First, as I conclude this series of notes on my journey through the Philippines, I would like to mention one name with great respect and gratitude. She is Ma'am Dina B. Palomar, a foster parent who has been my support and protector throughout the SEA Teacher Batch 11 program.
Although we don't live under the same roof, Ma'am Dina's presence and care extend far beyond the program's formal responsibilities. From the moment I arrived, she ensured that I never felt alone in this new environment. Her guidance extended beyond the technical aspects of the internship to invaluable life advice.
Thank you, Ma'am Dina, for caring for me so sincerely. The way you treated me with such tenderness and care truly made me feel like your own child. Amidst her busy schedule and responsibilities, she always took the time to check on me, ensure I was adapting well, and provide wise guidance that greatly assisted me in interacting with the local community in Tapaz.
Having someone like Ma'am Dina in a foreign land is an incredible blessing. She taught me that a mother's love and care are not limited by blood ties or distance. Thank you for being such an incredible parent, mentor, and protector to me. Ma'am Dina's kindness will always be one of my most cherished memories, one I will cherish forever, even after I return to Indonesia.
second, My journey in the Philippines wouldn't have been complete without Edcel Mae Alberto. As a buddy, Edcel was more than just a program partner; she was a friend and a protector who genuinely cared for me throughout my time at Tapaz.
Thank you, bro for helping me settle into CAPSU Tapaz, introducing me to the local culture, and always being there to make sure I didn't feel alone. From discussing lesson plans to laughing during breaks, your support meant the world to me. Thank you for treating me like a sister. This friendship is the most beautiful gift I've brought back to Indonesia. Salamat kaayo, my dear friend!

This journey certainly wouldn't be complete without the presence of our amazing colleagues from SEA Teacher Batch 11. To all the participants who fought together in 2026, thank you for your encouragement and solidarity.
Although we are placed in different schools and regions, knowing that you are also struggling in front of the classroom, developing lesson plans, and adapting to new cultures gives me strength.
