“Hello po, Magandang Araw! It still feels so unreal that I’ve finally graduated. After everything I went through—the sleepless nights, the stress, the moments I almost gave up—I made it. It’s overwhelming in the best way. I’m beyond thankful to everyone who stood by me, especially the EEMF who supported me all the way. Your help meant so much to me. This achievement isn’t just mine, it’s also yours and for everyone who believed in me. My heart is full, and I’m just truly, deeply grateful.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for the unwavering support you’ve given me throughout this journey. Your help meant so much more than words can express, and I truly wouldn’t have made it without you. Thank you for believing in me.”
