There are two errors in this banner, but they don’t matter. It’s the thought that counts, right?

Michael Cuevas from University of Santo Tomas passed the Pharmacy Licensure Examinations last week. Of course, his parents were super proud of his achievement.

Michael’s dad was excited to congratulate his son with a special banner. There was only one problem: Michael did not actually study farming and agriculture.

Oh, and also, who is Michel?

Still, you have to agree that it was a very touching gesture from Michael’s dad.

“He said he only asked someone to do it via a phone call, so I guess that’s where the typo came in,” Michael told Coconuts Manila.

Michael’s dad had the banner made as soon as he found his son’s name on the list of passers.

“It didn’t even bother me. I just felt happy about the tarp and didn’t even mind typos,” Michael said. He added that his dad is aware that the photo of the farmacy banner has gone viral.

In the end, Michael got the banner he deserves. His dad had another one made as soon as he was informed of the errors.

Congratulations, Michel! We mean, Michael!
