Dear Unang Hirit family, It wasn't hard to look for old pictures because you've given me a compilation of my memories with you guys before I left. Looking at those pictures never fails to put a smile, and at times, shed tears on my face. Thank you for giving me the best farewell a family can give as I go on to my chosen journey with my boys. I can never thank you enough for all the great memories you've given me. I've always looked forward to going to work because I know I will be sharing lots of laughter and intelligent and silly exchanges with you guys. Everything I achieved is a result of Unang Hirit giving me a chance. For this, my heartfelt thanks. Happy 20th anniversary to my morning family. I will be cheering you on in the next years. I'm proud to be part of the best morning show in the Philippines because you've made work feel like home. Your Morning Girl, Rhea @unanghirit #unanghirit #yourmorninggirl #UH20
