MANILA, Philippines — Singer-actress Geneva Cruz celebrated her graduation from college just a few weeks before marking her 50th birthday.

Geneva shared her college graduation picture from the Philippine Christian University on Instagram alongside a photo of her as a teenager.

"As I approach my golden age in less than a month, I realize that some of my dreams are still coming true. Thirty-three years in the making, but I finally did it!" Geneva wrote in her post's caption.

The artist dedicated the achievement to her nineteen-year-old-self who "had to grow up fast and work hard after choosing to become a young mom."

At the time Geneva had just given birth to son Heaven, her child with ex-husband and fellow musician Paco Arespacochaga. 

"Thank you for being brave and for finally learning to love yourself," Geneva ended, receiving congratulatory messages from the likes of Kim Atienza and her cousin Sunshine Cruz.

Her boyfriend Dean Roxas, a martial artist, also left encouraging words for obtaining her Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree. 

"I think people forget that you were already performing, working, and traveling the world at 12 years old; so this is just icing on the cake for formality since you have achieved so much already," he said.

Also graduating from the Philippine Christian University was Angelica Yulo, mother of two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo.

Angelica posted her graduation photos inside the Philippine International Convention Center where she received her Bachelor of Science in Office Administration degree through the Expanded Tertiary Education Equivalency and Accreditation Program.

"She believed she could, so she did!!! They say it's never too late and today I proved it and this also proves that determination knows no age limit," Angelica said. "This diploma isn't just a paper, it's a testament to my resilience and the refusal to let go of my dreams."
