alam mo ate jhel, throughout my 19 years of living, ikaw talaga yung isa sa pinaka-special na taong nakilala ko. search-in is very lucky to have an Ate like you. you are always willing to say YES to each one of us, and in return, we are also willing to say YES to you. i know how often i say this, but you really deserve all the love in the world. yung genuine at never kang bibiguin.

i will continue living for you, my dearest ate jhel. if ever i fail to do so, lagi mong tatandaan na sobrang laki ng tulong na ibinigay mo sakin, and i'm always thankful for that whenever and wherever i go.

lagi kaming nandito para sayo, ate. mahal na mahal ka namin. search-in's doors will always be open for you!

never give up on life's challenges, and promise na kahit ano man mangyari, you will stay strong, okayy?

from yours truly,

meg c

Kala ko fake ka lang e... sabi mo nung trese, "Last ko na 'to" habang nagpreprepare ng regalo na parang card tapos may mga pictures ng mga circles. Akala ko tuloy magyeyes talk ka nung trese. Tapos, biglaan lang, naging core na kami... Tapos isa ka sa CORE2 CPs. Ate, I believe you know this feeling all too well, yung feeling ng pagiging sobrang thankful sa search-in, pero thank you na isa ka sa mga tao na naglabas ng "Yes" namin. NAKAKAINIS NAMAN 2:47 AM NAIYAK AKO!!! Grabe ka kasi mag mahal sa search-in e, binibigay mo talaga buong-buo. Lahat-lahat. I can only wish and pray and hope na kahit in the smallest way, I grow up to be like you... yuyuyuyu👉👉 (ok! serious na) Nung 1st day palang nung formation, actually, days, weeks before ng formation. Well, to be honest the moment na pinasok kami ni miss sa CORE GC, nagka-doubts na ako pero kasi deep inside, may nagsasabi na wag ko pakakawalan yung opportunity na maging katulad mo ate. Na maging isang napaka laking yakap. takot ako kasi even though gustong-gusto ko mag CORE, baka di ko magawa ng maayos... baka madisappoint ko lang kayo.

So tinanong niyo yung why namin. Isa isa. at yung sabi ko, "Kasi gusto ko mapa-yes yung mga bata, gusto ko maramdaman nila yung pinaramdam niyo samin, mabigay yung pamilya na meron kami ngayon." Pero gusto ko rin sana sabihin noon, "Kasi gustong-gusto ko po maging katulad ni ate jhelean na nagsabit sakin ng pendant." pero kasi baka isipin mo binobola kita e grrrrr

Pero ayun na nga! Di ako nagsisisi kasi I love you so much ate. Kahit anong mangyari nandiyan ka. Kaya ang sakit at ang lungkot na aalis ka na. Yung honest reaction ko nung nalaman ko na last retreat mo na talaga kinse, like totoo na, ginusto ko lang umiyak at magmakaawa na "wag. wag ka aalis please. please wag mo kami iwan." Pero di e, naiintindihan ko ren naman.

Isa ka rin sa mga taong nagligtas sakin ate. Kasi nung umagang 'yon, sukong suko na talaga ako. Handa na akong magpaalam sa pamilya ko, sa mga kaibigan ko, sa search-in, kasi ang sakit sakit na talaga. Hindi ko na maalala yung "Yes to life," Hindi ko na maalala yung mga pangako o reassurance na nandyan lang kayo para sakin. Pero nung umaga na yun, niligtas niyo ako. Si marwin, si tatay gabo at ikaw ate.

Hinding hindi ko mapaliwanag kung gaano ko inaasam yung yakap mo noon. yung yakap mo ngayon. Hindi ko ren masabi o mapakita kung gaano yun kaimportante sakin kasi kung wala kayo noon, wala ako ngayon.

Kahit san ka pa mapadpad ate, nandito lang kami. May pamilya kang mauuwian kapag pagod ka na, o 'di mo na kaya.

Kaya sana di kita iniwasan noon. Sana nilapitan nalang kita at tinanong pangalan mo para di ko pinagsisihan yung oras na nawala.

