Dahil sayo, mas na-appreciate ko ang numbers. Dati parang suntok sa buwan, pero nung ikaw na po nagtuturo, parang kinakain ko na lang sila — minsan lasang 3.14159, minsan lasang E=mc² ( EMS WHAHAHAHHAA) Ang hirap po talaga ng Physics, pero pag ikaw yung nagtuturo, biglang nagiging comfort food ko po yung equations. At kahit dedma ako sa Meteorology, ikaw pa rin yung bagyo ng wisdom at lindol ng laughter sa room. Kahit mahirap, nagiging magaan kasi ikaw po yung guide namin.

Pasensya na sir kung anu-anong information about you ang hindi mo poo alam pero alam ko (baka dine-deny mo lng kc sir?).

Maraming salamat, Sir Phabe, sa pagiging tatay namin. Sana more coffee moments, more tawa p po, at more kwentuhan pa. At kung may exam man, sana kasama rin yung unlimited kape para di kami maubusan ng energy! joke GWHAHAHHA

love u sir!

Sir, hindi lamang po kaalaman ang naibibigay ninyo sa amin kundi inspiration and hope. Ang inyong dedikasyon, sipag, at malasakit po ay nagsisilbing gabay sa amin bilang mga future educators. We are very blessed to have a teacher and mentor  na gaya ninyo po. Punong puno ng talino, kababaang-loob, at malasakit sa mga students. Ganiyan niyo po kami kamahal sir, kaya sobrang mahal ka rin po namin!

Salamat po sa patuloy niyong paggabay at sa pagbibigay ng tiwala at kumpiyansa sa aming mga kakayahan. Huwag po kayong magdadalawang-isip na ipagpatuloy ang inyong misyon dahil napakarami pa po kayong estudyanteng matutulungan at ma-inspire, kagaya ko. Maraming, maraming salamat po, Sir Phabe!

Love u so so much!

You may not realize it, but our four years here at CTE have become more bearable because of you. Thank you for being our “pahinga.” Thank you for being the best mentor every student could ever ask for. Thank you for being one of the people who inspired us to keep fighting for our spot as Science majors.

I’ll make you proud, Sir. We, the last 10 standing, will make you proud. Mananatiling sampu hanggang dulo… kasama ka❤️.

Sir, gusto ko pong magpasalamat sa iyo. Noong una po, akala ko mahirap kayong maging teacher. Mahigpit po kayo, seryoso, at parang mahirap makalapit. Natakot pa nga kami sa umpisa kasi baka hindi namin kayanin ang klase ninyo. Pero habang tumatagal, doon po namin nakita na hindi lang kayo basta teacher—parang tatay na rin kayo sa amin.

Yung mga tinuturo mo po sa amin, hindi lang puro lessons sa libro. Lagi kayong may kasamang payo tungkol sa buhay, sa totoo lang sir lahat ng words of wisdom na sinasabi mo po sa amin ay nakatatak pa rin sa puso at isipan ko na kung saan ay bibitbitin ko hanggang maabot ko ang mga pangarap ko. Minsan simpleng linya lang ang sinasabi ninyo, pero ramdam namin ang bigat at halaga. Kaya pala kayo mahigpit, kasi gusto mo kaming matuto nang totoo at maging handa sa buhay.

Salamat po sa pagiging pahinga naming mga 4th years simula pa nung una kaming tumapak sa college na ito. Hindi mo lang po alam kung gaano namin na-aappreciate yung mga ginagawa niyo po para sa amin, yung simpleng “sige, 10mins muna para sa power nap niyo bago tayo magsimula sa klase.” sobrang halaga na po sa amin iyon, ikaw po yung teacher na nakapa-realize sa amin na may nakakaintindi pa rin pala sa amin. Noong may problema kaming grupo, ikaw po ang naging tulay para magkaayos at marinig ang sides ng bawat isa, salamat po.

Alam niyo po ba sir na ikaw rin po ang isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit nagkakaroon na ako ng confidence humarap sa mga bata ngayon, sobrang salamat po sir at nakatulong po sa akin lahat ng pangaral at paalala niyo po.

