First of all, thank you so much to everyone who joined yesterday's screening. It really takes courage to put yourself out there, and I'm genuinely happy to see new faces who are willing to become part of the SIHS Media Team. Whether you make it or not, I hope this experience encourages you to keep learning, improving, and believing in yourself. This is just the beginning.
โ
โBeing back today honestly felt different. Grabe ka nostalgic. It reminded me of how we started. It feels like yesterday nga kami pud ang ga-screening, ga-panic sa among first coverage, ga-practice ug scripts, and trying our best to learn everything.
โ
โTo our adviser, Sir John Jubil Niones Niรฑo, thank you so much, Sir. Thank you for believing in us, trusting us, and for sharing so much knowledge that we'll carry wherever we go. You were never just our adviser, you became our mentor, our friend, and our school papa.
โ
โGrabe sad ka ka hands-on nga adviser. Sa tinuod lang, I don't think naka-experience jud mi nga nasuko ka namo, even sa among pinaka-kiat nga moments. ๐ญ You were always patient, understanding, and supportive. Instead of doing everything for us, you let us learn on our own. You trusted us enough to make mistakes, learn from them, and become better. Dako kaayo mig salig nimo, and mas dako pa jud imong salig sa amo. Thank you for always seeing our potential even before we saw it ourselves. Everything I know today started because of your guidance. Idol jud taka, Sir. ๐ซก

โTo my fellow SIHS Media Team members, thank you for making this journey one of the best parts of my high school life. I'll definitely miss all the laughter, the random moments, and every event we covered together.
โ
โNever jud nako malimtan katong nag-video gihapon ta bisag kusog kaayo ang ulan kay mga bidabida man ta. ๐ญ Bahala'g mabasa, basta makakuha lang ug shots. Nya timing pajud ato, nakuyapan si Kiana. ๐ญ HAHAHAHA. Never forgettiii jud to.
โNya syempre... never pud nako malimtan katong mga audio recordings nga wa nako na-send sa Google Drive. ๐ญ๐ญ Na-bahaw nalang jud sila sa akong phone, maong wa na-post ang newscast. Sorry kaayo, ako jud to. HAHAHAHA.
โ
โSa Photojournalism pud, mag-ilog pa jud tag camera kay tanan gusto mahimong photographer. "Ako sa!" "Ako napud!" Murag ang camera jud ang pinakaagawan sa Media Team. ๐ญ๐ธ
โ
โAnd every school event, kita jud ang pinakabidabida. Sige rag lusot sa crowd, dagan diri, dagan didto, pasoยฒ sa tunga sa mga tao para lang makakuha ug the best shots. If naa gani'y ga-dagan with a camera while everyone else is peacefully watching the program, kabalo na dayon ka... taga-Media Team na. ๐
โ
โNow, I guess it's finally time to pass the camera... or should I say, pass the responsibility, kay wa man tay crown diri. ๐ญ To the next Assistant Director and to the next generation of the SIHS Media Team, enjoy every coverage, every script nga balik-balikon ug revise, every interview, every random laugh, and every memory you'll create together. Ayaw ka-pressure kung masayop mo, kay that's part of the journey. Before you know it, kamo napud ang maghimo ug ing-ani nga farewell message.
โ
โThank you, SIHS Media Team, for giving me a second family, a place where I grew, and memories I'll carry with me wherever life takes me. And thank you, The Portal, for being one of the best chapters of my high school life.
โ
โThis may be the end of my journey as your Assistant Director, but I'll always be cheering for this team from the sidelines.
โ
โI came to tell stories, but little did I know that this team would become one of my favorite stories to tell. This is Czarina Kaye Fernandez, your Assistant Director, signing off. โค๏ธ๐๏ธ
โ
โOnce a member of the SIHS Media Team, always a member of the SIHS Media Team. ๐ฉต
