The Quezon City 5th district representative proudly announced the good news on social media by posting his graduation photo.

“Mommy, natupad ko ang pangako ko sa inyo. I wish you lived to see this promise fulfilled. Maraming salamat sa inspirasyon, sa guidance at sa disiplina.

“Nakaka-senti ang pagtatapos at hindi nabawasan ang excitement kahit virtual ang graduation rites. Excited akong magbihis at isuot ang sablay.

He added, “'Di matanggal ang aking malaking ngiti kahit ang kaharap ko ay laptop at hindi ko katabi ang aking mga kaklase. And in the midst of all the emotions, I can't help but reflect on the significance of the moment.”

Alfred pondered on the difficulties of juggling studies with his other commitments at these highly uncertain times because of the pandemic.

“But we know that nothing good comes easy,” Alfred said.
