Two days before the UAAP women’s volleyball finals, National University stars Bella Belen, Erin Pangilinan, and Sheena Toring were on cloud 9 after officially earning their diplomas during the school’s graduation ceremony on Friday, May 9, at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City.
There, Belen, Pangilinan, and Toring took time to cherish the moment as they proudly marched on like pro models during the commencement exercise, marking the start of a new stage of their lives.
Belen and Pangilinan secured their BS Psychology diplomas, while Toring earned herself a BS Tourism Management certificate.
The three are hoping to give NU another glory before finally leaving their beloved school as they are likely to lead the Lady Bulldogs against the La Salle Lady Spikers on Sunday.
Leo Aringo, a member of NU men’s volleyball team seeking a fight straight title, also graduated.
Oringo, one of the pivotal key players of coach Dante Alinsunurin, is set to lead the Bulldogs against the top-seeded Far Eastern University Tamaraws at 1 p.m.
