On this day, a Diva was born 
It’s a main character moment for the most OA, unbothered girly, and the EIC with blush blindness, Ms. Precious Grace Nery!
Many call her Precious, but the pub baptized her as “Chippy”. And Chippy, upgrades today!
Our team has been sailing across seas overcoming waves that proved to be intimidating and turbulent.
To chippy, you are our anchor which keeps the team and our ship of purpose steady and resolute. You are our north star which guides us forward, reflecting light to our path making it brighter and clearer allowing us to confidently steer in the right direction.
As we celebrate the “kinakusgan”, the one and only, backbone of The Tradesman, we present you 9 things that makes Chippy iconically distinguishable

These are the little things that have etched themselves into our hearts, reminders of who you are and the place you hold in each of our lives. You’re not just the pillar of this publication; over time, you’ve become a pillar of strength, kindness, and inspiration for everyone here. As much as we celebrate your special day, we can’t help but feel bittersweet, knowing that time isn’t always on our side.
Ate P, we will miss the warmth and light you bring to us every day, but above all, we will miss you. On your birthday, we want you to know how deeply you are loved and cherished.
From all of us at The Tradesman: Happy birthday! We love you more than words can say.
Sincerely and lovingly,
Your da Chredsman fam :b
