Marjorie Barretto Earns College Degree at 51
Actress Marjorie Barretto has fulfilled a long-held dream by graduating from college at the age of 51.
In an Instagram post, Barretto shared photos in her graduation cap and gown, reflecting on how her studies had been set aside for years while she focused on show business, raising her children, public service, and business. She credited her faith for giving her 'the courage to return, the strength to push through, and the joy of crossing this finish line.'
She described having her children witness the milestone as 'the cherry on top' and expressed gratitude to the Philippine Women's University. She also acknowledged actress Ruffa Gutierrez for inspiring her to resume her education.
Barretto encouraged others to pursue deferred aspirations, saying it is 'never too late' to achieve the dreams placed in one's heart. Her son, Leon, proudly remarked that graduating in the same year as his mother was a rare and special moment.
