We are pleased to inform you that the first edition of the 𝗚𝗮𝗕𝗔𝗜 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 is now available online in Flipbook format. This initiative is part of our ongoing efforts to enhance accessibility and ensure that valuable information reaches a wider audience.
"𝗚𝗮𝗕𝗔𝗜," the 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 of the 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲, embodies the essence of support and care. The title combines the Filipino word "𝙜𝙖𝙗𝙖𝙮," meaning to guide or help, with "𝙗𝙖𝙞," a Visayan term used for a dear friend, signifying closeness and trust. Together, it reflects the section’s mission to provide guidance and assistance in a friendly, approachable manner.
This newsletter aims to bridge the connection between the Guidance and Testing Office and the community it serves. Through GaBAI, we share valuable insights, resources, and updates, ensuring that everyone feels supported in their personal and academic journeys. It is a testament to our commitment to being a guiding companion for those who seek help.

LAST DAY OF OUR SALE🚨 20% off all orders of our journaling course👉 https://bit.ly/3SzbCf9

Be comfortable in your own skin.
Know who you are.

Understand deeply that what people do is never a reflection of you and is always their perception of life.

You are not for everyone and they are not always for you.

When you are not included, invited, or considered, whisper to yourself, “Thank you for the space necessary in my life for the people that matter most to me. I am blessed.” 🤍

(I am at a place in my life where peace is a priority. I make deliberate life choices to protect my mental, emotional, and spiritual state.-unknown)
