In the glimmering world of showbiz, where fame often takes the spotlight over academic achievements, a new trend is emerging: the rise of degree-holding stars who are not just captivating audiences with their talents on screen or stage but also investing time and effort into earning academic credentials.
Kapuso actor Matteo Guidicelli recently joined the stars, whose journey goes beyond the spotlight of showbiz. He earned his bachelor’s degree in marketing management through the Expanded Tertiary Education Equivalency and Accreditation program from the University of San Jose-Recoletos (USJ-R) in Cebu City on Saturday, December 9.
Guidicelli’s choice to pursue a degree alongside his showbiz career may seem unconventional for some, but for him, it was a purposeful decision.
During his graduation speech, he highlighted his desire to formalize his business knowledge and shared the motivation behind this endeavor.
“My only teacher and leader was my father. My dream in life is to be or try to be as good as my father in business, but I said to myself, ‘How would I do this? when you don’t have formal background education?” said Guidicelli in his speech.
Beyond the dazzling lights of fame, the actor stands as a testament to the significance of a degree in an industry that often prioritizes external glamour over internal growth.
He added to the shift of stars that shine with their on-screen talents and excel in obtaining academic credentials.
