MANILA, Philippines – Singer Darren Espanto finished senior high school (Grade 12) with First Honors, as well as the Achiever Award and the Excellence in Music and Arts Award.

Darren thanked the people who supported him through his journey, acknowledging “those who made me believe that I CAN DO IT.”
“Thank you to my family and most especially to God for the wisdom and guidance,” he said, ending his post with the hashtag #NeverGiveUp.
Darren’s schooling program, The Homeschool of Asia Pacific (HAP), also shared the good news on Facebook.
“Darren finished his Grade 12 homeschool program under HAP’s [United States] school affiliate in Texas named Sanston Academy,” the post wrote, citing that Darren’s high grades qualified him for First Honor.
On being homeschooled, Darren agreed that the setup is “very practical” for people like him.
