MANILA, Philippines – Former Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) grand winner, Kapamilya actor, and now vice governor of Oriental Mindoro Ejay Falcon couldn't believe that he finally completed his Bachelor of Arts in Political Science majoring in Local Government Administration at the University of Makati after 17 years.
In an interview with MJ Felipe for TV Patrol, he mentioned that he enrolled in college back in 2007 but had to pause his studies then.

He said that it was worth it to travel back and forth from their province to Manila just to study. With pride, he can now say that he is a college graduate.
Since he is also in the field of politics, Ejay plans to pursue a Master's Degree program related to his Bachelor's Degree.
In the interview, Ejay mentioned that he really persevered in his studies to serve as a role model for the youth as a public servant.
In his Facebook post on Monday, September 2, Ejay expressed his happiness about this milestone in his life, as well as for those like him who have also completed their education.
"Ngayon, habang tayo ay nagdiriwang ng ating mga tagumpay, alalahanin po natin na ang bawat hakbang na ating tinahak ay nagbigay-daan sa mga oportunidad na darating. Ang mga aral po na ating natutunan ay hindi lamang mga kaalaman kundi mga gabay na magdadala sa atin sa mas maliwanag na hinaharap," he said.
"Ano ang susunod?"
"Tuklasin ang mga bagong oportunidad: Huwag po tayong matakot na subukan ang mga bagay na bago. Ang mundo ay puno ng mga posibilidad!"
"Patuloy na matuto: Ang pagtatapos po ay hindi katapusan ng pag-aaral. Patuloy tayong mag-aral at lumago sa ating mga napiling larangan."
"Ibahagi ang iyong kaalaman: Maging inspirasyon sa iba. Ang iyong karanasan ay maaaring maging gabay para po sa mga susunod na henerasyon."
"Tayo po ay magpatuloy sa pag-abot ng ating mga pangarap at gawing makabuluhan ang bawat pagkakataon. Congratulations sa lahat ng mga nagtapos!" he said.
Congratulations, Ejay!