Words are not enough to express my gratitude to you, Sir. But one thing is for sure, I promise to make you proud as your student at kapag ang last 10 standing ay nakapasa na sa licensure examination for teachers, babalik kami sainyo para magpasalamat.

Happy Teacher’s Day and Thank you so much, Tatay Phabe namin! ✨

We love you so so so muchhh!

Ikaw yung Tatay namin na nagpapadali sa buhay namin at pati na din sa mga subject na itinuro mo dahil po sayo hindi naging mahirap ang Physics at hindi kami sumuko sa course na ito.lkaw lang ang nakakaintindi saamin kapag pagod na pagod na kami~

Thank you so mucch for guiding us since 1st year until now in 4th year. Maraming aral kaming natutunan saiyo tungkol sa lesson pati na din sa buhay buhay. Kung hindi dahil sayo baka po iba na po major ko HAHHAAHHAHA. Sana hindi ka po magsawa na intindihin at turuan kami. Always take care of your self. We love you so much sir/tatay Phabe!🫶🏻❤️

Salamat po Sir Phabs sa pagtuturo not just Science, but also life itself. We are lucky to have you as our mentor and our Excelente tatay ng SAYENS. 💡👨‍🏫

Promise po sir, walo na eto hanggang dulo....and looking forward sa 2nd sem, Sir~ (hoping na sana maging prof ka na namin ulet hehe...)

Happy Teacher's Day, Sir Phabe~💡👨‍🏫💐🎉💚

Isa sa pinaka “the best” na teacher na nakilala ko. Thank you, Sir, for not only being a teacher but also a father of your students. Napakagaling. Lagi mo kaming nauunawaan. Kahit na napakabigat ng schedule namin, you always make sure na ayos lang kami, sa class mo natatanggal ‘yung pagod namin. Thank you so much, Sir! Sana ikaw lagi Physics namin eme HAHAHAHAHAHA

I hope this letter finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for your unwavering guidance and support throughout sa aming academic journey. Your influence extends far beyond the classroom, shaping not only our understanding of academic subjects but also our perspectives on life itself. You've been the constant force guiding us through the turbulent currents of academia, much like a skilled meteorologist charting the course through a complex weather system.

From the very beginning, simula no'ng 1st year palng po kami huhuu, you've been more than just a teacher and adviser ; you've been a mentor, a confidant, and a source of inspiration, that i really look up to. Your ability to impart knowledge, whether academically or in real-life situations, is truly remarkable. Like a master of fluid mechanics, you've shown us how to navigate the ebbs and flows of information, ensuring we stay afloat even in the most challenging situations. I can confidently say that the lessons I've learned from you will stay with me long into the future, acting as a potential energy that I can always rely on hehe.

What I admire most about you, Sir, is your authenticity. You don't shy away from speaking the truth, and you have a strong moral compass that guides your actions. You stand up for what's right in a practical and meaningful way, and that's something I deeply respect. You help us find our equilibrium, where we are able to know what is right and wrong.

Your teaching skills are exceptional. I remember during our most challenging times, your classroom became a haven—a place where we could find solace and clarity amidst the chaos. Like a blackbody, you radiated warmth and understanding, absorbing our anxieties and emitting knowledge in return. From our first year until now, as we approach our fourth year, your presence has been a constant source of encouragement, a constant velocity in a world of accelerating changes.

Thank you for believing in us, even when we doubted ourselves. Your trust has empowered us to take risks, push boundaries, and strive for excellence. kaya nandito po kami ngayon. We the sampu, are incredibly grateful for your unwavering support and guidance. We hope we'll make you proud po.

Sir, walang Hanggang pasasalamat po mahal ka po namin. Happy Teachers' Day po, Si Phabe! ✨💕

-Laica💜

Words can't express how much I appreciate you. You're our anchor, our safe space when things get tough. You're the one who truly understands us and stands by our side. You're more than just a teacher; you're a role model. Salamat po sa pagiging straightforward, for pointing out our flaws constructively.

