Reflecting on his journey, Falcon shared in an ABS-CBN News report, “Para sa akin talaga itong course na ito… And I can say na I am very proud na graduate na si Ejay Falcon!” He began his college studies in 2007 at the University of Manila, pursuing Hotel and Restaurant Management with the aim of working abroad. However, financial challenges led him to stop his studies after a few months and return to his home province of Mindoro.

Falcon’s life took a turn when he entered “Pinoy Big Brother,” which opened doors to his acting career and eventually led to his role in public service. The flexible study program offered by the University of Makati, combining online and face-to-face classes, enabled him to finally complete his degree while serving as Vice Governor.

Falcon emphasized the importance of his educational achievement, stating, “May expectations ‘yung aking mga kababayan… Ito ay isang inspirasyon na lahat ay posible.” He expressed his intention to pursue further studies and hinted at future political plans, though he remained non-committal about the specific position.

The University of Makati’s College of Continuing, Advanced, and Professional Studies (CCAPS) supports professionals like Falcon in balancing their careers and academic pursuits, awarding academic credits for learning gained in the workplace. Falcon acknowledged that his academic commitment required some sacrifices in his showbiz career, but he remains focused on his public service responsibilities and future ambitions.
