Ma'am nanghalungkat ako ng pics during f2f and ito lang yung nahanap ko.

You've been with us since 1st year po na medyo wala pa kami alam sa IS nun. Sad na our time in an f2f setting was cut short po :( Nevertheless, thank you for all the patience and understanding. Kahit gina-anxiety kami always kay pakalit-kalit ka lang po magpa-quiz, we still had a good run with you.

Thank you din po for being such a great mentor in our thesis! Di talaga kami nagkamali when we said we wanted you to be our mentor. All your comments and corrections helped us. Thank you for always hearing our concerns during that time kay sige na mi og mental breakdown nila Gerd, Kara, and Jannah. Even if labas na yun sa thesis, you still heard us out and gave us advice.

Bye ma'am! I hope our paths cross again <333333

Thank you Ma'am!! :--(

It was a great four years, charot dramatic but true.

Writing this note to thank you for giving us the best learning experience. Personally, each year na magmove on ako sa IS I always had a level of doubt if I should continue on pero knowing na we have you as our prof is a big blessing talaga. You motivated us to do well, encouraged us to laban lang, and challenged us with your new and surprising tactics every school year. Even though prof ka na namin since 1st year you never failed to surprise us with assessments, projects, and reportings charot hahaha. but in all honestly, you really are a great impact in our IS life and to our thesis!

We literally couldn't have survived four years without you and your patience and understanding sa aming kasabawan sometimes, it was and is an honor to be your student. Wag mo kami kalimutan ma'am ha and mageat out tayo maam please <3 we love you so much, please continue to be an inspiration for future IS students hehe

See you soon maam! <3

Ma'am thank you for everything you've done for my classmates and I! You have been with us since first year until now na mag graduate na kami. You helped us understand more about IS, and motivated us a lot during the 4 years we were in IS. Thank you for being understanding and hearing out our concerns. Kahit hindi IS topic ang concern you still took the time to give us advice.

Most of all, you really kept us in our toes. Every sem when we think alam na namin ang style mo maam, naga level up ka talaga! Magulat nalang kami kasi mas naging challenging na ang assessments and SAs. I'm not sure it it was really your intention, but I appreciate that through that, we were not complacent at all.

Thank you ma'am for being a super supportive thesis adviser. Kahit sabog na yung paper namin, you always understood what we wanted to convey and guided us in writing it. Even though online yung thesis journey namin, we never once felt like you were distant. On the contrary, we felt even more connected with you po because of how responsive you were and how you always made constructive criticisms on our output. You really are the best thesis mentor we can ask for.

Thank you for everything that you have done both in and outside your capacity as our professor, thesis mentor, and AISSO adviser. Our IS college experience wouldn't be complete without you ma'am, and I hope na there are more chances for us to meet in the future.

GLO-ING UP TOGETHER

Hello ma'am, I wish we had more photos together as a class but I only found this in my backup photo drive. Surprisingly, this photo has survived after deleting most of my files from 2019.

I still remember how we would consider you as our safe space after having our major classes from Sir Scooby way back in first year. You were one of the professors that allowed us to be in our "beginner phase" while at the same time challenging us to become better in our studies day by day. Entering the course, I always felt like I was not enough because I was not equipped with enough knowledge about International Relations. Along with the overwhelming information from the other subjects, I would like to thank you ma'am for making things digestible for us.

Way back in 2019, I also felt that you were nervous in front of us ma'am and that you were still not comfortable with the ways of teaching. But comparing things now, we can see that you are really one of the admirable professors that we look up to because you can summarize a huge chunk of information that can be easily understood. With that, I can see ma'am that we as a class and you as a professor have grown in a lot of aspects together (the glo up tho). We thank you ma'am for making International Studies a challenging yet fun course despite its overall serious tone. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors and we cannot thank you enough for inspiring us to finish our four years journey of college life <3

From Global History to Webinar & Diplomatic Practice & Protocols, every session was worth it.

Hi Ma'am, Assalamualaikum! Words can't express how thankful I am ma'am to have you as one of our professors in the program.

Cheesy and cliché as it may sound but you are one of the factors that made me stay in IS as you just don't point our weaknesses but encourage us to focus on our strengths as well.

Maybe ma'am the way you put time and effort in checking our essays and assessments made me realize that you really cared for the learnings we acquired. I am more than grateful to personally say that I have improved in my writing skills because of you.

I really put into mind what you commented in every summative assessment I passed and from that ma'am I witnessed the trajectory of my development with the commendations and remarks you are giving.

I may not be one of the best students you ever have ma'am but be rest assured that I always did my best when I was in your class up until this virtual set-up.

This may be the end for the class and with you ma'am but the memories would serve as our treasure to cherish onto the next road.

Thank you, Ma'am Mahinay!!

Hello, Ma'am! Thank you for being one of the best IS professors. Ever since we were first years, you have shared your knowledge and skills with us. Kahit maingay kami masyado (dati :p) you were still willing to show up for us. Thank you, Ma'am, for your patience and your perseverance. Over the years, we saw how much heart you put into teaching, and it shows jud, Ma'am, especially with the way you deliver your lectures. You were one of the first professors we had, and we can all say na you did make scholarly articles digestible for us.

Looking back, we would observe how you were hesitant and nervous at teaching during Global History. But as years go by, you have become confident in your own teaching style— something that we would miss after graduation. I think ma'am kaya siya sentimental kasi *essentially* grew up together in IS, with you as a professor and with our batch as IS students.

We appreciate that you challenge us to become better IS students, even though kabagsakon nami ron (wag lung ma'am pls love u). Since 2nd year up to this sem, you never fail to surprise us. Char. HAHAHA.

I hope that as our batch leaves the department this year, you will be at peace, Ma'am, with the fact that you have imparted us valuable knowledge over the past four years of our stay in IS. Indeed, our college experience wouldn't be complete without you. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors and I hope our paths will cross again in the future.

See you soon, Ma'am!
