ASIA'S GOT TALENT : GERPHIL FLORES GRADUATES CUM LAUDE FROM UP DILIMAN

Asia's Got Talent Season 1 Finalist Gerphil Geraldine Flores graduated cum laude from the country's premiere university, the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City. Classical singer Flores earned the degree of Bachelor of Music and a Diploma on Creative Performing Musical Arts from the university's College of Music.

Flores was judge David Foster's golden buzzer act and placed third in the show's finale.

These posts can be seen from Flores' Instagram account :

Lord, thank you! I can finally harvest what I've planted since 2010. In a span of 6 years, I am overjoyed to announce that I finished two degrees (Diploma in Creative Performing Musical Arts & Bachelor of Music- Cum Laude) at The College of Music, University of the Philippines Diliman. 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. Of course, none of these beautiful experiences would have happened without the undying love and support of my family, mentors and friends. 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. Dad, selbst wenn du in Hamburg bist, bin ich für die Inspiration noch dankbar. To my mentors, thank you for unselfishly sharing your knowledge in music and for honing my craft. This triumph is not mine but yours! #UniversityOfThePhilippines #GerphilFlores

I attended our university graduation ceremony today at UP Diliman. Sitting under the heat of the sun for almost two hours was worth it, because towards the end of the program, we all experienced the switching of the UP Sablay from the right shoulder to the left shoulder. This is similar to the moving of the tassel of the academic cap which means you are officially an alumnus of the university! Congrats to all the graduates!!! Maraming salamat UP!!! 🎓🎓🎓#ThankYouLord
