Bon voyage and safe travels, Doc Jess!!🥹✈️ Our favorite Anaphy (or prof in general tbh) prof ever! Thank you so much for making our Anaphy Lab experience one for the books—from the countless kwentos about your med journey that truly inspired most (if not all) of us to keep going and pursue medicine, to the much-needed real talks about how hard, exhausting, and ethically challenging this path is... but also how fulfilling and worth it it can be. 🩺

You really are one of a kind—huhu one more year po pls eme😭 BDHXDJDN. Send choreo nalang po for next Biochem Week + pagbalik niyo kami na ni [insert name] eme sirr!!

But on a more serious note, we wish you nothing but the best on this next chapter outside the country. May you be surrounded by good people, fulfilling work, and experiences as meaningful (or even more) than the ones you’ve had here. Know that you’ve left such a huge impact on us, Doc—and no matter where you go, we’ll always be rooting for you!! Umiiyak real real 😭💖

Love you, Doc Jess! Don’t forget us pls and ingat always pooo! 🌍💫

love,

Thank you for believing in us first years. Thank you because you always wanted to include us and never doubted our skills. For the short time we were together I learned alot of things that may not reflect on my score (LOL) but would last me a long time. Thank you for being one of our inspirations and for making our first year worthwhile. No goooodbyes because we hope to see u soon!!

I hope your journey of improving and

becoming the best person that I've met. You've got the funniest humor HAHAHA. Anyways thank you po doc and I am glad that I met you this year, hope we will meet soon when an opportunity comes! 🖤

u da best of the best po talaga doc! thx for being my (and probably everyone’s) comfort zone. No joke po pero ang comforting ng boses mo whenever you teach. Kahit may times na feeling ko ambobo (sorry for the word) ko sa subject na to, never have I felt judged by you, but instead, you were always there to support and correct with kindness—not something every professor can do.

ihhhh it’s super hard to let you go doc (luh) kaya one more year na pls HAHAH emz. I wish you the best in your future endeavors and I pray that you may be surrounded by people who will support you and love you as much as we do🫶

labyu u doc! See you when I see you! pls don’t forget us and me (hihi demanding no? manifesting hangour w u bago ka umalis😔) cuz for sure, you’ll never be forgotten by us (sayang sa mga bagong first years, di nila makikilala ang pinakamatalino at pinakamasarap na prof ng biochemistry department)

Kidding aside, Bon Voyage Doc!🤍🫶

(P.S. wag na po kayo magugulat pag bigla ka po makakatanggap ng message abt anachem or abt any subj in the future…hihi)

Thank you Doc for being our professor for this class, its been fun (and stressful, but informative)!!!

I wouldn't have gained the skills and knowledge if it weren't for you, Doc! i am so so so thankful po! thank you po for being the BEST (best?!?!) prof in da world! (real) 😻

Safe travels po! Balik ka po tapos mag gala tayo ulit with us. 💛

The dynasty wishes you a good life, safe flight, and your desired afam.

Jokes aside, thank you for being an awesome professor. It kind of felt like you were just an older sibling that taught anaphy to your younger siblings. Thank you for being a patient professor to the whole class. You made this course much more bearable, making the classes fun and interactive. You’re really cool and I hope to be just like you when I grow up.

It’s a shame that we only got to have you as our professor for just one sem and I wish I could’ve been your student more than just in my first year. Hopefully, you get to enjoy greener pastures overseas, don’t get homesick too quickly. 😁

If and when you ever decide to come back to the Philippines, we’ll be here to greet you as your proud students and as successful Biochemists. 💚

I feel like cut short time naten Doc, ang ganda talaga ng class mo doc, kahit tambak lahat na, nakakahinga kami sa klase niyo, kahit wala kaming tulog nagigising kami dahil sa presence niyo

Doc, masaya talaga, sana talaga I rethink niyo un paglipat niyo, pero o well, goodluck to you and your future endeavors. We hope for your success as much as you, and we hope you won't forget about us and think of us fondly.

Bye Doc, we'll miss you!

Doc Jes, Farewell ba talaga to?

Sana hindi talaga

to be able to experience life with you, no doubt you'll thrive din po abroad 💓💓

goodluck so much doc, safe skies 🛫!

(first meeting ng BCM625 natandaan na po kita kasi may kamukha ka pong content creator, akala ko ikaw 'yun!!!!)

/umiyaq oa wala pa nga HAYS u weren’t js our anaphy prof, u were a constant source of inspiration nd light for the entire 1BBC. i genuinely enjoyed this course, nd i always looked forward to every class session we had. u made even the most complex topics feel exciting, nd ur humor, kind nd fun presence made learning anaphy so much fun nd easier !

watching u pursue ur dream of medicine in the US reminded me why i wanted to become a doctor, too. because of u, that dream feels real again. i want to be the kind of doctor you are — brilliant, humble, nd full of heart 🫶

I WILL MISS YOU SO MUCH DOC HUHUHU our remaining school year as biochemists wouldn’t be the same without you 😢🥀

I truly had a memorable time with you, sir, even if it was just for 3–4 months. kaya sir, one more year please eme! I’ll always treasure the memories we’ve made, lalo na yung mga sponty gala after school. sir, pano na ang samgyup kung wala ka? huhu.

anyway, I wish you all the best, sir. I hope you continue to be happy and successful in everything you pursue. I know you’ll do great, because you’re one of the best profs I’ve ever known. doc, balik ka po next time, wala po kaming taga choreo for pharma week HAHAHA. continue to dance your heart out, sir! I’m so glad I got to know you. ❤️
