“Although it wasn’t always a smooth ride, I am truly blessed with all the experiences I had as an undergraduate student including my ‘Asia’s Got Talent’ stint as I not only represented my country but also my beloved university,” Gerphil shared on Instagram.
 
She also acknowledged the love and support of her family, mentors and friends who were part of her latest feat.
 
For her mom: “Thank you for everything. People often say you’re too protective because they always see you with me and sometimes, they see your “mataray” side but what they don’t know is that you are just protecting me.”
 
For her dad who is in Germany: “selbst wenn du in Hamburg bist, bn ich fur die Inspiration noch dankbar (Even if you are in Hamburg, I am still grateful for the inspiration).”
 
For her mentors: “Thank you for unselfishly sharing your knowledge on music and honing my craft.”
 
She ended her post dedicating her graduation to them. She said, “The triumph is not mine but yours!”
