Ronnie Liang successfully added another distinction to his name as he completed his doctorate.

The Sparkle artist shared on Instagram a photo of his graduation picture as he finished his degree in Doctor of Philosophy in Development Administration, major in Security Development Administration, at the Philippine Christian University.

In his caption, Ronnie expressed how his newest achievement is more than just earning another title but is about his "strong belief in the value and power of higher education."

"There were moments I wanted to give up, but knowing how this journey could inspire others, especially the young generation, kept me going," Ronnie mused.

Ronnie added that his drive "extends beyond politics and personal ambition."

"I focus on service and love- not for myself but for others and our country in whatever capacity I can contribute. My aspiration is to have a community that supports each other instead of fighting with each other, a country that stands united, not divided, and a world that lives in peace and not at war," he continued.

Ronnie also highlighted how he wants to use his education and influence to "inspire others to become more responsible and accountable citizens, more patriotic, more passionate in whatever they do, and finish what they have started, no matter how small the impact may seem to others and regardless of the challenges and naysayers."

Ronnie concluded his post by thanking everyone part of his journey, including his family, friends, and mentors.

Aside from his doctorate, Ronnie is also a licensed pilot and a military reservist.
