I am so proud of your brave decision to leave work and focus on reviewing for the Bar exams. It shows how serious and determined you are to reach your goal.

Well, I  believe in you! Give it your best, stay focused, and aim high. You have what it takes to succeed and even be a topnotcher!

I will surely  miss you, but I’m excited to call you Attorney soon. All the best…

Thank you so much for being a humble and kind leader. Bisan Chief ka, you never made us feel small. We really appreciate how you speak with respect, how you guide us in a way that encourages, not intimidates, and how you always show appreciation for the little things we do.

Salamat kaayo for being approachable bisan super busy ka. You still make time to share your inputs, and you never get mad when we follow up. You really lead with both heart and wisdom.

Good luck sa imong bar exam, Kuya! We’re all praying for your success and excited to see what amazing things the future has in store for you. You truly deserve it all.

With much respect and gratitude,
Sharmien B. Bulasa (free sa notaryo) 🤣

It's hard to put into words how much your leadership, friendship, and mentorship have meant to me. Working with you has been an incredible privilege, and I've learned so much, both professionally and personally. Thank you so much for taking the time to catch up with me while I was in Sydney. I really appreciate it.

While it's bittersweet to see you go, I'm also truly excited for you as you take this bold step toward your dream. Wishing you all the best as you prepare for the Bar Exam and become a Topnotcher!

I'll always be cheering for you! You da best!

See you around, partner!

Huhu, I will definitely miss seeing you on a regular. Please know that I have your back, especially when you are not looking.

I pray that you will be blessed as much, or even more, as you blessed me with your life.

May all your aspirations come true. I am rooting for you!

Please be happy and healthy.

P.S. I dunno if you remember, but the attached note was from you to me way back 2020 (retrieved from my Under Armour notebook, LOL!). I guess it is time to give it back. Labyu.

How’s it going? :)

It’s sad to hear that you’re leaving, but at the same time, I’m glad you’re taking a leap forward.

You’re one of the warmest people in the office. Every “Kumusta?” and every little recognition of a task done meant a lot to me, Kuya. Thank you for being so generous with your kind words.

Good luck and God bless you on your journey moving forward, Kuya Jie!

You’re the best “mate” ever!

As you move on to chase your dream of becoming a lawyer, I just want to say how proud I am of you. It’s not every day that someone has the courage to step away from the familiar and commit fully to their passion — but you’re doing exactly that, and it’s inspiring.

There’s not a doubt in my mind that we’ll be calling you Attorney Crisante in the near future. You've got the drive, the discipline, and the heart to make it happen — and I know you will. This isn’t just a hope — it’s a belief. You were made for this path.

Thank you for all the memories, the chikahan, kwentuhan and tawanan, kuya J. It’s been a genuine pleasure working with you, and while your presence will definitely be missed, we’re all rooting for you every step of the way. Go chase that dream and make it real — because it’s yours for the taking.

And of course — thank you in advance for the generous discount on legal fees when you’re a hotshot lawyer. 😊

Wishing you nothing but success,

We hereby file a motion to reconsider your decision to leave us, but after careful cost-benefit analysis, we concede that chasing ambulances (we mean, justice) is a better ROI than tolerating our office shenanigans.

While we’re sad to lose a key economic asset, we recognize that your marginal utility in law will far exceed your current role as our resident coffee monopolist. Just remember:

• Opportunity Cost: Trading our hilarious meetings for stare decisis debates. (Worth it?)

• Tort Reform: If law school doesn’t work out, you can always sue us for emotional distress caused by this goodbye.

• Binding Precedent: Once you pass the Bar, you’re legally obligated to give us pro bono advice (read: free legal cover for our nonsense).

We sustain our confidence in you—knock that Bar exam out like a hostile witness on cross! Until then, we rest our case (and your leftover office snacks).

Verdict: You’ll be disbarred from our chaos, but we’ll appeal for visits. Go slay those Bar questions—no objections here!

Thank you so much for the time you spent with us in the division - your calming and refreshing presence surely made a difference.

Wishing you all the best as you move forward in your career as an attorney. Hope you enjoy the good life and everything that comes with it!

Please allow me to say my well wishes through a poem I've written for you:

The sky whispers to the ground

All its secrets through the rain

The mountains write their sound

Traced on crevices that sustain the grain

You bear the wisdom of the sun

But also the burden of the clouds

A raging storm has just begun

That will silence even a crowd

But when it's all done

I pray you see the sun

As a river flowing with grace

And when life turns brackish, brace!

As you flow through deep, twisted roots

And a ground pulling down your boots

Move forward without fear

You're very near

Become the ocean

Where life knows no bounds

Rooting for your happiness and success, Kuya Jie. ❤️

In Omnibus, amare et servire Domino.

We'll definitely miss your calm presence and cheerful words in the day-to-day grind.

Wishing you all the best on your next journey. See you around, future Atty!

I thank God because you were my first mentor here in DEPDev Caraga. You are a genuine soul, warm, gentle, and appreciates even the smallest efforts of your staff. The most important lesson or challenge you imparted to me was the 90-day challenge, that was when I was struggling to cope with the workloads and in the verge of breaking point. You are not just a colleague to me, but a "GOOD" friend!

Heel erg bedankt en gefeliciteerd Atty. Gemiano B. Crisante Jr!

God zegene je nog meer!

Like everyone else, thank you for being a good kuya and a truly appreciative leader. Whether our efforts are simple or difficult, you always acknowledge them just the same. We still get a 'Good job' or a 'Well done,' and that really makes us feel appreciated and valued. Thank you for that.

We will definetly miss your warm smiles and encouragements kuya.

Wishing you all the best kuya and keep being a kind and inspiring person to everyone around you. May God bless all your desires future Atty!

Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will succeed.

Sir Junjie,

I'll always remember your warmth and how you'd greet me with a cheerful “Hi Sophie, kamusta?” inig magsugat ta. Thank you kaayo for being approachable sir maskin super busy ka magpaperma jud kog mga DVs hahahaha. As you commit this new chapter to the Lord, we pray that your path is blessed and your plans succeed. All the best, Sir! We’re all excited of what lies ahead of you 🤍 and congratulations in advance — Atty. Junjie!

Even though we haven't known each other for long, your encouraging words, support, and warm personality made me feel valued and appreciated . Thank you for the almost 2 months sirrrr~ ‎ ‎Wishing you all the very best in your future adventures, Sir! See you around! 😊😊

Looking forward sa 50% off notaryo sa land title.

Wishing you all the best as you head off to new adventures! Thank you for all the warm smiles, cheerful greetings, and those encouraging “Well done!” and “Good job!” moments — they always made my day brighter. Go shine out there like you always do! 🌟 God bless you always!😊

Wishing you all the best as you take on the bar exams and everything that comes next. You’ve got what it takes, and I know you’ll do incredibly well. Pretty sure we’ll still cross paths at coffee shops, so this isn’t really goodbye.

Good luck, and go smash it!
