Actor and Vice Governor of Oriental Mindoro, Ejay Falcon, can hardly believe that he has 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, Ejay shared that he enrolled in college in 2007 but had to pause his studies at that time.
He said that the trips he made to Manila from their province were all worth it, and now, he proudly considers himself a college graduate.

Since he is also involved in politics, Ejay plans to pursue a Master’s Degree related to his Bachelor’s degree.
In a separate interview with GMA Network, Ejay mentioned that he made a strong effort in his studies to serve as an example to the youth as a public servant.
In his Facebook post last September 2, 2024, Ejay expressed his happiness about this milestone in his life, as well as for others who, like him, have also completed their studies.
“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,” aniya.
“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!” aniya pa.
