"Ang masayop, masi-masi."

Thank you, everyone, for being part of this journey serving the University of Cebu Banilad.

It wasn’t an easy ride, but we made it through together. Moving from where we started to where we are today was no small feat; it required sweat, tears, immense effort, and most importantly the will to keep going.

We didn’t just build a team or an organization; we built a family. We forged a bond that defines who we are today. This family is the ultimate symbol of our dedication, because without each of us giving our all, this organization would be nothing.

(Bisaya Version)

"Ang masayop, masi-masi."
Daghang salamat ninyong tanan nga nahimong kabahin sa atong paningkamot sa pagpangalagad sa University of Cebu Banilad.

Wala gyud to mahimong sayon nga biyahe, apan garbo nako nga makaingon nga kitang tanan nakalampus. Nasayod ta nga dili sayon ang atong giagian gikan sa pagsugod hangtod karon—nagbubo ta og singot, luha, panahon, ug kakugi. Labaw sa tanan, gibitbit nato ang lig-on nga Panganti (Will) nga dili gyud mosurender.

Wala lang ta nagtukod og grupo o organisasyon; naghimo ta og usa ka pamilya. Nakahimo ta og bugkos nga maoy naghulma kon kinsa ta karon.

Kini nga pamilya nga atong gipundar pinaagi sa grabeng sakripisyo mao ang simbolo sa atong panaghiusa. Kay kon wala ta, kining atong organisasyon walay kapuslanan.

(Tagalog Version)

"Ang masayop, masi-masi."
Maraming salamat sa inyong lahat na naging bahagi ng ating paglalakbay sa paglilingkod sa University of Cebu Banilad.

Hindi naging madali ang ating pinagdaanan, pero sa wakas, sama-sama tayong nakarating sa dulo. Alam nating lahat na hindi biro ang trabahong ginawa natin mula noon hanggang ngayon—nagbuhos tayo ng pawis, luha, oras, pagod, at ang pinakamahalaga sa lahat, ang ating Paninindigan (Will).

Hindi lang tayo bumuo ng isang koponan o organisasyon; bumuo tayo ng isang pamilya. Nakabuo tayo ng bigkis na humubog sa kung sino tayo ngayon.

Ang pamilyang ito na ating itinatag sa pamamagitan ng matinding pagsisikap ay ang simbolo ng ating pagkakaisa, dahil kung wala tayo, ang organisasyong ito ay walang saysay.

Good bye mga ka insperasyon.

‎𝙒𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙨 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧𝙨, 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙢𝙚 𝙖 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙢, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙨 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚.

‎At first, we were just individuals brought together by circumstance — different personalities, different stories, different reasons for being here. Some of us were quiet, some blaring, some unsure if we even belonged. But somehow, through every training, every emergency, every moment of chaos and pressure — we found each other.

‎We didn’t just learn how to respond to emergencies — we learned how to trust. Not the easy kind of trust, but the kind built in stressful moments, in silence, in knowing someone has your back without needing to say it out loud.

‎There were times we were tired. Times we doubted ourselves. Times we wanted to give up. But we didn’t. We stayed. We showed up. Again and again. And in doing so, we became more than just a group/organization — we became something real — a family.

‎Looking back now, it’s hard to believe how far we’ve come. The memories don’t just feel like moments anymore — they feel like pieces of who we are now. The laughs, the stress, the random nonsense, the quiet conversations, all of it mattered more than we realized at the time.

‎We would like to thank each and every one of those people who supported our organization from the ground to the top. To our mentors who guided us, corrected us, and believed in us even when we were still figuring things out — thank you for your patience and for shaping us into who we are today.

‎To those who came before us, who built the foundation we stood on — you may not always see it, but your efforts lived on in every action we took and every step we made forward.

‎To every member — past and present — thank you.
‎Thank you for the sacrifices, the time, the effort, and the heart you gave.
‎Thank you for staying, even when it was hard.
‎Thank you for choosing to care.

‎Because at the end of it all, this was never just about responding to emergencies.
‎It was about showing up for people.
‎For strangers.
‎For each other.

‎And somewhere along the way, without even realizing it, we became the very thing we were trying to be for others — someone people could rely on.

‎Now, as we close this chapter, we don’t just walk away with memories.
‎We carry lessons, friendships, and pieces of each other that will stay with us wherever we go.

‎Some of us will move on to different paths, different places, different lives.
‎But no matter how far we go, a part of us will always belong here — with this team, with these people, with these moments.
‎So this isn’t really a goodbye.

‎It’s just a quiet acknowledgment that something meaningful happened here.

‎Congratulations, Batch 2025-2026.
‎May you be carried by the wind, and in every place you find yourself, may the light of service and volunteerism you once shared here continue to live on through you.

To each of you, our UCB-ERT SHS graduates, congratulations on reaching this milestone! 🎓💙

You have proven that it is possible to balance academics and service with dedication and discipline. From managing your studies, deadlines, and responsibilities, to showing up for deployments and trainings, you carried both roles with commitment and resilience. It was never easy, but you made it through with strength, teamwork, and determination.

Your journey reflects not only academic success, but also a heart for service – ready to respond, ready to lead, and ready to make a difference. As you move forward to new chapters, may you carry with you the lessons, experiences, and values you’ve gained along the way.
