Singer-comedian Ton Soriano has proven that dreams have no deadlines after graduating from high school.

On social media, the internet personality inspired netizens by sharing photos from his graduation ceremony in Imus, Cavite.

Along with the photos was a heartfelt message reflecting on the milestone.

"Akalain mo 'yun… nakatapos din ng high school! Medyo na-late man, pero ang mahalaga, tinapos!" he wrote.

The stand-up comedian also took the opportunity to encourage people who may feel left behind or uncertain about pursuing their dreams.

"Para sa lahat ng pakiramdam nila ay nahuhuli na sila sa buhay, gusto kong ipaalala na walang deadline ang pangarap. Hindi pare-pareho ang oras ng tagumpay natin. May kanya-kanya tayong laban, may kanya-kanya tayong panahon," he said.

"Huwag mong ikumpara ang Chapter 2 mo sa Chapter 20 ng iba. Ang mahalaga, Kahit mabagal, kahit may pahinga, kahit ilang beses kang nadapa—bumangon ka pa rin. Dahil sa huli, hindi ang bilis ang maaalala ng mga tao, kundi ang katotohanang hindi ka sumuko."

He then added another reminder to keep moving forward no matter what it takes.

"Kung may pangarap ka pa, simulan mo. Kung nasimulan mo na, ipagpatuloy mo. Darating din ang araw na ikaw naman ang magsasabing, 'Akalain mo 'yun… kinaya ko rin.'"

Ton also thanked everyone who supported him in completing his secondary education, including his family and his fiancé, Jhonnas Desigaño.

Ton's latest achievement comes months after announcing his engagement to Jhonnas in March.

Aside from creating humorous content online, the stand-up comedian also performs at Vice Ganda's comedy club in Quezon City.
