Donny Pangilinan recently took to Instagram to share the good news that he, along with his older sister Ella and younger sister Hannah, have all graduated from college.
Donny, famous for being one-half of the hot showbiz love team DonBelle (the other half is Belle Mariano), shared a few snaps showing him and his sisters in black graduation toga.
He wrote this caption: "For those who don’t know, when the pandemic hit over 2 years ago, Ella, Hannah, and myself decided to complete our degrees together (with mine specifying in Leadership).
"And today, despite the busy schedules, many sleepless nights (and fights), we were able to have a joint graduation ceremony thanks to the visit of our professor, who is here in Manila for a couple of days."
He then went on expressing his gratitude to those who helped him and his sisters earn their college diploma: "I would like to thank Dr. Cyndi Romine and everyone of College for Global Deployment in Washington State for this opportunity, and for your patience and guidance."
