  • From Classroom to Courtroom: A Journey of Gratitude and Humility
    Feb 13 2026

    “Have you ever felt that maybe God is pulling you toward something bigger—something scarier—but undeniably yours?

    “What if the skills you’ve built in one profession were actually preparing you for a purpose in another field?

    Co teach-today’s conversation is about a former teacher who made a bold leap into the legal profession. To me, her journey is like a celebration of the values of humility, love for her family, gratefulness, and faith in God.

    Welcome to Pinoy Blackboard, the podcast where we share real stories of growth, courage, and insights from Filipino teachers abroad and in the Philippines. I’m your host, and your co-teacher, Ms E.

    Mrs. Jalieca Gadong-Balite taught young minds and now she practices law. Still guided by the same discipline, hard work, and purpose, now, attorney Jalieca Gadong carries forward that zeal for service in her journey as a lawyer, listen to this, she does that with much gratitude to the teaching profession.

    Be blessed, co-teach, be inspired.

    Jan 31 2026

    Co-teach, is this you?

    You love where you are and what you do, but you keep asking yourself these questions:

    ‘Is it too late to change careers?’ or ‘Am I allowed to choose a different path?’ “Am I really

    ready to leave my comfort zone and accomplish more?”

    Today, we’re joined by someone who did not only ask those questions, but he bravely answered them with action!

    Dr. John Magalong, is a well-celebrated Filipino Physics teacher and an accomplished and proud career-shifter.

    Let's start, co-teach, let’s learn from the pressure and pleasure points Dr. Magalong faced. You’ll be blessed to hear how grateful he is for everything that he experienced before and after answering his new calling.
