[Aleancelo]

Thank God na nakapasa ako in just one take (medyo matagal na rin iyon). Yung mga kaibigan ko na minalas nuon, sabi nila, ang feeling nila ay masahol pa daw sa nabasted ng sampung babae. Ganun kasakit ang feeling kapag minalas ka sa Bar.

[ronelio]

Bar exams lang ang pino post ang names ng mga examinees sa manila bulletin, usually friday before the first sunday of the exams. im just wondering why the name of UP law valedictorian (henry aguda) wasnt there.! why kaya???

[ronelio]

first time ata na husband-and-wife team ang top 2 grads ng UP Law! pero di ata nag take ang hubby coz wala ang name nya sa list of examinees which was published in the manila bulletin on friday before the first sunday of the exams

Malamang di na makatulog yung candidates... Ganyan din yung exact feeling ko exactly 2 years ago... Our own bar results were released on April 3, 2007... parang kelan lang...

Anyway, GOOD LUCK to the barristers, especially those from ATENEO DE MANILA... :)

One Big Blue Fight!!! :)

1,300 lawyers pass bar exams

By Norman Bordadora
Philippine Daily Inquirer

Posted date: April 03, 2009

MANILA, Philippines – (UPDATE) Some 1,300 law graduates passed the 2008 bar examinations, Philippine Daily Inquirer and INQUIRER.net sources at the Supreme Court said Friday.

The figure is more than 20 percent of the 6,364 who took and finished the four-Sunday examinations in September last year.

INQUIRER.net sources who asked not to be identified because they were not authorized to talk to media said the passing rate was also lowered from 75 percent to 72 percent in the subjects that were taken but was not clear whether this was applicable to all or some of them.

In the 2007 bar examinations, 1,289 out of 5,626 examinees passed for a passing percentage of 22.91 percent.

The highest passing percentage since 2000 was the 31.61 percent posted in 2004.

Formal announcement of the results is expected at 4 p.m. on Friday shortly after the committee on the bar examinations finishes “decoding” the answer sheets and matches them with the names of the examinees.

1,310 pass bar exams; San Sebastian stude is topnotcher
04/03/2009 | 08:19 PM


MANILA, Philippines — Judy Lardizabal, a law student from the San Sebastian College, emerged on top of the 1,310 examinees who passed the 2008 bar examinations.

The exam has a 20.58 percent passing rate, lower than last year’s 22.91 percent. A record 6,364 examinees from 109 law schools took the test in September 2008.

Lardizabal who got a score of 85.70 percent is followed by Mylene Amerol Macumbal of the Mindanao State University with 85.65 percent.

Third is Oliver Baclay Jr of the Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) with 85.6 percent, followed by Majesty Eve Jala of Ateneo; Elizabeth Lizeralde of the University of the Philippines; Michael Macapagal also of UP.

Denisse Dy and April Love Regis both from ADMU are tied at seventh place, followed by Kristine Joy Tan of ADMU.

Shirley Velasquez of UP and Gian Jacob of San Beda are on the ninth spot. Vanessa Raymundo of San Beda Collage completes the top 10.

The Supreme Court earlier said the release of the results would be at 4 p.m. but later moved it to 6 p.m. “Nagde-decode pa kasi at after the decoding, immediately after, ilalabas na natin iyan [We still have to decode the results before releasing them]," SC spokesman Midas Marquez said earlier in the afternoon.

The Philippine Bar Examination is the national licensure exam for the admission to the practice of law. The 2008 bar examinations committee was chaired by Associate Justice Dante Tinga

The list of names is also displayed at the Supreme Court premises and was flashed on wide screens at the SC front yard near the Padre Faura entrance.

For people who wanted to spare themselves from braving through the thick crowd that would flock to the Supreme Court building in Manila, the court has put up since Friday noon a Web site where the names of the passers are displayed.

However, Dave Uy III, one of the thousands of hopefuls, seeing whether or not his name is on the coveted list was more important.

“Gusto ko ako talaga ako makakakita ng name ko talaga. Ito na. Pinaghirapan ko po ito [I want to see my name myself. This is it. I’ve worked hard for this]," he told GMA News.

Even Dory Panis trooped to the Supreme Court to view the results – even if she was not an examinee. “Hindi makapunta anak ko. Natatakot siya at stressed na stressed. Magdamag siyang hindi makatulog [My child – who does not want to go here – is so stressed, afraid, and was unable to sleep]."


108th time

The 108th bar exams were conducted over four Sundays of September 2008 at the De La Salle University in Taft Avenue, Manila.

In determining the average, subjects in the examinations are given the following relative weights: Political and International Law, 15%; Labor and Social Legislation, 10%; Civil Law, 15%; Taxation, 10%; Mercantile Law, 15%; Criminal Law, 10%; Remedial Law, 20%; and Legal Ethics and Practical Exercises, 5%, for a total of 100%.

The 2008 bar exams marked the fourth time that the 'five-strike' rule was observed.

The rule limits to five the maximum number of times a candidate may take what is reputed to be the most grueling government-administered test, was implemented.

[Cyberspacebabe]

TOP 10 BARRISTERS:

Lardizabal who got a score of 85.70 percent is followed by Mylene Amerol Macumbal of the Mindanao State University with 85.65.

Third is Oliver Baclay Jr of the Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) with 85.6, followed by Majesty Eve Jala of Ateneo (85.5); Ma. Elizabeth Lizeralde of the University of the Philippines (85.4); Michael Macapagal also of UP (84.15).

Denisse Dy and April Love Regis both from ADMU are tied at seventh place (84), followed by Kristine Joy Tan of ADMU (83.8).

Shirley Velasquez of UP and Gian Jacob of San Beda are on the ninth spot (83.75). Vanessa Raymundo of San Beda Collage (83.7) completes the top 10.

---------------
Kahit di no. 1 taga Ateneo like last year, I'm still very happy because we have the most placers in the Top 10.

