Miss Universe Philippines 2021 Beatrice Luigi Gomez graduates from college
MANILA, Philippines — Former Miss Universe Philippines Beatrice Luigi Gomez has graduated from the University of San Jose-Recoletos in Cebu.
Beatrice earned a mass communication degree, and she delivered a speech as the Most Outstanding Graduate.
"I took the regular program hoping that I would finish my studies along with my batchmates, but God had me take a different path," Beatrice said.
"There were life lessons I had to learn first in order for me to value and earn where I am today. I was already in my last year of college when I had to leave school because of an opportunity that I had to take," she added.
Beatrice admitted that she was discouraged about finishing her degree, but she still wanted to earn it. It led her to prioritize her education after winning Miss Universe Philippines in 2021.
"Had I ever been discouraged? Many times. It was a constant struggle because I only had more year left to finish college. It was like my degree was so close yet so far at hand," she said.
"Even as I was in that competition, I had that urge of wanting my degree done. So the moment I got back from that competition, I focused on what needs to be prioritized and now I am finally here with all of you," she added.
