Vice President-elect Sara Duterte-Carpio fulfilled her promise to a student who asked her to witness her graduation because her mom is overseas.
In an Instagram post, Pangasinan 3rd District Rep.-elect Baby Arenas shared photos of the incumbent Davao City Mayor attending the graduation ceremony at Virgen Milagrosa University Foundation in San Carlos.
“Ngayong araw po sobrang pinagpala ang Third District sa muling pagbisita sa atin ng ating Vice President-elect Inday Sara Duterte-Carpio,” Arenas said.
“Pero bukod tangi po, ang pinaka maswerte at pinagpala ay si Angel Tayaba na gumraduate with honors kanina sa VMU!”
Arenas said VP-elect Carpio was the one who marched with Angel and awarded her with the medal.
“Ang tumayong guardian niya, kasama niyang nag march, nagsabit ng kanyang medalya at kasama pa niyang mag lunch ay walang iba kundi ang Pangalawang Pangulo ng bansa! Ikaw na Angel!!! Kinabog mo kaming lahat! Congratulations ulit sayo at sa buong family!” she said.
In her Facebook page, VP-elect Carpio also shared some photos.
Angel attended then VP candidate Carpio’s campaign rally in San Carlos wherein she held a placard asking her to be her mom’s proxy.
“Inday wala akong mama sa moving up baka pwede ikaw na lang,” Angel’s placard read.
“Si Angel Mae nakasama natin sa kampanya sa San Carlos, Pangasinan, nagbigay siya ng sulat sa akin nag-explain na kung puwede ako ang umattend sa moving-up ceremony niya dahil OFW ang nanay niya at hindi pa makauwi,” the VP-elect said.
“Sa ating mga graduates, ang tagumpay ay laging sariling sikap natin. Congratulations sa inyo lahat! Mahal natin si Angel Mae!”
