“Tapusin mo pagaaral mo, yan lang ang hindi mananakaw sa’yo. Kapag hindi ka na artista, ‘yan ang panghahawakan mo para hindi ka maliitin ng kahit na sino,” the 20-year-old actor wrote on the caption, quoting his parents.
“Mahirap pagsabayin ang pagaartista at ang pagaaral. Sa schedule, focus, physical and emotional commitment, energy, mental challenges. If only you guys knew. Pero I won’t let that stop me from achieving the things that the Lord has for me,” he added.
Aside from his parents, Valerio also dedicated this success to his sister Mika, girlfriend Jo-anne, relatives, and mentors for helping him out throughout his college ride.
“To my friends, my relatives, my mentors… thank you,” he said.
“A chapter has ended. Here’s to many more to come. Moving forward,” he ended.
In October 2017, Valerio shared a copy of his grades for the first semester of his junior year in college wherein he received the highest grades in all of his subjects.