One Big Blue Fight everyone! :)

[blue&green]

5 Ateneans are in the top 10. 3 from UP, 2 from San Beda and 1(#2) from Mindanao State University.

[ronelio]

last year, husband and wife team ang valedictorian at salutatorian ng UP Law. wala talaga sa list of examinees which was published in the manila bulletin last year ang name ng husband-valedictorian so wala rin sya sa list of passers. pumasa naman ang wife-salutatorian

[KuyaDanny]

12 ang nasa top 10 huh!

OK, I saw an amended list this morning. Nine of twelve in the "Top 10" are women.

[pusongbaste]

Kelan po ilalabas ang passing percentage ng bawat schools?

[Altwegg]

Congratulations to those who passed especially to my co-resident's sister who graduated from UST Law.

Sama-sama sana nating itayo ang ating 'matatag' na republika.

:lol:

[tapangusa]

Grabe talga yung Big three na law schools.hindi nawawalan ng topnotchers. A law program which is the envy of all lawschools in the philippines. The first two topnothchers(congrats to them) are sheer individual talent, but we shall see kung gaano kataas ang passing percentage ng mga schools nila in the coming days. Pero iba pa rin yung ADMU SBC UP lawschools. Baste is a promising lawschool after hiring the SBC "tempest" profs, these profs are getting the last laugh now .

[ironhide08]

Congrats sa Baste, another Placer sa Top 10, back to back, Number 1 pa this year.

Hehe, malakas sakin ang Baste, dyan ako sa simbahan nila nagpa bless ng mga pencil at nagsimba bago mag board exams, kaya pumasa ko sa dalawang board exams ko.

sana magtuloy tuloy na success ng law school nyo! *okay*

[lifeline20]

MAGIS!!! :)

[RougePercer]

Congrats ADMU, UP, Baste, and MSU at sa lahat ng pumasa.

Galing ng Baste!

[bleargh]

congrats sa lahat ng passers!

[ronelio]

UP alumna rin naman ang bar topnothcher! She took BS Social Work (cum laude) sa Diliman campus. Now the question is: Dis she take UP LAE?

[KuyaDanny]

I wonder if it matters now.

[the_misfit]

I wonder if it matters now.

haha! oo nga..eh ano naman kung sa UP s'ya nag-undergrad? basta San Sebastian Law ang naghubog sa kanya para maging bar topnotcher..wala nang dapat kuwestiyunin patungkol sa topnotcher..*okay*

[Ashlars]

It hardly matters.

The bar topnotcher is from San Sebastian. Why can't other people just accept that fact?

Congrats to Atty. Lardizabal and to all those who passed. May all of you become honest in your practice and dealings. :)

[joy_taurus_12]

You're right KD. Balibaliktarin man ang result, it's still Baste's honor not any other school.

We should learn to give credit where it's due. Just like last year, Ateneo's Ona was an undergraduate of UP thus some people from UP were claiming that it was still UP. But then again, UP's 2nd placer was an undergraduate of Ateneo too.

Just for the record, the topnotcher this year did recognize Baste as the school that really helped her get through. She didn't say it was UP that made her top the exams.

[jeffxii]

UP alumna rin naman ang bar topnothcher! She took BS Social Work (cum laude) sa Diliman campus. Now the question is: Dis she take UP LAE?

last year UP BAA alumna! sana nag-stay na lang sila sa UP para 3 years in a row ang topnotcher is from UP!;)

anyways, congrats pa rin sa SSC!*okay* galing!:)

[benj20_ph]

UP alumna rin naman ang bar topnothcher! She took BS Social Work (cum laude) sa Diliman campus. Now the question is: Dis she take UP LAE?

sorry but the truth is, when it comes to the Bar Exams, a topnotcher's undergrad school rarely matter.

unless the topnotcher is an undergrad and law proper almunus/alumna of the same university like Atty. Arlene Maneja, 2002 bar exam 1st placer, who obtained latin honor of MCL for both AB-Legal Mgmt. and Llb. degrees in UST. :D

anyways, in race for prestige and honor amongst the Big 3 LS's, AdMU simply owned UP-D and SBC in the 2008 Bar Exams. :bop:

pero the real winners were SSC-R and MSU! *okay*

[the_misfit]

last year UP BAA alumna! sana nag-stay na lang sila sa UP para 3 years in a row ang topnotcher is from UP!;)

anyways, congrats pa rin sa SSC!*okay* galing!:)

ang tanong, pareho lang ba ang itinuturo sa UP and Ateneo Law? isiping mabuti bago i-assume na magiging topnotcher pa rin s'ya kung sa UP Law tumuloy. ;)

[infophalanx]

@ blue&green, kuya danny, lifeline, fqtprt

thank you guys/gals! :D

@ cyberspacebabe

i also went to the thanksgiving mass! im just wondering why this time there's no special mass for the bar passers... :confused:

@ tootsiebibi

congrats din sa mga taga DLSU-FEU! special mention to Mike and Tom! Sulit pag review nyo sa Ateneo hehe.. *okay*

[joy_taurus_12]

3 years in a row sana? Bakit Si Malimban ba ng University of Cordilleras who topped the 2006 BAR examinations ay UP undergrad din ba?

[ironhide08]

UP alumna rin naman ang bar topnothcher! She took BS Social Work (cum laude) sa Diliman campus. Now the question is: Dis she take UP LAE?

No offense, but it's really an unintelligent question. :down:

[joshua3]

Ganda ng sinabi ni bar topnotcher regarding her constant prayer prior to the exams. Sabi nya she made a deal with the Lord that if He makes her pass the bar, she will become a good lawyer at hindi sya tutulad sa iba [yung masasama].

God bless you more! May the good Lord guide you always. Same prayers kay bar 2nd placer who hails from Iligan [MSU's first ever topnotcher]. Sige na nga para sa lahat na rin ng pumasa yung prayer ko ;). Sana wag nyo ng dagdagan ang sobrang daming langyang abogado sa lipunan.

