Actress-beauty queen Ruffa Gutierrez is already well on her way earning her master's degree.
She just finished college, graduating with a bachelor's degree in communication arts from the Philippine Women's University.
Asked why she's taking it to another level, she related, "You know, kung sakaling gusto kong mag-quit sa pagiging artista ko, I can do other things because I'm now knowledgable."
Finishing college at the of 48, Ruffa couldn't be happier.
“I’m very excited, I’m very proud. Talagang graduate na ako. I’m really a degree holder. I realize that you can graduate at any age," she said.
"For me you know, education is very important. Gusto ko magsilbing inspirasyon sa mga anak ko, for Lorin and Venice. As a single mom, I worked so hard. Nag-stop ako after high school kasi I made the most of my opportunities that were coming my way back then. But it’s never too late to go back to school.”
