The moment unfolded in a video shared on Moya’s TikTok page on Sunday, November 30, 2025, where the graduate appeared shocked as Moya approached him with a bouquet before breaking into his signature dance.
The student, who had been walking from the graduation square with classmates, initially looked confused but quickly lit up with a smile as he tried to follow Moya’s moves. Confetti filled the air as more students and families gathered to watch the heartfelt gesture. The surprise grew even more meaningful when it was revealed that Moya had been sent by the graduate’s partner to honour his resilience throughout his long academic journey.
