Sooooobrang dami nating photos together but this must be my favorite. :) 14 years of friendship and counting. I am always grateful for you.

For listening to my biglaang iyak sa tabi ng pedestal cabinet, hahahaha, to coffee dates because kailangan ko ng kausap. Thank you for putting up with all of my kaartehan.

You are one of my closest friends, isa sa mga ride-or-die ko. To the point na nasa emergency contact natin ang isa't isa. Hahaha.

Marami pa ako gustong sabihin pero para sa ikasasalba ng reputasyon natin, PM ko na lang. Hahaha.

Vlad & I appreciate you so much and we will always be here for you!

I am very confident that China will never be a hindrance to our friendship. You are in my prayers, as always. Love you, Ry! ❤️

-Your bestest friend, Charlene

One thing I’ll always remember about Mr. Ryan is that every time he speaks, he never fails to share a laugh.😊

Mr. Ryan, thank you po for leading us with dedication, wisdom, and grace! As you go on this new journey to China, may God bless you abundantly and guide your every step.

‘The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.’ — Deuteronomy 31:8

You will always be remembered and lifted in prayer. Safe travels and may God’s favor be upon you always. See you soon po!☺️

One thing I will never forget about Mr. Ryan Valdez is his genuinely open-hearted and approachable nature.

He consistently welcomed us with open arms and was always willing to extend a helping hand. I especially appreciated his support when we requested an interview for my graduate studies, he didn’t hesitate to say yes and made time for us despite his busy schedule. His kindness, humility, and leadership left a lasting impression on us. We learned so much from him, not only in his role as a principal but also as a person who leads with compassion and integrity. Thank you and God bless in your journey! -Chiara

Not the end, just a new beginning. ✈️

Hello Mr. Ryan!

Thank you for being such a kind and great leader to all of us here at VCIS. When I was still with the Comms team, I will always remember how you would drop by the reception area, have small talks with us, and sometimes even bring snacks. Those little interactions meant a lot to us and showed how much you genuinely care and love the team. I pray that God will always protect you wherever you are in the world. 🙏🌍Thank you, and may God bless you more and more in this next season of your life! ✨🌟 - Ms. Grace

Pwede na tawaging Kuya Ryan!

Mr. Ryan,

I still remember the day you interviewed me when I was still an applicant. Parang kahapon lang! HAHAHA. Remember you asked me how I envision myself in the next 5 years? Wow, those visions are slowly turning into reality because of your leadership.

I praise God for your life and I appreciate the trust and confidence you have in me. With all the challenging situations, failures, and opportunities, you were there to help me process it. Even in silence, your guidance is deeply felt.

With no delay, you were there when I have question or clarification. Listening is one of your greatest strengths. Hindi mahirap mag open - to the point na natawag kitang kuya sa sobrang kumportable. HAHAHA!

Your unsolicited pieces of advice are surprising yet a welcome one! These are the moments na nasasabi ko sa sarili kong marami pa akong kakaining bigas pagdating sa leadership. HAHAHAHA!

Dami pa pwede sabihin, pero overall 5 star! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐! May the Lord protect you always. Huwag sana madelay ang flight mo sa Shenzen Sorting Center. HAHAHAH!

Super excited as to how the Lord will use you!

Maraming Salamat, kuya Ryan!

-RJ

Good morning Mr. Ryan.

I would just like to say thank you for leading VCIS. Thank you rin po for your support when we had events, lalo na po sa RockO and needed namin ng budget hehe. I appreciate also your patience and understanding given as I continue to grow and improve here in VCIS. Thank you rin po sa prayer way back December 2023 hehe. Take care Sir and praying for your safety and your new journey God bless!

Hello, Mr. Ryan.

2025-07-18 05:48:58 UTC

It was not long, but your warmth will stay with us (new hires). I pray that the Lord will show His face to you as you go on to your new journey with Him. It's always so inspiring to see christians who follow God's leading. So, be blessed and be assured that He will never fail you and He will keep His promise to you. May you bring your warmth to your new home.

See you again, Mr. Ryan!

This is my first-ever photo with Mr. Ryan, taken during the VCIS Online Dedication. Thank you po, Mr. Ryan for your gentle approach especially during my toughest time na nawala ang father ko. I will always remember you as the “chill but excellent” person/school principal of VCIS. Malungkot man po para sa amin na ndi na kayo makakasama this coming SY pero, I believe that we are always with you in heart and in prayers.

Saan man kayo dalhin ng Panginoon, alam ko pong pagpapalain nya kayo at kayo po ay magiging pagpapala sa iba. ‘Til we see you again here in PH!

Salamat po sa inyong leadership 🥰🫡

With love,

Ms. Jigs

Thank you for your heart to serve and lead VCIS with integrity, humility, and care. We have truly been blessed to work under a leader who not only values excellence, but also deeply values people.

While your departure brings sadness, we take comfort in knowing that the Lord is ordering your steps. We believe that this new chapter in China is part of His greater plan for you and those whose lives you will touch through your ministry. May He continue to guide, protect, and empower you as you walk in obedience to His call.

On a personal note, thank you for extending grace and understanding during a difficult season in my life. Thank you for reminding me of God’s faithfulness, even if the verdict was a challenge to accept. Thank you for praying for me. I will always be grateful for your support, and for the encouragement both you and Ms. Charlene gave me last year.

Goodbye for now, Sir. May the Lord bless you in your future endeavors!

Fei shang, gao shing… joke lang po, huhu 😭

With gratitude and prayer,

Ms. Jem