Mabuhay kayong lahat! *okay*

[guinevere_79]

last year, husband and wife team ang valedictorian at salutatorian ng UP Law. wala talaga sa list of examinees which was published in the manila bulletin last year ang name ng husband-valedictorian so wala rin sya sa list of passers. pumasa naman ang wife-salutatorian


The husband-valedictorian did not take the 2008 Bar Exam.

[fedor]

congrats sa mga bagong abogado!!



Go San Beda Fight!!

[sreenat]

^ for the top notchers, yes. but i wtill have to see the passing percentage of those mentioned schools compared with the big 3.

if you haven't noticed, topnotchers are conclusively not the gauge for a school to be considered the best. the passing percentage is.

[Cyberspacebabe]

@ blue&green, kuya danny, lifeline, fqtprt

Oo nga eh... pinagsabay na, unlike in previous years. Tingin ko dahil super-late na nung Friday ni-release and tamang-tama the next day may regular mass (Saturday afternoon)... Either way, what matters is your batch did a VERY GOOD JOB... Congrats to you and your batchmates!!! *okay*

Btw, any news sa passing percentage natin? (Overall/first-timers only/repeaters only.) I'm hoping we'd consistently top the passing percentage like we have been continually doing in the Top 10. :love:

1 BIG BLUE FIGHT!!! :bop: --> Chief Justice CSB

Fr. M mentioned the stats during the special Mass. 25 did not make it out of 170..so 85% passing rate for the ATENEO

[Cyberspacebabe]

^ Hmmm... di ko napansin na binanggit nya yun.... dun kasi ako sa labas nung homily, nakikibalita sa mga kaibigan kong kakapasa lang (whoops... sowie!!)

Nakausap ko si Ma'am Minda, tinext daw sa kanya ni Kuya Jeff nung Friday night na 27 daw di pumasa... pero di si Ma'am sure kung yung 27 na yun kasama na repeaters or puro first-timers lang.

Anyway... that's all water under the bridge now... ENJOY mo yang triumph mo... :) Congrats uli! And always remember, MAGIS!!! :)

[tapangusa]

ang tanong, pareho lang ba ang itinuturo sa UP and Ateneo Law? isiping mabuti bago i-assume na magiging topnotcher pa rin s'ya kung sa UP Law tumuloy. ;)

Pare pareho lang ang turo sa mga law schools..fact of the matter is faculty members of the big 3 lawschools are also teaching in other lawschools. example. judge pimentel teaches at ateneo, USt and arellano.same goes with atty. tony bautista, who teaches law in UP, Ateneo and UE. Prof/dean Agabin teaches law in UP and lyceum.

moreover pare pareho lang ang tinuturo na subject sa lawschool.
nagkaiba lang siguro pagdating sa bigayan ng grade. Sa Big 3 mas kuripot magbigay ng grade yang mga professors na yan..

most of all. having a topnotcher in the bar is not a guage on how good a lawschool is. topnotchers are more on the individual's capacity , abilities, and intellectual prowess.the safest guage is the passing percentage of the passers in a given lawschool. for the past ten years these lawschools are SBC ATENEO and UP.

[red_track]

ano passing percentage per school?

[ronelio]

i just hope na more than 50% ang passing rate ng SSC. kahapon nga pala sa inquirer, 24 out of 31 (77%) ang FEU-DLSU MBA-Juris Doctor pioneer batch. congrats!!!:):):)

[the_misfit]

Pare pareho lang ang turo sa mga law schools..fact of the matter is faculty members of the big 3 lawschools are also teaching in other lawschools. example. judge pimentel teaches at ateneo, USt and arellano.same goes with atty. tony bautista, who teaches law in UP, Ateneo and UE. Prof/dean Agabin teaches law in UP and lyceum.

moreover pare pareho lang ang tinuturo na subject sa lawschool.
nagkaiba lang siguro pagdating sa bigayan ng grade. Sa Big 3 mas kuripot magbigay ng grade yang mga professors na yan..

Binasa mo ba 'yung quotation? Sa tingin mo ba, walang bahid ng pagkakaiba ang mga Law schools gaya ng sinasabi mo? At ang resulta ng board exams ay mananatiling parehong-pareho lang kung sa ibang Law school nag-aral ang isang estudyante?

'Yun lang naman ang nais kong linawin. Wala ng iba pa.

Ang punto ko ay hindi lang para sa topnotcher. Para sa lahat ng kumuha ng board exams. Nagkataon lang na yung topnotcher last year ang nabanggit nung ni-quote ko.

Sory mod, medyo offt na.

[thebigQ]

Pare-pareho lang daw ang turo sa mga Law Schools. May friend ako from UST Law lumipat sha sa Perpetual dahil mas malapit sa bahay niya. Tapos mga classmates n'ya dun from other Law Schools and yun din ang assessment nila. Wala naman daw piinagkaiba. Nasa student lang talaga.

Congrats sa mga new lawyers! :)

I read from somewhere that the no.3 placer was a UPLB Chem graduate. Nakakatuwa naman mga UP grads.

Undergrad degree and school doesn't matter anymore, pero syempre kung ka-school nyo ang isang top 10 placer kahit nung undergrad nya, nakakatuwa din naman yon... nakaka-inspire at nakaka-proud. Ibig sabihin kahit saang lugar o field man makarating, kaya pa rin nila mag-excel.

Congratulations to those who passed the recently Bar Exam. Wait nyo ako, mag law din ako after four years:lol:

[ahlstedt]

wow! school mate ko nung elementary yung nag top sa bar exam! and yung 2nd place naman is classmate ko nung high school!
:)

anyway, i can't see the point why people here wanted to associate their schools with the top notchers in the 2008 bar exams.
give the credit to where it is due. remember, no school in the PI monopolizes the best in everything when it comes to education. kaya let's just congratulate the top notchers and the law schools where they came from.

and bar exam isn't everything. it's just the tip of the ice berg.

