Ronnie Liang is now a doctorate degree holder!
On Instagram, the Sparkle star posted a photo of him in his toga as he proudly shared that he has earned his Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree in Development Administration, major in Security Development Administration at the Philippine Christian University (PCU).
“My heart is full of gratitude and happiness today. I have achieved my Ph.D. in Development Administration, major in Security Development Administration, at PCU,” Ronnie began.
For Ronnie, the recent achievement isn't just about having another title or degree under his name but about his belief in the power of education.
“There were moments I wanted to give up, but knowing how this journey could inspire others, especially the young generation, kept me going,” he shared.
He also said that when people would ask him if his motivation is political and if he had plans to enter politics, he would say in jest, "Yes, for President."
"However, kidding aside, my drive extends beyond politics and personal ambition. I focus on service and love- not for myself but for others and our country in whatever capacity I can contribute."
According to Ronnie, he aims to have a supportive community and "a country that stands united, not divided, and a world that lives in peace and not at war.”
“Whatever this accomplishment is worth, I want to use my education, influence, and voice to inspire others to become more responsible and accountable citizens, more patriotic, more passionate in whatever they do, and finish what they have started, no matter how small the impact may seem to others and regardless of the challenges and naysayers," he said.
He also thanked his family who serves as his strength, his friends and mentors who are his inspiration, and everyone else who has been part of his journey.
“This achievement is as much yours as it is mine. I could not have done it without you,” he said.” Maraming salamat po sa inyong lahat. To GOD be all the honor, glory, and praise! I love you, and thank you, Lord!”
Ronnie started his doctorate degree in 2023 after earning his Master's degree in Management with a Major in National Security and Administration from the same university in 2022.
In 2021, he received his private pilot license, making his dream of flying a plane a reality.
Congratulations, Ronnie!
