In a reel posted on his official Instagram account, Quezon City councilor Alfred Vargas made a number of women giggle at the University of the Philippines-Diliman when he randomly gave roses on Valentine’s Day. 

The 41-year-old actor-politician took to Instagram to share his sweet gesture. 

Vargas was enrolling in a master’s program on urban planning at the state university that day. UP Diliman’s School of Urban and Regional Planning or UP SURP is the only graduate school in the country offering the program.

Vargas, who served as a Quezon City congressman for years, earned his bachelor’s degree in Management Economics from Ateneo de Manila University and a master’s degree in Public Administration from the University of the Philippines-Diliman.

“After finishing my master’s in public ad at UPNCPAG in 2021, I took the college entrance exam last year naman (2022). I passed it, and I am now pursuing my Ph.D. in UPSURP (UP School of Urban and Regional Planning) to become an urban planner,” he said.

“It’s a long journey that will probably take me 4-5 years because I’ll first have to get my urban planning diploma for the first two years, then master’s for urban planning for another year, then my Ph.D. for another 1-2 years, depending on my schedule,” he added.

Vargas admitted that he loves being a student again. I’ve gets a lot of insights and wisdom from his professors and classmates which he can apply as a public servant. 

“Learning is an everyday process. It should never end. I think I’ll continue to study, study, and study until I’m a senior citizen,” Vargas stated.

Vargas feel so lucky to have had the chance to study at two of the best universities in our country.

“I finished AB Management Economics in Ateneo de Manila as my undergrad. Then finished my MPA in UPNCPAG. And I will do everything I can to get that Ph.D. from UPSURP in the next few years,” he ended.
