Social media was amused by the funny post of Pel Albert Mendador, 26, from Cavite, featuring his "sad face" look both as a student and even after he graduated from college.
“After how many years naka-graduate din! OK na po ako,” he captioned on his Facebook post.
In an interview with several media outlets, Pel shared that the earlier viral photo of him was taken when he was a student in the Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Technology program at Holy Infant College in 2018.
“Trademark ko na kasi ‘yan na kapag nagpapa-picture, lagi akong nagpo-pose na malungkot tapos ipo-post ko,” he said.
“‘Yang picture ko po na may hawak na stethoscope is after ng practicals namin sa school way back 2018 and pagod talaga ako and may hang-over pa from the night before.”
“‘Di ko rin alam bakit pinapakinggan ko puso ko that time siguro, nag-zone out na lang rin ako noon. At that time pini-picturan na pala ako ng mga tropa ko from the other side ng room gamit din cellphone ko.”
“So wala ako idea pa no’n, nakita ko lang ‘yong pic na ‘yon sa phone ko pagkauwi ko so pinost ko siya for laughs sa Facebook ko,” he explained.
He said that he is no longer "sad face" because he is now able to do what he wants and is earning a living. He worked as a Senior Radiologic Technologist Intern at United Shalom Hospital Tacloban as well as at Jose R. Reyes Memorial Medical Center.
