Dear Rodly

Dear Rodly.

You and your family have always inspired me.

I am so thankful that you have found a great team at nXscale and that they celebrate what you bring to them as a coworker and a person.

I know that for all kinds of reasons, your road has not been an easy one. And your breast cancer diagnosis, just as you were stepping out into the world as a young adult, must have been devastating. 

Throughout this long battle, you fulfilled your obligations to your family, friends, and your coworkers at nXscale with a quiet grace, calmness, and determination that I will forever admire.

Your example inspires me, Rodly. And everything you have achieved and will achieve will be thanks to your own exceptional intelligence, skill, and heart.

All of us in your life simply opened the door for you; it was up to you alone to step through those doors and make the most out of the opportunities life presented you.

And you did.

I am personally thankful to Shauna Jay Popple Williams, fashion designer Koo Gotauco, your teachers at the Fashion Institute of the Philippines, Frank David, and everyone at nXscale for recognizing your potential and giving you the support you needed to share your shine with this world.

You’re a North Star, Rodly. I believe in you; keep doing great things, and keep shining. <3
