! Tuloy mo na yung cooking plans mo! And, I hope you find na talaga kung ano yung passion mo and you pursue kung ano man yung gusto mo talaga! GOOD LUCK!!! SOOO ROOTING FOR YOU!!! Balitaan mo kami! AND Kita-kita tayo soon if hindi na malala yung number of cases! Ingat ka palagi and God bless, AJ!💖

AJ!!

Super hindi ako nagbibiro nung kinuwento ko before na mag-reresign na sana talaga ako. Super hirap kasi talaga before dahil sa problematic team members, Co-TLs ni Eman, weird engagements, tsaka bago pa lahat ng managers din nun so baliw pa kami lahat. Nag-aabang lang talaga ako ng Orange Team saving grace nun kasi feel ko talaga mamamatay na kaming lahat.

And saving grace we got!!!!! Grabe AJ talaga I think you'd never understand just how much you saved the team from falling apart. Not only were you a super effective and approachable TL, but you really walked the talk for us so many times! Super na-appreciate ko yun kasi for the longest time, no one has been doing that here aside from Eman sometimes. Nanibago ako nang sobra nung hindi na ako gumagawa ng lahat kasi tinutulungan mo talaga kami tapos minsan ina-absorb mo pa yung associate work from us. Nahihiya nga ako before kasi omg manager gumagawa ng grunt work pero super na-inspire ako dun. I totally love your leadership style and I only hope I was able to absorb some of it so I can also become an awesome leadership figure in the future. Gulat na gulat kami ni Jen before kasi ang bilis bilis mo matapos yung mga stuff hahaha HOW TBH???? Pero I guess that really shows the wealth of your experience and how well-seasoned you have become over your career journey. Im super happy to have worked alongside an excellent professional role model like you.

I'm extremely grateful that you also became a friend. As a super friend-centric person kasi, one of my biggest fears talaga upon entering the workforce was that people might be super professional and uptight all the time and I might have to change that part of me completely. Lalo na nung nalaman namin na Manager pala yung papasok sa team namin HAHAHA natakot din kami slight. But as all saving graces save much more than what needed saving, having you lead our team has given me so much hope that my career journey will be filled with so much joy and fun also. I super agree with everything Rishi said, that you're a very approachable and charming person to whom we can confide with regarding everything - technical proficiency development, career guidance, and just life in general. Mega thanks talaga for listening to all my doubts and worries about life, and for giving me really insightful advice.

Of course we all know that Orange Team is forever and that we will never forget each other. But nonetheless, NEVER HESITATE to chat me about anything - chika, food, music, travel, aka my 4 pillars of existence, and anything, really!

I hope that you get the rest that you deserve so much after working so hard all these years. I'm dead sure that once you are filled with renewed life and energy, you will set the world on fire again.

Cheers,
Ivan

AJAAAEEEEE

🥺🥺🥺🥺
Hindi ko padin naaccept na wala ka na sa orange GRRR. I still remember the first convo we had, nasa HR orientstion tayo and i was like "Sir Anthony" O M G HAHAHAHAHAHHA. Tas the time i knew, AS I KNEW WE WERE GOING TO VIBE WHEN I SANG "DOLLAR DOLLAR" AND YOU SAID IS THAT GO GO NY BTS SOBRANG LAKAS NG INTERNAL SCREAMING KO AJ MY GOODNESS.

Disclaimer: sorry in advance if magulo toh and all, you know me and my kalat brain HAHAHAHA

First, i just want to say that i really appreciate you sharing with me your ~feels~ during the time you were deciding on staying or not. Thank you for trusting me and confiding with me what you were feeling and going through. And kahit wala ka na sa deloitte, I will ALWAYS BE HERE FOR U, AS IN ALWAYS. Pero ngl umiyak talaga ako when you messaged me that you talked to sir, lowkey crying din now as I'm writing this HAHAHAHA

Okay next work wise, when Ivan said that you were one of the people that makes him stay sa orange, I 110% agree with him. I guess since we started together I've grown attached to you HAHAHA. I would say, for my firdt job you were like my security blanket as i slowly eased into the working life. I knew i could count on you to help and guide me. I could be myself and go to ask about the most babaw questions and i never feel judged. You were always my go to person about everything and anything, whether it was for a new hire requirement or for an emgagement. Thank you for all the patience you have given to me and the team. Thank you for all the hardwork you have put in just to make sure we deliver. Thank you for the time spent in teaching the team and me on certain terms and topics, ESPECIALLY ME WHEN IT COMES TO ACCOUNTING THINGS. I could have never asked for a better TL/AM to have worked under and with. Even though you were only with us for a short amount of time, I have learned so much from you, both in technical and soft skills.

As a person, you are one of the kindest, most gentle soul i have ever met 🥺 you are honestly sunshine as well. You are so amazing that i would say you are one of my role models. I aspire to be as kind, patience, knowledge seeking, and compassionate as you WAHHHH.

I am really gonna miss just being able to medsage you on teams. I'm going to miss random calls and chikas, and even if that call is to cram something for work like SWPB BM or NTT 1709 😂 I'll cherish all the up and downs we've gome through together and hopefully make more memories along the way. I am so grateful to have met a leader and friend like you 🤍✨

Lastly, i am wishing nothing but THE BEST for you. I hope while you take your break, you may find what your loooing for. That your mind may get the rest you DESERVE!!! Looking forward to see where lofe will take you and will always be a step behind rooting for you and cheering you on!!!

