Actress Bea Binene gave fans a glimpse of her playful side as she rallied behind her younger sister, Benice, before the University of the Philippines College Admission Test (UPCAT).

In a lighthearted video shared on Facebook, Bea carefully sharpened the pencil that Benice planned to use for the exam while jokingly giving it a humorous “blessing.” With a smile, she playfully recited words of encouragement, hoping the pencil would help bring good fortune during one of the country’s most competitive college entrance tests.

The amusing moment quickly caught the attention of netizens, many of whom related to the family’s mix of excitement, nerves, and optimism before the big day. Others praised Bea for finding a fun way to show her unwavering support for her sister.

While the mock ritual was all in good fun, the message behind it was clear: confidence, encouragement, and a little laughter can go a long way when facing a major milestone.

As thousands of aspiring students take the UPCAT, Bea’s cheerful show of sisterly love has become a reminder that emotional support from family can be just as valuable as hours of preparation.
