Happy Birthday to our dearest Regina!

You truly pinned my heart. I’m speechless and beyond proud of you. Instead of having a celebration, you chose to give back in the most meaningful way—through service. Your heart for others shone as you gathered your doctor friends, co-medical classmates, and colleagues from the UERM Medical Team and St. Luke’s Medical Team to share your time and medical expertise. In partnership with Gawad Kalinga (GK) Villa Paraiso, Sun Valley, and GK Capiz, you successfully provided care and medical services to 150 patients, both children and adults, making a remarkable impact on their lives.

To Ate Marivic, Paz, Marie Ann, Sheena, Zyza, and everyone who contributed to making the medical mission a success—thank you for embodying the spirit of kindness and service.

We love you so much, Regina! Stay kind, passionate, and selfless. ❤️

🌊 Cheers to 2025! 🌊 New waves, new beginnings, and abundant blessings to all! May this year bring you and your family peace, joy, love, and the strength to embrace every moment with faith and gratitude.

Here’s to a 2025 as boundless and beautiful as the sea! Happy New Year to All!

Salamat, Panginoon, sa biyaya ng pamilya at sa pagkakataong magsama-sama ngayong Pasko. Napuno ng saya, tawanan, at pagmamahal ang aming pagdiriwang sa Villa Paraiso, Sun Valley, na dinaluhan ng 200 bata. Lalo pang naging espesyal ang okasyon dahil sa kasiyahang dala nina SpongeBob at ang magician.

Pasasalamat sa lahat ng tumulong—mula sa pagkain, loot bags, at laruan—at sa aming mga Angels: Ate Paz Fernandez, Ate Marivic Dala, Ate Marie Ann Castro, Ate Kreamy C. G Roldan, Ate Fedil Guilbero, Guilbero, Guilbero, at sa pamilya nila Romero.

Maligayang Kaarawan, Hesus! Salamat sa Iyong pagmamahal na patuloy na nag bibigay ng biyaya at gumagabay sa amin.

Maligayang Pasko mula sa aming pamilya! Fernandez and Cadano Family

Heavenly Father,

With a heart full of gratitude, I thank You for blessing me with the gift of another year. This birthday was a reminder of Your endless love and grace in my life. I am profoundly grateful for my late parents (Benjamin and Adoracion Fernandez), whose wisdom, love, and sacrifices continue to guide me even though they are no longer here. Their presence lives on in my heart, and I know they are watching over me from above.

Thank You, Lord, for my family, who have stood steadfast by my side through every high and low, and for my friends, who continually bring joy and light into my life. In moments of laughter and in times of trial, You have shown me the beauty of relationships built on love and support. Through them, I see Your hands at work, reminding me that I am never alone.

This day wasn’t just a celebration of another year but a reflection of the countless blessings You have poured into my life. I pray that I can continue to be a vessel of love and kindness to others, just as You have surrounded me with those who uplift and inspire me.

Thank You, Lord, for the gift of life and the people who make it so meaningful. All glory and praise belong to You, now and always.

Amen.
