The University of Melbourne is recognized as Australia's top university and ranks 13th globally in the 2025 QS World University Rankings.
While pursuing her studies, Magui also served as a research associate in Applied International Political Economy at the School of Social and Political Sciences.
Her Instagram post included photos of her clad in her graduation gown.
In the caption, Magui wrote (published as is): "[emojis] So blessed!! Eternally grateful to my pillars beyond words—my family for loving and encouraging me endlessly; and my friends who’ve kept me grounded. I hold you all very close to my heart."
Magui dedicated her recent achievement to her late friend, Sparkle talent and aspiring actor Andrei Sison, who passed away two years ago.
Her graduation coincided closely with the second anniversary of Andrei's passing.
Reflecting on Andrei's influence on her accomplishments, Magui said, "We did it, Drei," accompanied by two white heart emojis.
Andrei, along with his friends Paolo Bueza and Arman Velasco, tragically lost their lives in a car accident near New Intramuros Village on Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City, on March 24, 2023.
Sparkle talent Josh Ford, now a housemate on Pinoy Big Brother: Collab, was the sole survivor of the accident.
