The singer opened up about her unusual student journey during an interview on “Oh My Gan!,” where she discussed how she managed to balance her studies with her career, marriage, motherhood, and pregnancies.
Quinto recently graduated from Immaculada Concepcion College with a Bachelor of Business Administration, major in Marketing Management.
Her decision to return to school was deeply connected to her late mother, Mama Bob, who had repeatedly encouraged her to continue her education before her death in November 2020.

“Lagi niyang sinasabi sa’kin, ‘Gie, magtuloy ka ng pag-aaral mo pag kaya ng oras’,” Quinto recalled.
Her mother even encouraged her to ask her manager for help in finding a school that would allow her to continue studying.
Quinto had initially put her education on hold when singing became her source of income and a way to support her mother. After joining amateur singing competitions and eventually entering showbiz, her career took priority.
Following Mama Bob’s passing, however, Quinto decided to fulfill the dream she had promised to pursue.
She went back to school in 2021, the same year she discovered she was pregnant with her first child, Sylvio. By 2024, she was still juggling her studies while pregnant with her daughter, Sylvia, and filming the series “What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim.”
Her graduation was initially expected to happen the previous year, but incomplete requirements delayed the milestone by another year.
What made her accomplishment even more remarkable was the fact that she managed to keep her return to school private.
“Hindi niya alam. Kahit si Nonrev hindi niya alam,” she said while referring to her husband.
For nearly four years, Quinto reportedly waited until she had finished her work and her husband and children were already asleep before working on her school requirements.
“Pag-uwi ko ng bahay, pagtulog na ang mga bata, at tulog na rin si Nonrev, saka ako babalik. Saka ako pupunta sa isang kwarto,” she shared.
When Nonrev asked what she was doing, Quinto said she simply told him that she needed to study a song.
“Ang sinasabi ko sa kanya, ‘Wait lang, babe, mag-aaral lang ako ng kanta, ha?’”
Only her manager knew the real reason behind her late-night routine. Quinto explained that she wanted to surprise her family and did not want to put extra pressure on herself if she failed to complete the degree.
After finally receiving her diploma, Quinto reflected on the person who inspired her to finish the journey.
“Malamang kasama ko talaga ang Mama habang nasa stage ako na tinatanggap ko 'yung diploma ko,” she said.
For Quinto, the achievement serves as a reminder that setting aside a dream does not necessarily mean abandoning it forever.
“Minsan may mga pangarap talaga tayo na kailangan natin maisantabi dahil kailangan nating tuparin 'yung isang pangarap natin. Pero hindi ibig sabihin nun kakalimutan natin 'yung isang pangarap natin,” she said.
“Baka kailangan lang natin bigyan ng time. So pag natupad natin itong isang pangarap natin, pwede nating balikan ’to anytime.”
Angeline Quinto is an acclaimed Filipino singer, actress, and television personality who rose to fame after winning the reality talent competition Star Power: Sharon's Search for the Next Female Pop Superstar in 2011. Widely celebrated as the Philippines' "Queen of Teleserye Theme Songs," she has delivered countless iconic drama soundtracks while also earning praise for her versatile roles in romantic comedy films and television series.
In another report, Angeline Quinto introduced “Sais Ang Pangarap,” a nationwide scholarship initiative created as part of her 15th year in showbiz. Through the program, the singer plans to select six qualified students who will be granted full scholarships for four years at her alma mater. Interested applicants are required to complete an online application and provide a one-minute video as part of the selection process. Angeline said the project is her way of giving back and extending support to young people pursuing their education.
Meanwhile, Angeline Quinto is gearing up for “AQUINSE,” her 15th anniversary concert scheduled for August 22 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. According to ABS-CBN News, the singer said the show will go beyond performances of her popular songs, as she also plans to share personal stories and showcase her dancing skills, which she considers her first talent before singing. Angeline expressed appreciation to the supporters who have accompanied her throughout her career and helped her reach the milestone. Singer Erik Santos is also set to join the celebration as a special guest.
