Belle Mariano finishes senior high school

Metro Manila, Philippines – Filipina actress Belle Mariano has finally finished her senior high school studies.

Mariano, who had been homeschooled, shared on Instagram her photos wearing a toga.

The 22-year-old actress recalled her experience in juggling her career and academics.

“Before entering the industry, I promised myself and my parents that I’d do my best to live the best of both worlds:pursuing my career and balancing it with school at the same time. Two years ago, I decided to continue pursuing my academics once again,” Mariano said.

“I could say it wasn’t an easy journey (laughing emoji)—all the nights of staying up late, endless cups of coffee (heart emoji), and trying to make it before the deadline. I finally made it (heart emoji)!” she added.

Mariano starred in “Can’t Buy Me Love,” “He’s Into Her,” and “An Inconvenient Love,” together with her on-screen partner Donny Pangilinan.