[joy_taurus_12]

May mga tao kasing mapagpilit. Lol ma pa BAR exam or ma pa most beautiful campus thread, dapat sila lagi ang on top. Pansin niyo kung aling schools ang masyadong atat? May dalawang klase. *** una, halatang halata dahil sila lang ng sila ang pumupuri sa sarili. *** iba naman, nag papaka subtle, pero deep inside, insecure pa rin. lol

Congrats to all new lawyers!

di naman big deal yung association na yun. they're just expressing their happiness and proudness sa ka-dugo nila. di ba happy and proud din tayo sa mga kagaya nina arnel pineda at charice pempengco at sasabihin nating Philippine-born and trained sila?

You forget to mention, yung laging pumupuri sa sarili nila, pinapalabas din na sila ang pinakaiinsecure-ang school sa bansa sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay ng baluktot na argumento.

Anyway, masaya ako sa mga schoolmates ko na pumasa sa board exam. At hinahangaan ko ang mga pumasa, at bumibilib sa kanila at sa pinanggalingan nila dahil patunay ito na ang "excellence" na nakuha nila mula sa kanilang pre-school hanggang undergrad school e hindi nawala sa kanila san man sila mag-aral pa o makarating.

[tapangusa]

this is turning out ot be "ride on" the success of others thread and we belong to the same pre-law school thread!!!

tama na yan. i-congrats na lang natin ang mga bar passer. in time this bar passers will have a rude awakening when they find out how rotten the system is.i believe it is beyond repair.pera pera lang yan.the kind that they never learned in lawschool thingy.

of course for now and the coming days, KAMPAI sa TAGUMPAY.keep the cold beers flowing paneros/paneras.!

[tigerman]

Congratulations to all those who passed the most prestigious examination in the world. :)

The topnotcher's statement hits it right on the money - "Preparation for the bar begins on the very 1st day in lawschool".

As for those taking the 2009 exams, my prayers are with you. The upcoming bar would be much harder unlike before because there would be 2 examiners per subject. Yung mga 'di masyado pinapansin na article at section ng mga batas ang puwedeng pagkuhanan ng mga tanong.



USTE LO MEJOR!
VIVA SANTO TOMAS!

[ladyrevolver]

^ouch! plus the fact na si justice nachura pa ang chairman this year's bar! double ouch!

[neinsager]

sana tumaas ang passing percentage ng UP this year. yun lang po. hehe.

the top-notcher graduated with an AB degree from UP Diliman. and i like baste. our father taught in their law school. *okay*

[Myst]

Tigerman, sabay ba tayo kukuha ng bar? :) Hehehe.. Btw, naapprove na ba yung two examiners per subject?


dun sa mga ibang tao diyan, wag niyo na ipilit kung saan nag pre-law ang isang law student ok ;) nakakatawa at nakakaawa lang tingnan..


Here's an excerpt from theinquirer...

http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/b.../ nation/view/20090404-197943/Bar-topnotcher-didnt-think- she-would-pass

She smiled remembering that as early as her third year in law school at San Sebastian, a professor predicted she would top the bar.

Lardizabal showed the Inquirer a Remedial Law midterm examination she had taken during her 3rd year for the second semester of school year 2006 to 2007, where she scored 99 because the professor believed “there is no such thing as a 100 score.”

Law school dean Willard B. Riano had written in the back of the cover page: “No mistake? You’ll top the bar! Work… work-read… Never stop!!! Excellent.”

That remark proved prophetic.

[joy_taurus_12]

Congratulations BASTE for producing a topnotcher. No other school should partake in that honor. :)

[thebigQ]

Bakit super affected yung iba diyan? :lol:

Kung magsalita yung iba parang sila yung dean ng Law school nung topnotcher eh. haha

Easy lang..:naughty:

[ronelio]

oliver baclay placed 6th in the 2003 chemistry board exams. congrats schoolmate! di na tayo nag abot coz 1998 ako grumadweyt hehehe:lol::lol::lol:

[mint_dine]

5 from ateneo are in the top 10.
3 from UP,
2 from San Beda college and
1(#2) from Mindanao State University
1 (#1) from san sebatian college

still...ateneo, san beda and u.p pa rin ang naglaban laban sa sa top 10...sana ilabas na agad ang top performing schools

[limp_sausage]

I second the motion!

[jayr_emlano]

Released na ba ang passing percentages ng schools?

[taurus90210]

Ang UP College of Social Work and Community Development, at ang buong UP system ay masayang masaya dahil ang BAr Topnotcher ngayon ay isang UP ALUMNA.

Patunay lamang na ang Iskolar, saan man makarating na unibersidad/law school/graduate school etc sa Pilipinas at sa ibang bansa man, kayang-kayang maging matagumpay at manguna sa anumang larangan!

for the upians... there's nothing wrong with being proud of your alumnus for making it to number 1 in law school... but please have some decency to give credit to san sebastian for honing her skills as a lawyer..

you can't blame non-upians from branding you guys as matatalino daw pero mayayabang naman.. precisely because of the "she's ours" attitude you're showing in this thread (and all the other threads here in pex)..

mga pinoy nga kayo.. no offense meant but it's irritating that you guys are scrambling mad on her success, branding it as your own. pathetic..

if she excelled in social work.. give credit to up.. but if she excelled in the bar/law, give credit to baste.. ganun lang kasimple... wag ninyo gawing komplikado mga ganyang bagay

syempre naman no, masaya din naman ang UP for San Sebastian...
at least di lang concentrated sa UP-Ateneo-SanBeda ang Law/Bar Top Notchers.

Yang mga law schools na yan e kunyari lang naman ang mga competitions, pero friends sila, at minsan same faculty members din.

[Jernat]

no one said UP, and not san sebastian, should take credit for producing the bar top-notcher. sinabi lang na sa UP siya nag-undergrad. syempre masaya ang mga taga UP dahil UP alumna rin siya. wag gawing komplikado.

congrats to the new lawyers! :)

[Dacs]

Malamang maglalabas nanaman ng ad yung tiyuhin ko regarding sa result ng board exam ng kanyang review center.

