The term of the Future Engineers' Union for Academic Year 2025โ2026 was, in many ways, built from the ground up.
At a time when very few ka-esCOElas were willing to step forward and embrace the challenge of public service, we searched for students whom we believed possessed the heart, courage, and potential to lead. When they answered the call, many of them asked the same question:
"๐ผ๐ฅ๐๐ฎ ๐ฃ๐๐ ๐จ๐๐๐ ?"
A simple question that echoed throughout our entire term.
And every time it was asked, the answer remained the same:
"๐ฝ๐๐๐๐ช๐จ๐ ๐ฌ๐ ๐จ๐๐ฌ ๐ฅ๐ค๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐๐ก ๐๐ฃ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช."
That belief became the anchor that carried this administration forward. It became the foundation upon which we built our aspirations, our programs, and our service. Yet, as with any journey, not every story unfolded as expected. Some were overtaken by the surging waves of challenges and circumstances, unable to fully realize the potential we once saw in them. Nevertheless, their presence and contributions remain a part of the story we have written together.
Looking back, we recognize that our term was far from perfect. There were plans left unfinished, opportunities missed, and lessons learned through challenges. Yet amidst those imperfections, we remained steadfast in our purposeโto serve. And if there is one thing we can proudly say, it is that we never stopped trying to listen, to improve, to serve with integrity, and to respond to the needs of our fellow ka-esCOElas. In our own way, we were able to create positive change and leave the community better than we found it.
It was never a secret that this term endured criticism, doubts, resistance, and even moments of disappointment. Yet instead of allowing those challenges to discourage us, we transformed them into fuelโfuel for our determination, fuel for our commitment, and fuel for our desire to lead and serve with GREAT ISEM.
Today, as the newly elected officers of the Future Engineers' Union take their oath and prepare to write their own chapter, we, the outgoing officers, quietly step aside.
This is not a farewell born from leaving. Rather, it is a farewell born from making roomโfor new opportunities, fresh ideas, and another generation of servant leaders. We may be laying down the positions entrusted to us, but we will forever carry the friendships, lessons, memories, and bonds that this journey has given us.
We extend our deepest appreciation to the former FEU officers who stood with the organization throughout the academic year. Your sacrifices, dedication, and unwavering commitment helped shape this administration into what it became. We offer special recognition to Former Governor Ian Sevilla and to those who continued to share their passion and love for service long after their responsibilities demanded it, and to our beloved adviser, Engr. Maria Eden A. Pizarro, whose guidance, patience, and unwavering support helped steer us through every challenge we encountered.
We would also like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to our partner organizations and collaborators who helped turn our plans into meaningful accomplishments. To the PICEโASIST Student Chapter, the IIEEโASIST B Student Chapter, and our friends from the Mechanical Engineering Department, thank you for your support, cooperation, and shared dedication to service. Your partnership played a vital role in making many of our initiatives possible, and for that, we are truly grateful.
Most importantly, we thank every ka-esCOEla who chose to walk this journey with us. To those who volunteered, participated, collaborated, supported, criticized constructively, and believed in our visionโthank you. Thank you for sharing your time, your energy, and your trust. You made every hardship lighter and every success more meaningful. You helped transform ideas into realities and events into memorable experiences.

๐๐ง๐ค๐๐ค๐ช๐ฃ๐๐ก๐ฎ ๐๐ง๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ช๐ก.
As a new set of leaders takes the helm, we hope that you continue to extend the same support, passion, and cooperation that you have shown us. Their journey begins where ours ends, and their success will depend on the same collective spirit that has always defined our college community.
Though our term has come to a close, our commitment to the union does not end here. Titles may fade, positions may change, and responsibilities may be passed on, but the values we have upheld and the purpose that brought us together will remain.
As we pass the flame with GREAT ISEM, may we never forget the question that once echoed in our hearts:
"๐ผ๐ฅ๐๐ฎ ๐ฃ๐๐ ๐จ๐๐๐ ?"
And when life asks the same question again, may we remember the answer:
"๐ฝ๐๐๐๐ช๐จ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ง๐ ๐๐จ ๐ฅ๐ค๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐๐ก ๐ฌ๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐ ๐ง๐๐๐ก๐๐ฏ๐๐."