As always please feel free to message me for any concerns char. PERO AJ PLEASE FEEL FREE TO MESSAGE ME ABOUT ANYTHING, AKO PA SIS. BTS MESSAGE ME, KDRAMA MESSAGE ME, LOVE FOR FRIED CHICKEN MESSAGE. I AM ALWAYS ONE MESSAGE AWAY.

WAH BORAHAE AJ, WISHING YOU NOTHING BUT THE BEST MWAH

Hi AJ!

Even if di tayo masyado nagkasama sa work, just wanted to tell you na ang una kong nafeel sayo is parang sobrang galing mo sa tax hehehe. Keep doing what you do best and the rest will follow!

Hey AJ,

I think nasabi ko na rin sa’yo a few weeks ago, but just wanted to send my best wishes again as you take on this next journey. I’m certain you will happily find yourself in new heights! Thank you for your friendship and help with work. How I wish we could’ve all had more time to work with you…or maybe mainly to drink and have fun outside work. Haha! Hopefully when it’s safer, we can still do just that.

In the meantime, virtual cheers and good luck! Pag nagkita tayo, for sure may sarili ka nang firm!

Best,
Rafa

Hi AJ,

Even if super short period lang tayo nakapag work, it was really fun and smooth. I feel like you're one of the coolest manager din here in TP because of your personality and maybe dahil parehas tayong Batangueno. Ala eh! I have nothing to say na and good luck on your career, AJ. Stay safe always!

Regards,
Jerome

Hi Boss AJ!

It's sad that we only got the opportunity to work together during your last month here in TP. Ang masasabi ko lang, you're super nice and easy to talk to. When I tested positive for Covid-19, I appreciate that you were checking up on me every single day.  Appreciate your concern.

I wish you luck on your future endeavors. I  know this is not the last time na mag-uusap tayo. Hahaha. Keep in touch sir! Don't hesitate to message me on social media if you need someone to talk to. Will always make time for you papi!

Hi AJ,

I know we didn't really get to work together a lot during your stay here but in the few times we did (during your last few days), I can say that it was really fun! It was such a pleasure to get to know you. Of course, I am definitely sad that you are leaving before we got close.

Nonetheless, I wish you luck on your future endeavors. I honestly believe that you will do amazing. Keep doing what your doing!

Stay safe and hope we keep in touch!

You are the first person to interact within DT PH upon my joining. Unfortunately, our timing is bit odd as I am bidding you farewell within my second week. But it is my pleasure getting to know you, and I wish you all the best in your future endeavours. I hope our paths may cross again!

Hello, AJ!

We haven't worked together that much but I'll remember you as my first coach. :) Wishing you the best in your career and personal life!

P.S. Despite being batchmates with my college professor, I just want to tell that age gap didn't matter at all when working with you hahahaha <3

Hi Anthony!!!

Huhuhuhuhuhuhuhu wala akong ibang masabi but huhuhuhuhuhuhu. Honestly AJ di ko pa iniisip na aalis ka na, I keep pushing the thought away but now that we're supposed to write you a message its slowly sinking in : (((((((((

AJJJJJ, TP was for sure lucky to have you in the short time youve shared with us. Orange team all the more. And ako ata yung pinakathankful and lucky to have you around!! Thank you for all the memories!! Alam mo kahit ang konti lang ng interactions natin, Im glad I found a friend and colleague in you :) I dont say much about it but I look up to you and your leadership style. I can only hope to be like you someday.

Sana pag nag back to normal na wala ka pa sa NZ. :/ I really hope to see you in person and makainuman (kahit di ka umiinom) hahaha im going to miss my co-probinsya net and the #1 best artist in skribbl (sorry Abby)!!

Sincerely sad to see you go but also very happy for you.

Love you AJJJJ. <3 Dont be a stranger!!! Youre going to miss my "mabilisang" chikka :p

Sir, thank you for that single coaching session that we had! Hahaha I was very comfortable in sharing my long-term plans to you because of your amicable attitude. We didn't have a chance to extensively work with each other but... yaan mo na inom na lang tayo HAHAHAHA Sayang di pa kita nabubuhat sa ML joke HAHAHAHHAHAHA Chat mo lang ako sir kung g tayo. Also, no hard feelings nung nilaglag ko yung age gap natin nung team building ha HAHAHAHAHA kitakits soon, sir!

Hi Aj,

Kahit na nakapagwork lang ako with you for a very short time, I really had fun talking with you. So I am hoping that in the future, we can get to have a fun convo again. Thank you for being nice to everyone. Just know that I will always be your friend, and if there is anything you want to talk about, you can just chat me. Don't be a stranger!

Hi AJ,

Just wanted to wish you the best of luck on your future endeavors. I always had fun during our meetings, especially for internship/recruitment, because of your sunny personality. I have no doubts you'll go far.

Let's stay connected, please! Stay safe ILY

First of all thanks for your help in DRMS!! hahaha..

I will never forget our Beko FAR experience, Ivan hope you would agree. Albeit small but the experience was so good while working with you. You are always devoted, hardworking and loyal towards work. I was hoping for many more projects with you.

Take risks and do something out of the box. Doors of Deloitte will always open for you and stay connected.

Waiting for AJ 2.0

Thanks,
Amit

Hi AJ,

Even though we've only worked together for a while, it was really working with you. I learned a lot from the way you perceive things and I know that the next people who get to work with you will also be inspired by your work.

I wish you all the best for your future endeavors  and I hope you find the right place for you. You really were so easy to work with and I have no complaints whatsoever, except maybe one. I hoped that we got to work together longer.

Nonetheless, it was a pleasure to meet you and I hope to see you soon. CHZ ;) Don't be a stranger, okay? Mwah!