Every year lagi niya pinapakita yung ad nya sa newspaper na mas malaki pa yung pangalan nya kaysa sa mga pumasa na nakapasok sa top 10 :lol:

Come to think of it, ilan kaya ang pumasa sa review center nya ngayon? :naughty:

Thanks!:)

[kundera_tan]

Per my batchmate, the (un)official passing percentage of San Beda in last year's Bar is: 77-78%. This is probably one of it's lowest if not the lowest in the past 10 years. Please verify.

Lagot *** mga naghahabol ng QPI (usually daw kasi, binababaan ng Admin ang QPI pag OK performance ng Beda sa Bar)

aww baka nga totoo ito, yung ka-block section ko before sa SBC, 3 ang pumasa at 1 ang sablay sa 2008 bar...baka ng approx. 25% ang casualty ng SBC sa recent bar exam.

i guess, AdMU will now over take SBC sa 1st place ng law school ranking.

sa 2007 bar, mahigpit ang labanan nila and both of them were in the 90%+ passing rate, SBC edged out AdMU by a few points to claim the top spot.

well, i dunno about UPD...nag-release na ba sila?

From peyups.com (posted by: stoked)

Unofficial, but pretty accurate:

1. Ateneo - 84%
2. San Beda - 80%
3. FEU - DLSU (Less than 30 ang kumuha sa kanila ha)- 77%
4. UP (with 120 takers, around 25-30+ casualties) - 73%

mga 25-30 din ang casualties ng Ateneo and Beda.

galing peyups ba yan? kung 30 casulaties out of 120, dapat 75%. kung 25, dapat 79%

Pero ang figure na binigay sa akin, UP has 21 casualties, out of 122 takers... 101/122 = 82.78%.
Di lang nasabi kung ilan ang 1st at repeaters.

[leiz@r]

The bar exams results of FEU-DLSU (MBA-JD dual degree) is okay na rin for starters... Cheers!

Teka, mali pala yung figures na sinend ko dati. Ito yata yung tama:

Number of topnotchers (#1), 1913-2008

From the latest posting sa http://www.upd.edu.ph/, 113 daw naman ang pumasa. So therefore, marami pa palang wala sa list (so may 12 na nadagdag na pumasa from the 101 figure).
Kaso wala namang nabanggit kung ilan lahat ang nag-take...*peace*

So kung nadagdagan ng 12 ang list (malamang yung mga retakers ito for 2 or more years na), there are at least 134 takers. Assuming 134 nga, maging 84.33% ang passing rate ng UP.

Sana kase ilabas na ng SC ang % passing ng bawat schools. Tulad ng CHED, may % passing pa ng 1st takers at repeaters.

Question.Who gets the credit for this feat? Is it La Salle ,FEU or both?

[huntfan]

Question.Who gets the credit for this feat? Is it La Salle ,FEU or both?

I think FEU administers the JD side of the dual degree so if you have to assign credit, it should be to FEU. :D

[dikonaalam]

I think for the FEU-DLSU (okay, maybe DLSU-FEU) MBA-JD Program, BOTH school should be recognized equally. I mean, it wouldn't be an MBA-JD program without DLSU's MBA, and same goes with FEU's Institute of Law.

Off-topic:

According to DLSU's website, their College of Law is now open. But according to the joint statement of both school, the MBA-JD program will still be offered through this institutional partnership. Their reason is the newly-opened DLSU College of Law will focus more on human rights and environmental law. After all, FEU has its own MBA, right?

[tupangusa]

Ah, FEU should get the LAW aspect of the course. It's the FEU profs who taught the students the LAw aspect of the course using FEU's method of legal education.

[lancaster500]

Former Bulacan Gov. Pagdanganan (summa cum laude, mlqu engineering) took also the bar exam but did not pass, right? please confirm.

[frititomasa]

i congratulate all passers especially the top ones. i just hope that my school, UST, will one day be able to retain its glory during ms. maneja's period wherein we are able to outscore everyon and got the topnotcher.

good luck po!

Kakaiba talaga sa Pilipinas. Obsessed sa pagiging #1 sa bar.

Sa America at iba pang bansa, ang objective lang ng mga nagba-bar, pumasa. Kasi hindi rin naman pina-publish sa Amerika kung sino yung nag-top. hehehehe

[fortherecord]

Ang UP College of Social Work and Community Development, at ang buong UP system ay masayang masaya dahil ang BAr Topnotcher ngayon ay isang UP ALUMNA.
'Win' by association. Pwede nadin. :bop:

The topnotcher acknowledged that her undergrad course in UP became her motivation to pursue law.

“My family is not that well-off. My mother runs a mini grocery at a marketplace. My father (Deodato) is a tricycle driver. After I graduated from UP (University of the Philippines), they helped me with my tuition and I had to work more so I could enroll at law school,” she told the Inquirer.

Judy is the middle child in a brood of three. She recalled that her desire to be a lawyer came only while she was doing her on-the-job training for her undergraduate course in social work at UP.
“We helped non-government organizations in cases of battered and abused women. We handled the psycho-social aspect of the cases and had to turn the victims over to lawyers for the legal aspect,” Lardizabal said.

Number of placers in top 10, 1913-2008:

UP - 211
Ateneo - 294
SBC - 78


Number of topnotchers (#1), 1913-2008

UP - 49
Ateneo - 19
SBC - 6

*Ateneo's first batch of graduates took the bar exams in 1940.

san beda sent bar candidates for the first time in 1952, who all passed the bar. From 1953 up to 1958, the San Beda Law School achieved a feat of attaining a 100 percent passing rate in the Bar Exams.

[taurus90210]

I think new lawyers with very good track record in winning debates and moot court competitions are preferrable than top 10 bar examinees. But of course dapat take 1 lang ng Bar.

[benj20_ph]

The topnotcher acknowledged that her undergrad course in UP became her motivation to pursue law.

“My family is not that well-off. My mother runs a mini grocery at a marketplace. My father (Deodato) is a tricycle driver. After I graduated from UP (University of the Philippines), they helped me with my tuition and I had to work more so I could enroll at law school,” she told the Inquirer.

