A Moment to Treasure, A Family to Keep!🫂❤️
As we took our last pictures together as officers, I felt an overwhelming mix of emotions. This moment was more than just a simple photograph—it was a reminder of the journey we have shared, the challenges we’ve overcome, and the bond we’ve built. Truly, it was such a wonderful moment that I never expected, and one I will forever keep in my heart.
To my amazing team of officers — thank you. Thank you for your tireless efforts, for your help whenever I needed it, for the friendship that grew stronger with every activity, and for the love and support that kept us going. What started as responsibility turned into something far more beautiful. We became more than just officers — we became family.
I also want to take this moment to give my deepest gratitude to the people who guided, supported, and inspired us:
To our extension coordinator, Ms. Daryl Helen Joy Lubiton — thank you for treating us fairly and for considering us as your own children. Your patience and dedication shaped us in ways we will never forget.
To our Dean, Mrs. Felomena Bernardo — for always supporting our programs and believing in our abilities. Your leadership gave us strength to serve better.
To Sir Edyard Villar — for your continuous financial support and encouragement. You reminded us that leadership is not only about service but also about helping one another to succeed.
To Sir Mark Jayson Laciste, our OIC-CCEOP Director — thank you for your guidance and for showing us the way when things became unclear. Your presence always motivated us to move forward with confidence.
And of course, to my co-officers — thank you for standing beside me throughout this journey. The friendship, the laughter, the shared struggles, and the unforgettable memories will always remain close to my heart.
Though our term as officers has ended, my support does not. I promise to stand behind the new officers and continue to give the efforts I can, because leadership does not end with a position — it continues with a heart that chooses to serve.
This is not goodbye, but a celebration of everything we’ve achieved together and the family we have built. Thank you all for making this journey one of the most meaningful experiences of my life.
With all my gratitude and love,
Nikki Navarro
CBE-CCEOP Student Volunteer President
