I like having new friends. I like sharing, having shared happy moments. I like going back to school. I love the feeling of being a student again. I feel young even if it’s just in my own imagination. And it’s really a discipline. I think I like being disciplined. I like evolving. I like getting better. We’re all not done yet. Until we all die, I think we have to strive to be better in every way we could,” she said.</div><div><br/></div><div>What are her plans now that she has graduated?</div><div><br/></div><div>Korina, who is married to former DILG secretary Mar Roxas, admitted, “I’m not so sure how I can use this. Right now, I’m temporarily departed from my journalism work because I’m married to a politician and as long as his career is alive, then mine is dead I suppose. But I think there are many things I can still do in broadcast. And I think the most important thing is self-enrichment more than practice itself.” </div>
