Let me call the my Heroes in Brothers and Sisters.
Ate Ruby. She's one of the few leaders I first knew when I got in YFC May 2003. She was this petite and very attention grabbing lady. I was not a fan of girls wearing high heels or whatever, I am a fan of ladies who wear jeans+tshirts+flats. And ate ruby was the jeans+tshirt+socks+slippers. She's cute. She is basically a hero because she serves with her heart. She does not choose the people she would share her life too. She tends to understand you. She believes in your abilities and will appreciate you. Your look, and how you carry yourself. Her music inspired me a lot. She was that first person, that made me define that simplicity is a real beauty. I was 12 when I met her, and even upto this moment that I barely see her. She continues to inspire me. The feeling that you know deep inside you, there will always be this person who will forever be an inspiration. That's Ate Ruby. I thank her for having shared her life with me.
2. Kuya Joseph Zabala.
Hello Kuya Jo! Kuya Pogi as I used to call him. He was my leader when I was in KFC. He was that person who taught me that when you serve the kids, you just have to love them. Enjoy being with them, etc. He was a hero.
3. Gerra Fetalvero.
I basically knew her as the coord's daughter. But it was in Ate Gerra where I learned how to appreciate the kids so much. I mean, with all of you. And when she plans, she put s everything into it. She has a very creative mind. She's a hero.
4. Ralph Guce.
My my-most-memorable partner in service. He is my hero because when I literally needed a partner, he was there. He may not have given the 100% work, but he was there for me all the way. Our partnership is something i'll always be proud having of. He has always told me before that.. If I were in that situation, I would understand unlike those who misunderstood him. His shoulders used to be my comfort when I felt bad with so many things. He was there to be my clown. He is annoying but I love him! Ha-ha. He will always be that someone whom I know, will always love me. I am really thankful of him. I just thank the Lord because I know when I offered him the position as my partner, he was unaware. He has no idea. But still. He accepted. Well, I know. Being in that position was his stepping stone. I am really proud of where Nunoy is now. People may misunderstand his naughtiness but I myself appreciate him. If given the chance to serve and have another partner again, I will still want him to be my service partner.ü
4. kuyas.
Sonny Ricablanca
The Cum Laude. The Full Time Worker.
This person was really one of the few people who inspired me so much. His words were moving. He is a very caring kuya. He was my hero. In the core of my heart, Kuya Sonny together with Kuya Joseph Saguid will always be my heroes in service. They inspired me academically, spiritually ofcourse. Whatever they say, I am moved.
Kuya Joseph as one of the coolest and most inspiring. He fights for what he truly believes in.
Moja Mojares.
I should never forget Kuya Moja. He is the one of a kind Kuya. He was my hero. He was one of the first persons in service who believed in me, big time.
Jueren Nabua.
I bet he truly is the sweetest. The kuya who will always check on you. Somone that Wherever the Lord brings him, he continues to inspire others.
5. I want to name the other ates and kuyas who inspired me, too. And made an impact on my life too. But there's too many. :) You know who you are.
6. My kfc team.
My subordinates. The ates/kuyas i led. How I miss all of you. Every single thing I did in the service will never be as possible enough If you guys werent there. Imagine handling hundreds of kids, with different attitudes, how stressful. But you just made things a lot easier. Thank you! My Heroes! I wish them all well. I love all of you!
7. The KFC Titos/Titas.
Awww! I know how much I got y'all disappointed when I decided to lie-low. But seriously, from the bottom of my heart. I thank God that He has given me good people like you. *Teary Eyed*. Thank You for imparting so many things in me. You guys made me feel super special. How you all treated me as your own, how you entrusted every single kid in me. Thank You for trying to understand. Thank you, for I know y'all have always believed in me. The reason why I never got tired of doing every single thing for the kids was because of you. I got your back, Titos/Titas. You were simply there. I miss you all. And you'll be forever here.

3rd Scg:
:: Justine Danielle Ilagan.
Baks, Words will never be enough. I met Justine when I was 11. She was 8. I became a YFC, and a KFC Ate. And it just so happened that I had the chance to handle her. Me being her ate. As I watched her crossed in the YFC, and became a leader.. I was so proud. Seeing someone you used to take care of has finally become a part of your group. I am literally proud of her. I actually entrusted her so many things. The bond we got is just so real. She is my heroine. She simply taught me so many things. I love my Baks! :)
Kuya Roel ;Ate bebang: Next people to inspire me. How they moved the colleges. Two great people!
Nailah & Ej! Awww!! You moved the Highschools!
Empoy: I LOVE YOU!
Charm, Vino, Ceph, Nikki, Mikko, Bungo, CB,Who else? Just all of you! I love you!! My Heroes.
Tito Benjie & Tita Carol Magaling. My sincerest gratitude for treating me as your own. You two were my first parents in YFC. Thank you for all the nice things. For all the kindness you have shown to me. For the love that you give to me all these years. I know, you will always love me. As much as I do love the both of you. Thank you for believing a lot in me. Thank you for the inspiration.
. My little heroes.
The most important creatures I met in my service. Breaks my heart seeing that I can no longer get my position back and be with you guys again. (I chose to lie-low). If ever I would have another chance to repeat my life, and serve again, I will still choose serving the kids. The kids taught me so many life's lessons. How I remember when everytime the kids get to see me they will tease me or run onto me. Geez. People do not know how much love I put in my service to the KFC. If I could define love at the moment im writing this, I would say love was when I served the kfc. No one knows how much heart-breaking it is every time I get to reminisce the days of my being an Ate to the kids. Those little creatures are my hero because it wasnt me who inspired them truly, it was simply them who made a HUGE impact in my life.
To you guys, thank you for the inspiration. Thank you.