Judy is the middle child in a brood of three. She recalled that her desire to be a lawyer came only while she was doing her on-the-job training for her undergraduate course in social work at UP.
“We helped non-government organizations in cases of battered and abused women. We handled the psycho-social aspect of the cases and had to turn the victims over to lawyers for the legal aspect,” Lardizabal said.

yea it is win by association nga naman.

give credit as to whom, when and where it is due.

in Lardizabal's case, it is SSCR-M that provided her the needed law education for to her to be able realize her dream.

And it is the barrister from SBC who garnered the highest bar exams rating of 96%, Justice Florenz Regalado, the second placer of that timeAtty. Navato also garnered the highest rating for a second placer in the bar exams. These two "feat" up to this time remains to be unbroken.

wala namang sinabi dinidiscredit ang SSCR, pero syempre the drive to pursue law was further developed sa undergrad nya.
Saka wala naman masamang lumingon sa pinanggalingan...
Nag-high school sya sa Del Pilar Academy... so wala namang masamang maging masaya ang mga taga-DPA sa kanya di ba?
Wala ring masama kung maging masaya at ipagmalaki sya ng CSWCD ng UP Diliman, kase nag-aral din naman sya don...

at ang propesyunal na pagtulong sa kapwa na natutunan at napalalim nya bilang isang Social Work grad ay di naman mawawala habang-buhay.

[Katchatore]

Sana ilipat na yung MBA-JD exclusively sa La Salle.

Ilang candidate ang pinadala ng San Beda nun?

Kasi nangyayari pa rin ang 100% passing rate hanggang panahon natin. Diba nga may law school sa Basilan na 100% ang passing rate a few years ago? 1/1 = 100%. :P

[ronelio]

cum laude lang si Miriam huh (UP Law 1969) at kulelat nga sya sa Bar:lol::lol::lol: magna at class valedictorian naman si Cong. Ronaldo Zamora who went on to top the Bar:):):) 3rd placer naman si Senator Frank Drilon!!!

for me, mas importante ang TOR at if may latin honors ka. Look at Dionne Marie Sanchez, UP Law (magna) valedictorian in 2007. di nga sya nag top 10. to think na cum laude lang sila January Sanchez at Joan de Venecia!!! Sanchez was part of UP-Jean Pictet Moot Court team in 2006.

i guess classmates sila Sanchez at Bar #1 Atty. Ona sa UP BAA (Class of 2002). Sanchez was summa, Ona was cum laude.

it was advertised in the Inquirer today that Arellano Law has 60 new lawyers. Congrats!!!

dito sa cebu (USC), 45 out of 89 (50.56 %)ang new lawyers from batch 2008. 6 ang pumasa sa mga repeaters. so ang overall rating must be below 50%. di na kase sinabi kung ilan ang examinees nila.

ano nga pala sa rank ni oliver baclay sa admu? i'm sure di sya ang valedictorian coz babae ang top grad ng admu law last year. si yvette yaneza ba ang valedictorian ng UP law this year?

ga-graduate na rin ba si anna theresa licaros (BB Pilipinas 2007)?

bakit wala yung sa UST? pwede ba pa-include yung stats nito?

[taurus90210]

bakit wala yung sa UST? pwede ba pa-include yung stats nito?

better if you can do your research to include those data here.
I think those people are intersted more regarding the big 3 law schools of the country.

[spanishsardine]

bakit wala yung sa UST? pwede ba pa-include yung stats nito?

UST.. No data. lolz just kidding. I believe UST has 2 topnotchers. One is Diosdado macapagal and the other one is Arlene M. Maneja .

[joshua3]

UST.. No data. lolz just kidding. I believe UST has 2 topnotchers. One is Diosdado macapagal and the other one is Arlene M. Maneja .

I think tatlo sila. Alam ko kasi number 1 din sa batch nya si former Chief Justice Roberto Gonzales. Konti pa rin compared to UP and Ateneo. Wala ngang comparison to talk about haha. :lol:

[santo_santino]

UST.. No data. lolz just kidding. I believe UST has 2 topnotchers. One is Diosdado macapagal and the other one is Arlene M. Maneja .

Chief Justice Roberto Concepcion was the third one. He topped the bar in 1924. ;)

[tupangusa]

^^ No offense.what's happening with UST??to think na sial ang first lawschool in the philippines,1700s pa yata tapos 2 lang ang topnotchers.

[frititomasa]

^^ yup, i remember when arlene maneja topped the bar. it was one of the biggest celebrations in UST!?!

haay, kailan kaya ulit? Go USTE!?!

[Madison]

taga-UP ako. bale 72% ang passing ng UP law this year... congrats beth liceralde, michael macapagal and shirley velasquez!!! :D super proud of our top 10 placers!!

[philippines123]

taga-UP ako. bale 72% ang passing ng UP law this year... congrats beth liceralde, michael macapagal and shirley velasquez!!! :D super proud of our top 10 placers!!

No... it's 77.8%, But 91% passing rate for first timers...
Congrats din...

Sino ba talaga ang totoong Chief justice ang tinutukoy nyo? Roberto Gonzales or Roberto Concepcion? or iisang tao lang un?? Ang alam ko kasi 2 lang talaga. Nagdeclare pa nga nang walang pasok ang UST nung nagtop si Pres Diosdado Macapagal eh so expected ni Atty Arlene na magdedeclare din ng walang pasok ang UST pero disappointed sya kasi cant afford daw ng UST ang magdeclare ng walang pasok.

[ronelio]

No... it's 77.8%, But 91% passing rate for first timers...

so, ilan ba talaga ang new UP lawyers? is it really 113?

There are way too many insecure people in this thread. Why do I get the feeling that most of them are not even lawyers nor bar candidates? Perhaps the focus ought to be on earning your place under the sun through personal merit instead of living vicariously off the exploits of your alma mater.

[frititomasa]

^^ i like that, ash! love your own, as they say.

and also, UST has proven its worth since time immemorial that it is still a significsnt law school though it has not produced any bar topnotchers recently. why? because our law graduates have proven that a law degree is not complete if you don't put your heart into it.

may puso at utak, yan ang dugong tomasino!?!