I love you not because you're ate jhelean the makulit, the sponsor ng grocery, the laging nandiyan. I love you in spite of the fact na you're ate jhelean na deep inside pagod, na gustong magpahinga o magpakalayo, ate jhelean na last retreat na ang kinse, ate jhelean na parang yung pelican dun sa story na sinasacrifice yung sarili paulit-ulit para sa amin.

I love you ate. I will treasure your 100 forever. You will always be carved in my heart.

p.s. sabi short message pero aq kc batas muahahah

ate jhel, you have become my role model to do better and face all the hardships in life -- you inspired me. throughout my 18 years of existence in life, you made me feel about what it feels like to have a caring ate that loves unconditionally.

you are the best gift in my life. i am so grateful that you have become part of my life. my life became better on the day that i met you. you have a special place in my heart! an ate like you must respect and love sooooo much.

as i witnessed your yes talk in c14, the only thing that came into my mind was, "ate jhel's love was so pure and you are so strong.".

now the day has come that you have to take a break, always remember ate that we, the people in search in say YES TO LIFE and say YES TO YOU. words cannot express how grateful and happy i am for you.

we will never close our doors and paths for you, ate. i would do anything just to be with you, please do not leave us.

yes to you always and in all ways. i love you not because of, but in spite of.

love,

penn

-drich pogi

Hi ate jhelean, I have already said this to you before, but you have really helped me a lot ever since I became part of this family. You ultimately give the best comfort than an "ate" could ever give. From not knowing your age during onse, to becoming one of the most memorable facis we had, to you becoming my comfort person when I became a faci during Trese, and finally to you, ate jhelean, becoming the YES talk in the circle that I was a CP of.

Thank you very much, ate jhelean. I am still and always be hoping for more YESes with you in the future!! ily ate jhelean!!!

you inspired me to be the best version of myself lalong lalo na core member na po ako. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY ROLE MODEL, ATE JHE :((

gusto ko man malungkot nang sobra kasi wala ka na sa C16 pero i know naman po na you have your reasons and i completely understand po :)) alam mo ate jhe, i am very proud of you and i am very excited for your new journey and sa lahat ng bagay na ma-aachieve mo! please don't feel bad po na hindi mo kami makakasama sa C16 hehe magpprint na lang po kami ni aiden ng napakalaking pic mo tas papalitan namin pic ni la salle sa hq bwhahah eme

pero kidding aside, i hope you'll continue chasing your dreams ate! i hope you'll continue to say YES sa sarili mo at sa oras na sa tingin mo hindi mo deserve, kasi hinding hindi po kami mapapagod mag YES sayo at mahalin ka :)

thank you for constantly saying yes to us, ate jhe! pero for now, sarili mo naman po :) we will always be here to support you ate! while you're taking your time for yourself, i promise that we will do our best to gather multiple YESes and love them wholeheartedly as much as you always do saamin!

i love you not because of, but in spite of.

Jhelean Galeon

URGHH ANUBA. ILY. MWA. from the beginning of my journey until the today. mula una hanggang ngayon. ikaw parin ang laman at number 1 pang singko kong puso. Ate jhelean, thank you, for being you, for being jhelean na mahal kami at mahal din namin. at this point, alam kong, naiiyak/natatawa ka. hayss sino ba naman ako. alam ko namang tatawanan mo lahat ng biro ko eh. kaya mahal kita ehh. ako lang naman toh. bastaa ate jhel. alam mo, na mahal na mahal kita...... wala parin song....... kunin ko speaker..... humuhuni ang iboon.... charot! I love you from the bottom of my feet up to the head back to the shoulder knees and toes.

-Marwin the basta kay ate jhel na inumin, inom agad

Ate Jhe, to be completely honest, I love you very much talaga. Before Katorse, before Quince, you were and will always be the torch that lights up my dim world. Actually, I never expected na matatanggap pa ako sa Core kasi nga, late na akong nagpasa, eh. Pero what made me still push through and submit my application is you. Iniisip ko, "Ang galing talaga ni Ate Jhelean. I wish I can be as good as her and be admired and appreciated in this community one day."

