Over 8,000 law graduates taking the Bar exams
A TOTAL of 8,245 law graduates are taking the Bar examination to be held on the four Sundays of November at the University of Santo Tomas, the Supreme Court announced. The number of this year’s examinees is lower than the 8,701 in 2018, where there were only 1,800 passers. The SC will deploy 10 buses to transport examinees to UST at 4:30 a.m. and will leave at 5 p.m. The pick-up points are: Quezon City Memorial Circle, Park and Ride in Lawton, Manila, Supreme Court Compound, EDSA Magallanes Flyover, Greenbelt and Glorietta Ayala Center, and Marikina Sports Complex. In case there is flooding, SC commuter vans will pick up candidates at each examination building to bring them to the area where the buses are parked. Senior Associate Justice Estela M. Perlas-Bernabe is the chairperson of the 2019 Bar Examination Committee. — Vann Marlo M. Villegas
