As the unspoken tradition of every graduating batch of BRC, we knew we needed to give justice to whatever we were going to come up with that we would soon call our batch song. With that, the song committee was firm in its decision to seek the expertise of someone who was experienced and passionate in the field of music as well as the production of such, which then led us to you.

Admittedly—as much I wanted to show my commitment physically—I wasn’t present in all meetings due to other equally important obligations I had on my plate. Despite this, we had such skilled and passionate committee members that truly poured their creativity and soul all the way until the song’s completion. All this would not have been possible if not for your guidance, sir.

I’m sure you’ve had your fair share of frustrations with us, and for that we sincerely apologize. We admire and appreciate the time and effort put into helping us write, rewrite, produce, and perform the “Alas Singko.” Thank you so much for everything, Sir Andre! You did more than asked of a supervisor.

We hope you continue to be passionate in your music! We are looking forward to hearing more of it. 🪷

While I wasn't able to contribute to how the chords in the song were written, I would like to thank you so so much for being one of my inspirations to also pursue music more seriously. Since that moment, I've found myself learning new things--scales, progressions, chords, and more---while also becoming deeply intrigued by the process of recording and making music.

Thank you again for this wonderful opportunity and for the impact that you've had on me. Your positivity has ignited in me newfound passion for music<3

Even I felt a bit teary-eyed and emotional despite the laughs we've had while singing the song during the graduation ceremony, hehe, especially during the chorus which meant that no form of magic can stop the time, as the remaining 5' oclocks we have inside the campus will eventually have its countdown to 0.

Will miss you sir, even though we did not interact that much around the campus. I hope you enjoy your time there in Pisay as a teacher!

Recording a bass line was also a completely new experience for me, and honestly, it felt both nerve-wracking and exciting. But with your guidance, it became something I’m really proud of. Though we didn’t get to interact that much throughout the process, this experience has become really meaningful to me. It was my first time recording bass for an original composition, and I am honored that I got to do it under your mentorship. Thank you for being part of this milestone as I will always carry it with me.

Kaya thank you po talaga for being involved saamin even if you didn't really know our batch a whole lot. I wish you could have taught our batch because you seem such a fun and awesome teacher po. I hope you enjoy your time teaching here in Pisay!

When I first got the chance to attend one of the meetings, it was during the time that the committee was trying to piece together the lyrics but was having difficulty in doing so. That time, medyo under pressure na rin po since halos isang month na lang din before graduation, if I remember correctly. But throughout the meeting, I was really in awe of how you guided each one of us in trying to get our ideas out kahit most po ay nahihiya pa that time. I saw how you effectively encouraged my batchmates and got to make them feel that whatever idea they had was heard, all the while giving constructive insights to each of them. I couldn’t help but admire how you guided us with such patience.

We’re really grateful for your time as well po, Sir, as minsan inaabot na rin po beyond curfew huhu. I can’t imagine how differently the committee would’ve done this all without you po. You made the sessions enjoyable, and Ylirhaya will always remember Alas Singko 🥹 Thank you so so muchh po, Sirr! I wish you well po 💗
