This is the hilarious moment a student tripped on stage while graduating - to win a bet with friends.

Jerricho Lopez faked a fall when he was called onto the platform to receive his diploma at Newport Performing Arts Theatre in Manila, the Philippines.

Footage captured by Jerricho's classmate Jazmine Rosse Osorio shows him stumbling on the floor, prompting faculty members to react in shock on August 28.

Guests and students can be heard gasping before laughing at the comical ‘mishap'.

He immediately stood up and continued walking towards the dean, beaming, while the professors laughed and shook his hand.

Jerricho's parents then posed for pictures with him at the side of the stage before coming down.

Jazmine said: 'Two of our classmates offered 100 pesos each if he could trip on stage, which they thought he couldn't do, but it looks like they were proven wrong.'
