Teacher Luisa: Alam mo anak Jerick... meron man o wala kayong maibibigay sa akin ngayon Teachers Day . Wala sa akin iyon....dahil ang gusto ko kasama ko kayong lahat sa araw na ito. Pantay-pantay ang pagtingin ko sa inyong lahat. Actually anak, ito ang nagustuhan ko sa lahat . Pinaiyak mo ako dahil pinakita mo sa akin ang tunay mong pagmamahal sa akin bilang iyong titser. You are true and humble and you care for me. Gusto mong ipakita at ipaalala sa akin na dapat laging Healthy si Teacher Luisa . Salamat anak sa regalo mo. Mahal ko kayong lahat.

Teacher Luisa "Just to let you know, Jerick...whether you have a gift or not for me on Teacher's Day - it doesn't matter to me...all I want is to be with all of you on this day. I look at all of you with equal regard. To tell you the truth, I liked this best of all. You made me cry because you showed me that you really love me as your teacher. You are true and humble and you care for me. You wanted to show and to remind me that your teacher Luisa should always be healthy. Thank you for your gift. I love you all."
