Music that Describes Dr. Mae Ann
Dr. Mae Ann Landicho was nominated by her colleague, Rojhene Jamero.
Compassionate, dedicated, and inspiring. Those are the three words that best describe Dr. Landicho. She has consistently gone above and beyond for her students, helping them not only succeed academically, but believe in their own potential.
"I will never forget a moment when she took extra time after class to listen to a student who was struggling personally, reminding me that teaching is about building trust and care as much as it is about instruction. Her leadership is evident, not only in the classroom, but in how she supports colleagues outside with encouragement and guidance. I want to thank her for being a true role model, showing compassion both professionally and personally, and creating a lasting impact on everyone around her," said Jamero.
I want to express my deepest gratitude for everything you have done for me since the very first day I arrived at Desert Pines High School in 2023. You welcomed me not only as a new teacher, but as someone you believed in, guided, and supported with so much patience and care. You have been more than a mentor, you’ve been a mother, a colleague, and truly one of my closest friends here.
Thank you for standing beside me through every challenge, for celebrating every win, and for helping me grow into the teacher I am today. Your wisdom, your kindness, and your unwavering faith in me have shaped my journey in ways words can hardly express. I’m endlessly grateful for the lessons you’ve taught me - both in the classroom and in life.
I am so proud and honored to have worked with you, learned from you, and shared this chapter of my life with you. I will carry everything you’ve taught me into every future classroom, every decision, and every new opportunity that comes my way.
Thank you for being my mentor, my support, and my heart here at Desert Pines. I appreciate you more than I can ever say.

Wow!!! Life Changer indeed, for my wife Araceli, and I, when you and Philip Landicho invited us both wholeheartedly and generously in your wonderful home, an adventure we will always be grateful for. Your warmth and graciousness reflect an inner joy that is forever imprinted in our hearts.

Dr. Mae Ann Araneta Landicho- is one of a kind and a truly life changer. It is beyond blessed to have juggled and aced work,motherhood and married life not leaving the family. Mae Ann is at par a reflection of humility and benevolence. Distance cannot hinder her in helping out even from afar. It was before pandemic struck the Philippines that Mayang as I fondly called her went out to reach out to us. She willingly packed a big box filled with reading books of all sort. This was right after hearing my concern about my learners who are struggling and having difficulty in reading and comprehension. I was so overwhelmed that time and could never forget the help she extended unto us. Until the present we never stopped updating each other about our shared passion. Mae Ann always see to it that even how busy she is with all the hustles in the world- friends will always be friends. That was just one of the multitide of deeds she executed that eventually changed lives of educators and learners as well..Kudos Mayang and cheers to more lives that you will affect soon.
Mae Ann was my classmate in college and since then we have been in constant communication sharing life updates. Sharing the same passion for helping kids especially the less fortunate and those left out. We share the same vision in developing every learner regardless of capacity. It was before pandemic struck the Philippines that she went out to send me a big box of books of all sort. It was another blessing for me helping those 7th graders who were struggling in reading and comprehension. I was so touched because I believed in her willingness to help. Mayang as I fondly call her is a very instrumental in carrying out our call in educating children. God bless Mayang! Continue to be a bridge in changing lives of people you come across.
