“Being part of this organization has been one of the greatest joys of my life.”- Ma’am Richelle.

7 Fulfilling Years! Ma’am Richelle R. Pabualan, known in the organization as Ma’am Sheng, Mamie and Mamshie, was the lone-strongest pillar of the board. Her contribution as the adviser of the University of Perpetual Help System Isabela’s official school publication, the Perpetual Gazette- through her guidance reached far greater heights as a result of her effort and commitment.

A living legacy indeed, the passion she had as an adviser was exceptional. Incomparable to none, her keen expertise to journalism fueled the editorial board’s confidence to aim for excellence, integrity and enthusiasm- all to uphold the Perpetual Gazette’s quest as the voice of Perpetualites.

A school journalist tends to be alone, likes to write in one corner, and disappears like never was seen. However, the scene when she is around gets colored with hues of nervousness, excitement, and motivation. When you meet her in the office, in hallway, and even in the school’s comfort room, there is always an information she carries that has never been disseminated and so she would say “Please prepare an article for this.” and your conversation will always end with her “Thank you!”

Surely, one would say that its too tiring to be a school journalist, but when she pushes you to go in the crowd for news coverage- she is telling you to be courageous, so that in the future, no matter the path you take, you will walk confidently and when she tells you to write for school updates- she is giving you the opportunity to be the voice of the school, so that in the future you will learn how to be seen and heard.

“GPIPS” as she fondly calls the Gazette members, have made an everlasting impact. Her lucky number, guessing- is 7. Those years filled with leadership, responsibility, and dedication radiates with pride as she watched her advisees making a mark as they showcase their talent and eagerness in journalism. An inspiring adviser she was, her contagious smile warms the editorial board, she empowers by the way she talks, and is as supportive as no one can be.

The Perpetual Gazette of 2024 gives glory to those years of being the editorial board adviser as bids of goodbye waves, beaming with pride and honor. 

Honestly, Certainly, Absolutely, Undoubtedly, what an adviser she was and a Perpetualite she is!
