These Rhea Santos pics show why she was a campus crush

With Rhea Santos taking the next chapter of her life in Canada, her previous GMA Network show "Tunay Na Buhay" is paying tribute to the longtime Kapuso host.

On its Facebook page, the show posted a pair of photos of Rhea that showed how she was just a headturner during her campus days.

"Tunay na Buhay" posted throwback high school and college photos of their former host Rhea Santos.

The photos were posted just two days after she flew to Canada.

The first photo showed a younger Rhea in high school at St. Scholastica's Academy of Marikina, while the second was from when she was college in St. Paul University Quezon City, where she later graduated magna cum laude with an AB Mass Communications degree.

Rhea has worked with GMA-7 as a TV host and broadcaster for 19 years. She announced that she is starting a new chapter of her life with her family in Canada on July 31.

She will also be studying Broadcast and Online Journalism at the British Columbia Institute of Technology.

The former Kapuso host tweeted that she has already arrived in Canada on Tuesday afternoon.
