Jodi Sta. Maria after topping Dean’s List in
her pre-med studies: “Push pa more!”
Jodi Sta. Maria continues to
be an inspiration to her fans as she
successfully ends her school year
with a GPA of 3.800 in her pre-med
studies.
The ABS-CBN actress was
visibly emotional when Southville
International School and Colleges
gave her honor for topping this
semester’s Dean’s List.
On Instagram, the Sana Dalawa
ang Puso lead actress looked back
at her journey as a student.
She wrote, “These past years
of taking up a pre-med course has
molded me, trained me, tested me...
but here I am almost at the end of
the race as I finish my last year of
undergrad studies.
“I’ve played many roles in my
life—an actor, daughter and most
importantly being a mother.
“But being a student had
me seeking out one of the most
important gifts from God—the
chance to pursue my BS Psychology
degree.
“Each subject I had was an
opportunity to develop myself and
achieve new accomplishments.
“With every challenge and
experience, God prepared me and
taught me to run my race without
quitting.
“I have learned to be receptive
to the whole process, more aware of
what I am learning and why.
“I want you to know how exciting
and stimulating an education can
be.
“With a grateful heart, I am
beyond happy to share with you that
I was able to finish this semester with
flying colors.
“Thank you, God for the gift
of perseverance, patience, and the
eagerness to learn and become a
student of life.
“I am just at the start of what will
be an even greater journey, and I am
excited where it will take me.
“One year na lang… push pa
more!”
Jodi then included a Bible verse
from the book of Isaiah.
The Kapamilya star added,
“’But those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
“Parang if there are dreams in
your heart na hindi pa napu-fulfill at
this time, don’t just easily let go of
it because at the proper time, your
dreams will be realized.
“That’s something na hindi po
nawala sa puso at isipan ko, yung
pagme-medisina…
“Partly, I’m being motivated by
my being a mother.
“I really want to put a premium
on education because I have a son,
and I want to be able to set a good
example for him.
“I want to lead by example.” ●

ERRATUM
Reporting Error
Due to a reporting error in the
Philippine Showbiz Today
(issue of Vol. 13, No. 13,
July 8-21, 2018), the phrase
of “Lucky Supermarket
hiring Mr. Jay Razon to
bring as much as 150
Filipino workers to work
on its store which will open
on July 30, 2018,” was mis-
stated. It should have read
“Lucky Supermarket signed
an immigration contract with
Jay Razon, RCIC, to provide
sole immigration services
to potential supermarket
workers.” Also, we also mis-
qouted Mr. Razon, with the
word “bringing some of our
kababayans…, ” which should
have read “I am honored to
have this opportunity to work
hand in hand with Lucky
Supermarket Ltd and have the
chance to provide immigration
services to our kababayans
so they come and work in
Canada.”