Paki-describe naman po yung correlation ng pagiging Chief Justice at ng pagiging graduate ng UST (o ng kahit anong paaralan pa man din). Kasi hindi ka naman yata pinipili na Chief Justice dahil taga certain school ka di ba?

Lalo naman siguro yung pagiging Presidente ng Pilipinas. :P

Unless maeexplain mo nga.

sows mga bata talaga. their lives and experiences are so limited i would cry for them. i'll bet they haven't seen one "golden age" filipino movie starring the likes of r. dela rosa or l. rodriguez. they haven't watched movies from the karate-trained leading man genre. practitioner-actors like the gonzales sibblings (roberto, magna, and that fat guy,) champion bernard belleza, tony ferrer (the classic conga drum background,) actor-turned director ariston bautista, comedian ramon zamora, vic vargas, and actor-turned politician ray malonzo.

roberto gonzales, i understand, went to gaol for drug dealing. his father, latino gonzales, was the first accredited karate teacher in the philippines.

Please do not compare UST's alumni with Bedans... UST is a university while San Beda is only a college. Nevertheless, the latter vie for "quality" instead of "quantity"

[dlonra76]

Ilang candidate ang pinadala ng San Beda nun?

Kasi nangyayari pa rin ang 100% passing rate hanggang panahon natin. Diba nga may law school sa Basilan na 100% ang passing rate a few years ago? 1/1 = 100%. :P

around 50 candidates each year

Teka. Ano na ba ang nangyari sa Pilipinas after having 6 justices and 4 presidents who studied in UST?:eek:

And this 6 justices and 4 presidents that you are talking about are irrelevant to this thread. Ang pinaguusapan dito is performance in the Bar exams.

Sabi ko lang sa tagal tagal na ng law school ng UST, 1700s pa, ay bakit 3 p lang ang naging topnotchers na na porduce nila. Ok, given na ang recorded topnotchers begin only the late 1920s pero ganun pa man mas kaunti pa rin ang topnotchers ng UST compared to "younger" lawschools such as Ateneo, UP and San Beda. Ang saklap pa nito baka San Sebastian will be a better lawschool than UST.

Not only that it would seem that the passing percentage in UST is quite low compared even to provincial schools such as ateneo de davao and University of San Carlos. Ang kapantay ng UST sa passing percentage is Arellano law. Kung tutuusin mas nakakgulat pa ang passing percentage ng arellano dahil kahit meron syang reputation as school for dropouts of UP, SBC and ATENEO ah it has a fairly good passing percentage na kapantay lang halos ng UST.
Kaya nga ang tanong ko is what is happening to UST??

tanggapin nyo na na there is something wrong with the system of running the lawschool there in UST.

By the way Roberto Concepcion, a beloved UST Law alumnus, is also a Bedan...check his profile in the Supreme Court web site. Kung meron law school ang SBC during his time he could have enrolled in SBC.

SBC's contribution to the legal profession?? dami....it will need another thread to discuss it.

[Bahay_Na_Bato]

around 50 candidates each year

50 candidates for all those years na may 100% passing? Pakita ka ng source. :) Kasi dati, maliliit ang population ng mga law school. :)

UST's case only proves that you don't have to be a topnotcher in the bar exams or be a graduate of AdMU, SBC or UP to be able to provide significant contributions or achieve remarkable feats worthy of being written down in our country's history.

[darkside]

Hi tupangusa,

Maybe there is a problem in the system or curriculum. But I'm sure the UST Faculty of Civil Law is aware of this problems and maybe already doing corrective measures to change the trend. But from what I know it has has certainly improved as compared with the passing rates during the 1990's. Usually it ranks no 4 in the category with 30 or more examinees (metro manila). :)

[tupangusa]

What contributions are you talking about?

being appointed in a judicial office or being elected as the chief executive involves several factors. money, power, influence and the list goes on and on. the system now is the same as before.

don't get me wrong I have nothing against UST. I'm just alarmed at what is happening to them. Sayang naman sila pa naman ang isa sa pinaka unang paaralang ng batas sa pilipinas..I dont want to see in the cellars specially in the BAR exams. Mind you in other courses ,UST is one of if not, the best school..(medicine, architecture, philo, accountancy)..Law lang talga sa tingin ko ang may problema

[ronelio]

from ateneolaw.ateneo.edu

AdMU's passing rate is 85.1% (143 out of 168)
SBC - around 78%
UP -71%

[judge_ojo]

73% daw ang UP

[philippines123]

ang gugulo nyo. magpost na lang ng link para sigurado.

[dlonra76]

50 candidates for all those years na may 100% passing? Pakita ka ng source. :) Kasi dati, maliliit ang population ng mga law school. :)

Here is the website. You may contact them for the list of all Bedan Bar passers from 1952-57...

http://www.ibp.org.ph/

Here is the bar performance of San Beda from the beginning of time...

http://www.sanbeda.edu.ph/San%20Beda%20College%20of%20Law%20-%20Roster%20of%20Bar%20Topnochers.html
http://www.sanbeda.edu.ph/San%20Beda%20College%20of%20Law%20-%20Performance%20of%20Law%20Graduates%20in%20the%20Bar%20Examinations.html

FYI, I was a student of San Beda from elementary to college & I am now working as an accountant here in NY. My brother is a lawyer there as well, but he is from Ateneo. Throughout my stay in San Beda, I had seen as many as 500 to 600 students in first year college of law BUT ONLY around or between 50 - 120 survive and reach 4th year. In fact, some of my HS classmates were kicked out in their college of law years and attended either Arellano or Baste, where they finally became full-pledged lawyers. Last year's 6th placer from San Sebastian (Karen Canlulas) also attended San Beda College in her earlier years.

Now let's go back to the topic of 2008 Bar Exams and stop lambasting San Beda because like I said, I wouldn't argue that UST goes for quantity, San Beda goes for quality. It is a fact.