Lumaban ako kahit na noong panahong iyon, sa totoo lang, I was not okay. Hindi na ako makapag-YES sa sarili ko noon at unti-unti na namang dumidilim ang mundo ko. But the light that you and Kuya Pao and Miss CJ and my CPs and the whole of Trondo... you all shined and lit up every corner. Ate Jhe, words cannot describe how much you mean to me kahit na hindi tayo masyadong nagkikita o nagkakausap pero sa mga panahong nakakapag-usap tayo at nakakapag-bonding, magaan ang pakiramdam ko. I feel so relieved and happy kasi si Ate Jhelean na 'yan, eh.

I remember what you told me noong formation namin. Tinanggap mo pa rin ang application ko kahit late na akong nakapagpasa. When I heard that, I realized that I have so much love to give and receive from this community and you are my reflection of that. With that, I was finally able to say YES to myself again.

ALAM MO BA ATE... yesterday, while I was reflecting, naisip ko ang Katorse and Quince. I love those kids a lot. Ganoon din kaya ang naramdaman mo sa amin noong Onse? IH ANO BA YAN NAIIYAK AKO STOP THE CAR ?!

Now, I am on that loop na naman but now, I know that our growing family will be there to keep the lamp burning for me when I cannot do it myself.

I hope that I am also one of the people that makes you think that way, Ate. (grabe ang demanding eme HAHAOUISGFS)

I love you more than I ever thought I could. I am forever undone with you, Ate Jhe. Mahal na mahal na mahal kita at lagi mong tatandaan 'yan. (kinain ko kamo yung pancit canton kanina before ako magsulat neto tas naiyak pako ngayon oisaeafs ANG IYAKIN KO TALAGA KAPAG KAYO PINAG-UUSAPAN EH)

I love you not because of, but in spite of. I will keep on admiring and appreciating you because you are my one and only Ate Jhe. I am grateful that I found Search-In and its magic. The stars have aligned and I chose to align my star with you.

Palaging Nagmamahal,

Novy

-miaheheheheheh

i love you, ate! i will never get tired of saying yes to you.

-ken

first time q sasabihin sa'yo this ate hmp sana kiligin ka (but i assure u these all came from my heart). ur love was actually very new to me, it's unique at its most beautiful way. nakakatawa nga ate nung gusto ko na mag-no to everyone, i was left unanswered kung bakit ikaw yung tinuturo ng heart ko na lapitan, and ang ironic na u were the yes talk pa. i couldn't, and still can't, promise you ate na i will always have the heart to say yes. pero know that u were, and will always be a big part of my fruitful yes-es. i have never seen a love that's so honest, nung times na i felt like i lost everything and was wondering if ako lang ba yung ganto. u did not just made me feel na i am never alone, pero naparamdam mo rin sa'kin ate na feeling that way doesn't make me less of a person.

you have told me na i could rest all the time, and kahit gaano pa katagal, meron at meron pa rin akong babalikan; kayo. i hope na u will always have the heart to tell urself the same things u have told sa'min,,, we will always be here, and taking a time off from things we are used to do will never make you less of a person. i love you my ate jhelean.

You radiate such a warm and inviting energy, like a ray of sunshine that brightens every room you enter. Your gentle presence has a calming effect, creating a safe space where one feels seen, heard, and understood. While I may not have the privilege of knowing you as intimately as others, I'm deeply drawn to your warmth and kindness.

Ate Cin, I cherish the moments we've shared, and I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to deepen our connection. Your unwavering support and understanding mean the world to me. I know that life can be challenging at times, but I want you to know that you're never alone. We’ll always be here for you, ready to offer a listening ear and a shoulder to lean on.

Thank you for being my Ate Cin, a beacon of light and love in my life. I cherish your presence more than words can express. I love you always, in all ways. 🫂💛

Love,

Alex
