I often catch myself overthinking
Did I do enough?
Did I honor the trust you gave me?
There were quiet nights of doubt, moments I questioned if I was truly worthy of the role.
But God knows I did what i could to show up, to serve, to endure.
This journey hasn’t been easy.
And for a while, I thought I had to harden myself, because that’s what the world expects from those in public service.
But along the way, I learned that there is strength in softness. Power in honesty.
And healing in simply showing up as I truly am.
Yes, there were challenges. The journey stretched me in ways I never imagined, but I’m grateful for every lesson.
And now… it’s time to turn the page.
But before I do, I want to give thanks.
I thank God for allowing me to be an instrument, to help in ways I could, even with limited resources.
To everyone who supported & sponsored our projects, especially MQSM, Telecure, Cong Danny Domingo, Gov. Daniel Fernando, Vice Gov Alex Castro & Kons Tony Lava, thank you for believing in our vision and for giving so generously.
To my family, Chloe, Mommy, Daddy, Kuya A, my Mimi, my friends, my ever-reliable secretaries Homer and Steffie, who handled all the legwork and helped carry the weight, thank you for being my constants, my grounding force.
To the 11th Sangguniang Bayan, my fellow councilors, and all the hardworking staff, especially Sec Gracey, Kuya JC, Tita Diday, and Ate Xel—thank you for your warmth and for always making me feel welcome and safe.
To Vice Mayor Aika, whose strong and efficient leadership I deeply admire,
thank you po. I learned so much from you.
To Tatay Kap Ody, i hope, somehow, i made you proud. 🤍
And to everyone who believed in me, who reached out, who leaned on me, who stood by me, at one point or another, MARAMING MARAMING SALAMAT PO.
Thank you for walking this journey with me.
Serving you has been one of the greatest honors of my life.
Maraming salamat po. Hanggang sa muli. 💕