From the very first vector of our 1st year to the momentum we've built in 4th year, you've consistently lightened our load. Who knew that even the most daunting concepts of physics could be made so engaging? You didn't just teach us the subject; you taught us to appreciate its elegance and even, dare we say, to love its intricate beauty. Your chika and life advice aren't just stories; they're the theories that help us solve life's problems. They're the life lessons we'll carry with us long after graduation.

And maraming salamat for all the memories, Sir Phabs. We will surely treasure them. Di namin makakalimutan yung mga yun. I hope that one day, I can be just like you – inspiring future students to embrace the beauty of physics instead of fearing it. You've set a high bar, but you've also shown us that it's possible!

Thank you for being our teacher and our life adviser. Happy Teachers' Day!

With gratitude,

Rhea

Before 1st day, marami na ako agad naririnig sa'yo from other year levels and also from relatives. Sabi nila you're very magaling daw talagaaaa, and nong na meet na kita nong first and weeks have passed by, napatunayan kong lahat ng naririnig ko ay tama. Sa'yo na ata lahat sir, I was very amazed. The way you teach sa paraang maiintindihan naming lahat and also, the way you read the map sa lessons natin sa Eath Science, napapatulala na lang talaga ako sa sobrang gulat kung papaano mo nalaman yun sir😆😆😆. I can say na, in every lesson, hindi ako nakalabas ng classroom na wala akong natutunan from you. Not because magaling ako, but because magaling ka.

SOBRANG GALING MO PO SIR PHABE!!!!📢📢📢

Thank you po for teaching and sharing your knowledge. I truly appreciated you, Sir Phabe. Wag ka pong mapapagod na sa amin sirrrr.

WE LOVE YOU, SIR PHABEEE!!!🫶🫶🫶

Happy Teacher's Day po! I wanna send my genuine and heartfelt gratitude po sainyo. Nung unang pasok ko sa CTE, pressure na pressure po ako, I'm not good as my other classmate in our block specially in terms of speaking in front. Pero nung tumungtong po kami ng summer class to second year, doon ko po kayo nakilala. Thank you po for always saying, 'You all have the potential to be teachers, basta be teachable lang' something ganyan po. Thank you for the encouragement po, not judging and appreciating our progress po. Nakaka-motivate po na igihan ko pa lalo mag aral to be an excellent science teacher. I feel less nervous na rin po sa front with your guidance, Sir Phabe. Salamat din po kasi kayo po yung reason na na-i-enjoy ko yung physics kasi dati hate ko kasi di ko ma-gets. You make complicated things simple and relatable, kudos po sainyo. And your consideration po saamin, super thank you po🙆‍♀️.

Sir Phabe, I wanna be an excellent teacher like you po. You're my role model po dito sa CTE. Aside from teaching, thank you po sa care sa aming block as an adviser. Yung birthday program po every month, since birthday ko po this September, I feel less lonely since this is the first time na hindi na po makakabati yung tatay ko ng Happy Birthday. Nalulungkot po talaga ako sa Birthday ko this 29th, pero I feel more happy to celebrate with you and my classmates po.

Life is hard, pero thank you po sa mga life lessons and mga kwentuhang pagkain (sana lagi tuwing phy2 hehe). Super love ko din po yung special message niyo po nung AGHAMATIKA, muntik na ako umiyak hehe. Awwwright! ang haba po talaga ng sasabihin ko kasi I appreciate you po so much and your efforts for us. Thank you for your guidance, care, consideration, kindness, love, and thank you for being the Tatay figure sa SAYENS fam and to the CTE fam. I wish you always the best health, peace, happiness, and we love you so much po Sir.

