Comedian Ton Soriano is celebrating a major personal achievement after officially graduating from high school, sharing an emotional message about perseverance that has resonated with many online.

In a heartfelt Facebook post, Soriano reflected on completing his education later in life, encouraging others not to give up on their dreams despite setbacks or delays.

“Akalain mo ’yun… nakatapos din ng high school! Medyo na-late man, pero ang mahalaga, tinapos!”

He went on to remind those who feel left behind that success comes at different times for everyone, saying, “Para sa lahat ng pakiramdam nila ay nahuhuli na sila sa buhay, gusto kong ipaalala na walang deadline ang pangarap. Hindi pare-pareho ang oras ng tagumpay natin. May kanya-kanya tayong laban, may kanya-kanya tayong panahon.”

Soriano also thanked the people who encouraged him to finish his studies, including Jhonnas, whom he credited for pushing him to complete the journey. He likewise expressed his gratitude to his teachers, the Alternative Learning System (ALS), and the Department of Education for helping him reach the milestone.

His inspiring post has since earned praise from supporters, with many congratulating him and sharing how his story serves as a reminder that it is never too late to pursue one’s goals.
