Despite long-standing network wars and a seemingly cutthroat environment, the local entertainment industry is smaller than we think. Several of our favorite celebrities actually share the same alma mater and can probably relate with each other in terms of their respective college cultures. Below, we list down stars who went to the same colleges:
Clara Benin and Gabbi Garcia
Homegrown singer-songwriter Clara Benin and actress-singer Gabbi Garcia both went to MINT College. Clara took up Music Business Production. Gabbi, on the other hand, took up Business Management.
Abra and Alex Gonzaga
Hip-hop artist Abra, whose real name is Raymond Abracosa, took up Management at the University of Asia and the Pacific. TV host and YouTube star Alex Gonzaga also went to the same school and took up Child Development and Education.
