๐ike the first light that helped shape UPSTAGE, you were among the people who gave this organization its beginnings, planting the seeds of a community that generations of artists continue to nurture and carry forward.
๐n the years that followed, your presence remained a quiet constant, offering wisdom, encouragement, and the kind of care that reaches beyond rehearsals, productions, and the stage.
๐iving your time and heart to UPSTAGE never stopped when your years in the classroom came to an end, because while you may have retired from teaching, you never retired from being the Inahan who continues to cheer for, look after, and believe in her artists.
๐nd perhaps that is one of the most beautiful things about you: you have given so much of yourself to generations of Artista ng Bayan, leaving pieces of your warmth, wisdom, and love in every chapter you have helped shape.
๐ฌears may pass and faces may change, but your place in UPSTAGE remains something that time could never outgrow, for there will always be artists who know your name, remember your kindness, and carry forward the lessons you have shared.
๐s another year unfolds, may life return to you even a fraction of the joy, love, and light you have so freely given to others, because you deserve to be celebrated not only for the UPSTAGE you helped build, but for the Inahan you continue to be.
Nawaโy hindi ka mag-RABAGO, kay kinahanglan pa ka namo sa daghang mga tuig nga umaabot! ๐ Hereโs to our Forever Inahan, whose love for UPSTAGE has never known retirement. โจ