Not only that it would seem that the passing percentage in UST is quite low compared even to provincial schools such as ateneo de davao and University of San Carlos. Ang kapantay ng UST sa passing percentage is Arellano law. Kung tutuusin mas nakakgulat pa ang passing percentage ng arellano dahil kahit meron syang reputation as school for dropouts of UP, SBC and ATENEO ah it has a fairly good passing percentage na kapantay lang halos ng UST.
Kaya nga ang tanong ko is what is happening to UST??

tanggapin nyo na na there is something wrong with the system of running the lawschool there in UST.

By the way Roberto Concepcion, a beloved UST Law alumnus, is also a Bedan...check his profile in the Supreme Court web site. Kung meron law school ang SBC during his time he could have enrolled in SBC.

SBC's contribution to the legal profession?? dami....it will need another thread to discuss it.


I agree with you... Thanks for the facts.

[Eiji_Kikumaru]

kailangan talaga study hard, perseverance at common sense sabi nga d b when you enter law school you are now preparing yourself to take the BAR siguro gnun ang mindset ng mga BAR TOPNOTCHERS

Napatunayan ng BASTE na kaya nilang mkipagsabayan sa mga top law schools. Congratulations *okay*

Sabi nga ng prof ko sa OBLICON iisa lang namn ang Civil Code, Criminal Law, Commercial Law, Remedial Law, Labor Code, at Constitution na binabasa ng mga law students nagka2talo lang talaga sa attitude ng mga students meron masipag at meron din na hndi.

Kaya marami ng naproduce ang UP, Ateneo at Beda na Topnotchers

[Eiji_Kikumaru]

Im not a THOMASIAN Law student

but to all THOMASIAN Barristers who will take the 2009 BAR EXAM take this as a challenge to prove to us that you can produce another TOP NOTCHER.

We cannot deny if you have more BAR TOP NOTCHERS the more people will look up to your schools

Here is the website. You may contact them for the list of all Bedan Bar passers from 1952-57...

This does not make the point you want to make.

Where's the source? Burden of proof is on you.


Here is the bar performance of San Beda from the beginning of time...

http://www.sanbeda.edu.ph/San%20Beda%20College%20of%20Law%20-%20Roster%20of%20Bar%20Topnochers.html
http://www.sanbeda.edu.ph/San%20Beda%20College%20of%20Law%20-%20Performance%20of%20Law%20Graduates%20in%20the%20Bar%20Examinations.html

Nice numbers, meaningless to our discussion, though, because they do not provide the figures being asked for.

Again, burden of proof lies with you.


FYI, I was a student of San Beda from elementary to college & I am now working as an accountant here in NY. My brother is a lawyer there as well, but he is from Ateneo.

Irrelevant. I want numbers.

Throughout my stay in San Beda, I had seen as many as 500 to 600 students in first year college of law BUT ONLY around or between 50 - 120 survive and reach 4th year. In fact, some of my HS classmates were kicked out in their college of law years and attended either Arellano or Baste, where they finally became full-pledged lawyers. Last year's 6th placer from San Sebastian (Karen Canlulas) also attended San Beda College in her earlier years.

Irrelevant. This does not prove the point you want to prove.


Now let's go back to the topic of 2008 Bar Exams and stop lambasting San Beda because like I said, I wouldn't argue that UST goes for quantity, San Beda goes for quality. It is a fact.

Lambasting? Humihingi lang ng patunay, lambasting na agad?
I would've expected someone who claims to be from New York to be a little tougher. :)

[frititomasa]

Teka. Ano na ba ang nangyari sa Pilipinas after having 6 justices and 4 presidents who studied in UST?:eek:

And this 6 justices and 4 presidents that you are talking about are irrelevant to this thread. Ang pinaguusapan dito is performance in the Bar exams.

Sabi ko lang sa tagal tagal na ng law school ng UST, 1700s pa, ay bakit 3 p lang ang naging topnotchers na na porduce nila. Ok, given na ang recorded topnotchers begin only the late 1920s pero ganun pa man mas kaunti pa rin ang topnotchers ng UST compared to "younger" lawschools such as Ateneo, UP and San Beda. Ang saklap pa nito baka San Sebastian will be a better lawschool than UST.

excuse me lang po. but ust is a competitive law school and it has proven that we're not just a so-so law school. we have produced bar topnotchers, senators and politicians too.

[ronelio]

[Bahay_Na_Bato]

Hindi hinahanay ang FEU-DLSU program sa tabi ng mga program ng Ateneo, Beda, UP, at iba pang program na mahigit 100 candidates ang pinapadala sa Bar Exams.

[tupangusa]

di kasama ang baste??

[ronelio]

sorry sa mga taga Baste but ur skul is not included in the top 10. kelan ba na include? ang consistent sa top 4 are AdMU, SBC, UP and AdDU. yan lang talaga ang order almost every year. let us see the performance of FEu-DLSU this year coz kasali na ang mga repeaters who usually drag down the school performance.

di rin kasali ang school ng 2nd placer from IIT.:(

[ronelio]

exceptional cases talaga ang perfomances ng #1 from Baste and #2 from MSU IIT.

of topic: congrats sa AdDU for winning the 1st invitational International Humanitarial Law moot court competition last June 2. tinalo nila ang UP Law sa finals. other schools were AdMU, NEU, PUP, UST, Arellano and USLS Bacolod.

[killem]

something wrong?hehehe pakikialam ng mga dominicano prayle. hehehhe. kidding aside, **** hnd ganun kataas ang passing ng ust, compara sa 3 skul, e pinapakita nmn nla sa praktis ang kanilang kahusayan.

sbi nga ng isang guro "akala nila nya sila lang ang magaling, napahiya 2loy sya" *** po sana wag po mag let down ng skul or ng pinanggalingan dahil nasa estudynte p rn yan. Ayon nga sa SC decision " walang paaralan ng batas ang may monopolya ng kaalaman sa batas" kagaya ng pinakita ng 08 bar topnotcher =)
congrats =)
