Actress Danica Sotto could not hold back her pride about her son’s graduation and shared with the public some moments from the online ceremony.

Sotto gave fans a ringside view of her son Jean Michel S. Pingris’ online commencement exercises in her Instagram post yesterday, Oct. 25. Her son moves up to grade seven.

“I know it’s not the ideal setup because of the pandemic but we are still [so] grateful to God. He has always been with us through all the ups and downs. He is faithful indeed,” she said.

Although it was only done online, her son’s graduation was replete with the trimmings of a party-like atmosphere. They had balloons and a “you did it” sign in the background.

Throughout the ceremony, Jean Michel was also with his dad, basketball player Marc Pingris, who was cheering for him. The basketball player clapped his hands, pumped his fist and flashed a thumbs up sign when his son won an award.
