Thomasian places fifth in Bar exams; UST hikes passing rate

A THOMASIAN made it to the Top 10 of the Bar examinations for the first time in a nearly a decade, while UST’s passing rate jumped to 88.52% in what has become a doubly memorable Quadricentennial year for the Faculty of Civil Law.

Christian Louie Gonzales got a score of 84.09 percent, placing fifth and ending UST’s nine-year drought in the Top 10 of the Bar exams.

Taking into account only first-timers, UST posted a passing rate of 88.52 percent as 54 out of 61 first-time examinees made the cut. Faculty Secretary Arthur Capili said the official passing rate of UST has yet to be released by the Office of the Bar Confidant of the Supreme Court. In 2010, UST had a passing rate of 68 percent, as only 70 out of 103 aspirants passed the exam.

The Bar exams were held in UST, the country’s oldest law school, last November for the first time.

Leading this year’s Bar exam passers is Raoul Angelo Atadero (85.53 percent) of Ateneo de Manila, who was followed by another Ateneo student Luz Danielle Bolong (84.56 percent), Cherry Liez Rafal-Roble (84.46 percent) of Arellano University, and Rosemil Bañaga (84.12 percent) of Notre Dame University.

The national passing rate, meanwhile, went up to 31.95 percent – the "second-highest passing rate in the millennium" – from 2010’s 20.26 percent. A total of 1,913 out of 5,987 examinees passed, an improvement from 982 out of 4,847 the previous year.

“The results of the recent Bar exams indeed confirm that UST belongs to the premiere law schools in the country and that the collective efforts of the academic officials, faculty, and students to further improve our performance in the Bar exams are paying off,” Civil Law Dean Nilo Divina said in a text message sent to the Varsitarian.

Supreme Court Associate Justice Roberto Abad, a former UST law dean, headed the 2011 Bar Committee. Major changes were made to the Bar exams, such as the adoption of multiple-choice questions in the first three exams days and essay-type questions in the last day. Multiple-choice questions had a weight of 60 percent while essay questions were weighted 40 percent.

The exam schedule was moved to November from September for the first time in two decades to prepare for the new system.
In a press release, Abad said the Supreme Court introduced changes in the Bar exams “to exert pressure on law schools to re-examine the substance and shape of legal education.”

“First, by asking multiple choice questions or MCQs in the Bar exams, the Court has put a stop to the practice of requiring students to memorize the law and its principles. Second, with the help of the academe, the Supreme Court has redefined the objective of the Bar exams and the competence and skills that they should measure.

Third, we have begun giving essay-type problems in the Bar examinations that would measure the candidate’s depth of learning and intelligence.”

The successful examinees will take their oaths on March 21 at the Philippine International Convention Center.

The last time a Thomasian entered the Bar Top 10 was when Arlene Maneja placed first in 2002.

Thomasians Carla Sta. Maria placed fifth in 1994 while Benigno Par placed fourth in 1998. In 2000, Prudence Angelita Kasala placed eight.

Before Arlene Maneja, Diosdado Macapagal and Roberto Concepcion topped the Bar in 1936 and 1924, respectively. Rafael L. Antonio

binawasan nila ang examinees para tumaas ang passing rate... maganda sana kung at least 100 examinees at hindi bababa ng 80% ang passing rate at may isa palagi sa top ten...

[vicmesar]

mukhang di quality AND quantity ang UST Faculty of Civil Law hehehe

[citrus_bean]

okay lang yan, mapaonti or madaming examinees basta okay ang performance, ayos na.

in various licensure exams na palaging madami ang UST examinees, mahirap talagang, maging 100% yung passing rate.


kaya madali sa iba to have a high passing rate ay dahil lesser yung examinees nila.

pero despite the number, decent pa rin yung passing rate ng UST in various licensure exams.

yung ibang schools nga, onti lang yung examinees, onti pa rin yung pumapasa.

decent naman yung latest bar exam results ng UST

Congrats, UST Faculty of Civil Law!

[Tomasaiyan]

meron bang SC Justice ngayon na galing ng Santo Tomas Law? Baka kasi dumating ang panahon na wala ng makuha galing ng USTe...

Noong 1950s 'yung talagang halos taun-taon ay may topnotcher tayo. 1980s-pataas naman ang hindi naging masyadong matunog ang UST FCL pagdating sa topnotchers. Maganda naman agad ang pasok ngayong bagong dekada. Sana ay tuluy-tuloy na.

Appointment sa Judiciary is political by nature. Even a graduate of so-so school with so-so practice (say, wala namang trial experience) could be appointed sa Judiciary.

Pumasok ka sa legal world, naparaming "****," to quote Sen. Mirriam Santiago.

So kung wala ng Thomasians sa SC in the future, it only means mahina sa connections sila. Kaya nga pag UP ang Presidente, maraming UP sa SC (Marcos time); pag Atenista ang Presidente, ang mga na aapoint mga Atenista (Erap time; even Noynoy)

It boils down sa ------- political backer.
That's all.

na edit pala ko hehehe

Kuya sux, san mo 'to nakuha?
Mga 60's, medyo madalang na ang UST grads sa top 10.

Wala parin bang nilalabas na overall passing rate for UST?

[ЅUX2BÜ]

Sa kaibuturan ng aking puso galing ang impormasyong 'yan. LOL.

Siyempre pa kundi sa website ng SC.

Lalo naman nung dekada otsenta o; talagang si Corazon G. Ferrer-Flores lang ang nagtaguyod sa pangalan ng UST.

Pero sa palagay ko ay lalong mamayagpag ang UST FCL sa mga susunod na taon. Grabe lang 'yung mga pagbabagong nagaganap kasi sa FCL ngayon. Talagang umaarangkada kasi si Dean Divina. Mala-Divina Intervention daw ang nagaganap sa FCL ngayon eh.

[drewspartan]

lumabas na daw results ng feb.18,2012 exam? saan makikita? wala kasi sa website.

[ilu_marco]

ganda ng performance ng UST FCL this year!

[YoonJay18]

Happy to see that the Faculty of Civil Law showed a good showing in the recent bar examinations.

I think we need to take pride that UST-FCL is the very first law school in the country. So at least, I hope that we can be at par with the top law schools in the country like Ateneo, UP, and San Beda on a consistent basis. And I'm very pleased to see that Dean Divina has been working hard to improve the faculty.

Congratulations to all the passers!