Again, Happy Teacher's day po, ur da best po! Enjoy your day!🎊💕🌻🙆‍♀️🫶

Enjoy your day sir, Happy Teachers Day po🤍✨

-D💚

I’m beyond grateful that you became our teacher po. You are one of the reasons why we continue to hold on and survive in Science, because you are truly our super duper favorite teacher hehe. I really love how you make things simpler kaya tumatak na rin po samin yung lagi niyong sinasabi na “gawing simple ang mga bagay-bagay, wag na natin pakomplikahin” hahahahaha

We also appreciate how you don’t just teach us about Science, but also about life, we really love how you inspire us to never give up. Since the very first day we entered CTE as Science majors, you welcomed us wholeheartedly. We truly feel the genuineness within you sir and how much you want all of us to graduate. I still remember, sir, back in first year when you reminded us that out of hundreds of applicants, we were the chosen ones to enter CTE and become Science majors and also po ipakita po namin na hindi lang namin gusto ang science dapat ipakita din po namin na gusto namin magturo ng science. That thought has been one of my anchors po and it inspires me to keep fighting and it’s one of the reasons why I’ve made it to 3rd year.

Thank you as well, Sir, for always being there to guide us, not just as our teacher, but also as an adviser in our organization. Words can’t fully express how grateful I am. No matter how far we go in life, we will definitely never forget your kindness and awesomeness, Sir hehehe. We love you, Sir and Happy Teachers’ Day po

-Althea Bocobo

Happy Teacher's Day po Sir Phabe! We love you and always take care po💗💗💗

Thank you, sir, for being lenient and allowing us to learn through sharing—hahaha kasi parang never niyo po kami sinita kahit seatwork at nagtatanungan pa kami ng sagot. We saw how passionate you are in teaching, and it’s truly an honor to be one of your students!

Thank you also for making complicated topics a bit lighter to understand—talent niyo po talaga ang pagpapasimple ng mga bagay-bagay 😂. Lastly, thank you rin po for allowing us to have our monthly birthday bash. We truly appreciate your kindness and support.

We love you, sirrrr! Sana tumagal pa po kayo dito! ❤️

Sir, korni mang isipin, pero for me, to deeply affect your students' way of thinking and their way of living is what makes a great teacher. You always tell us that we should show the utility of our lessons in Science, but your words only speak volumes because we see you walk your talk, sir. You're stern, yes. You're strict, yes. Pero, you're also compassionate, considerate, empathetic, and you go out on a limb to help others, to help me. 'Di ko talaga makakalimutan nung time na marami tayong sigalot na inayos sa amin, sir, you spent your precious time on teaching just to sit us down at ipag-ayos kami. 'Di niyo responsibility yun, sir 😭 Pero you still did, for us. I also won't forget the time na I felt my mental health crumble down for the second time around dahil nagsimula na naman po yung online classes. Pareho tayong hindi gusto yung online set-up, sir, kaya if anyone would understand me most, it would be you po. I still remember you asking me how I was that time, sir. Kahit na simpleng pangungumusta lang yun, it made me feel like I'm not alone in my head. Kaya, thank you so much, sir. Kung 'di po dahil sa'yo, hindi na siguro ako nakatuntong ng fourth year (true 'to, sir)

Sir, sa bawat travel ko po, kasama na kayo sa pasasalubungan ko, kaya kung saang parte man po ako ng mundo makarating, sir, may pasalubong ka sa akin HAHAHA

Akala ko nasabi na nilang lahat, sir, eme lang pala dami ko pa ring dada 😆 pero it all boils down to how thankful I am for you, sir 🥰🫶 I'm so proud to have you as a teacher, and when I graduate, I hope I can also make you proud, sir.

To one of my greatest teachers, Happy Teachers' Day ulit, sir!

- Mary 💚

Hi sir, Happy Teacher’s Day po. We love youuuuu!

-Noems

We will be forever thankful for your guidance and support. I'm very glad that you've been one of my college proffesor, you are truly one of the best! You are an inspiration for all of us, your efforts when it comes to teaching are unmatched and each class with you is another journey. Lastly, thank you po, sir for letting us rest during your subjects or giving us less loads everytime na nag r-rant kami na pagod kami from puyat and stuffs. You are truly our pahinga! We love you, Sir! 🩷
