Venus Raj Earns Her Master's Degree at UP

Big Congratulations to Maria Venus Raj! She just earned her Master's Degree in Community Development at the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City. Miss Universe 2010 4th runner-up Maria Venus Raj has brought the Philippines once again to the Miss Universe Top 5 after an 11-year drought.

In 2008, she obtained her Bachelor's degree in Communication Arts, Major in Journalism, at Bicol University in Albay, with Latin honors (Cum Laude).

Raj earned a Master's degree in Community Development to extend a helping hand to more remote places in the Philippines.

To those who became instruments in making this journey possible, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. I can never boast of this moment, this is all by the grace of God. Sa lahat ng magsisipagtapos, let us still consider ourselves students of this life. Never stop learning. When we stop learning, we stop growing. There are far more lessons that we have to discover. Don't be afraid of the process, God is with you. #GodIsFaithful #HeIsAble #InMyWeaknessHeIsStrong
