Former beauty queen Venus Raj receives master's degree



Miss Universe 2010 4th runner-up Ma. Venus Raj received her master's degree during commencement rites at the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City last June 25

"Nagbunga na ang apat na taong pagsisikap. Sa mga kapwa ko magtatapos, isang taos-pusong pagbati sa inyo. #ThankYouJesusForSustainingMe," said Raj as she uploaded a selfie on Instagram after graduation.

"To those who became instruments in making this journey possible, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. I can never boast of this moment, this is all by the grace of God.

"Sa lahat ng magsisipagtapos, let us still consider ourselves students of this life. Never stop learning. When we stop learning, we stop growing. There are far more lessons that we have to discover. Don't be afraid of the process, God is with you.  #GodIsFaithful #HeIsAble," Raj added.

The 29-year-old beauty queen from Camarines Sur completed her master's degree in Community Development.


Lawyer Nad Bronce of the Aces and Queens beauty camp attended the ceremony as he showed support to her latest academic achievement.

Bronce wrote on IG: "As a teacher and as one who thrives in an academic environment, I feel proud and elated that my daughters take their education seriously.

"(Whenever a trainee introduces herself as a student, I immediately call her attention to the rigors of pageantry and tell her to prioritize her education first.)

"Today, I am proud of my students who have graduated from UP. I am also immensely proud of my beloved daughter Venus, who never stopped at learning, and in the process, continued to transform herself for the better.


"More importantly, she has strengthened her faith, and made it a foundation of her life, as she has helped others build their own. In fact, her very thesis reflects on this transformation: spirituality as
a pillar of disaster resilience.

"I am confident that Venus will blaze new trails and I am praying that she will continue to help and enlighten others. To you anak @onlyvenusraj, your MA may not glisten as much as a crown on your
head, but certainly, it feels and sounds as glorious. Congratulations! Padayon! ❤️❤️❤️ #VenusRaj," said Bronce.

In college, Raj obtained her bachelor's degree in communication arts at the Bicol University in Albay where she graduated cum laude. - ROBERT REQUINTINA
