AS WE REACH the close of another year, I find myself reflecting on the incredible journey that has brought us together.
To all our avid readers at Samar Chronicle, thank you for consistently following our stories, engaging with our content, and for making our work meaningful. Your trust and support fuel our passion and motivate us every day to deliver news that matters. It’s your loyalty and interest that keep us striving to improve, and for that, I am deeply grateful.
To our advertisers and subscribers, a heartfelt thank you for believing in us and for your continued partnership. Your support has been vital in making our work possible, and your commitment to our platform allows us to bring the stories you care about to the forefront. We could not do it without you.
A special word of thanks goes out to the organizers — especially the Philippine Press Institute — of the many journalism training sessions I’ve had the honor of participating in. From Manila to Bohol, Cebu, and Mindanao, and even overseas in Germany and Belgium, these experiences have been invaluable. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn, to grow, and to exchange ideas with fellow journalists and mentors. These moments of learning have not only shaped my craft but also reminded me of the power of journalism to bring about change and understanding.
Thank you for believing in me and for inviting me to be part of these important discussions. Each of these experiences has enriched my journey, and I carry with me the lessons and connections that will continue to guide me forward.
As we approach a new year, I am reminded of the power of collaboration, of learning, and of the shared commitment to truth and storytelling. To everyone who has been part of this journey—whether through your readership, your support, or your mentorship—thank you. I look forward to what lies ahead, and to continuing this journey with all of you.
Here’s to more stories on Samar Chronicle, more growth, and the incoming new year 2025 full of new opportunities.
Merry Christmas!!! Cheers!
