@TAKE FOUR… Congrats.What an inspiring message. I will be like you too…May I ask san ka po nag refresher course? Thanks Atty!!!
Sa skul namin sa wmsu ako nag refresh. One yr is sufficient time for you to read txtbooks, go back to basic. Habol ka lang sa update on d review proper. U wil discover that bar exam would be easier.
look at the news guys, almost a hundred prosecutors retires. Some due to old age. look at the number of bar passers last 2012 its only 900 plus. Correct me if I am wrong but we filipinos are already 90 million in population. Who will represent each and every filipinos in courts?who will tell them their rights and defend their cases in courts?the 900 new lawyers to spread across the Phils?When we took the bar last year esp. after the tax exam, I saw examinees who cried and overheard them say who will defend my kababayans if we will not pass the bar. Sirs and madames in SC. we need more lawyers.
@TAKEFOUR : Thanks so much for the reply… God Bless you more
God bless you too! I just want all those who did not make it to move on. Swallow your pride bcoz it wont help you this time. Disregard all the reasons for you not to take again. We are in the legal profession that calls for utmost perseverance where only the brave touches the final lap. Financial problem, lack of sufficient time, working, low morale, naranasan ko yan. I live in Basilan, the farthest province, working in the govt and depends only fm my salary to feed my family and 3 kid, 2 are going to school while the other 1, ang mahal ng gatas at pampers. I amnow a lawyer after 4 attempts. I see no reason why you cannot make it. Stand up guys, read your books…
@TAKEFOUR.. You gave the best motivation for me. We have so many things in common- I have 3 kids na din po, 2 elementary and 1 is going 2 years old.. Sabi ko, hindi na kaya ng pera ko, as in wala na akong budget for this.The expenses I used last year for the bar exam, I have not paid it all pa.
But then, you made it po.. I will take that as a challenge now.. Thank you so much…Got to call up the law schools in Manila and take a refresher course.
Thank you so much and God Bless
Choose for a skul that is not strict in attendance. Believe me, refresher’s course is only for compliance. Rather, it wil force u to read txtbooks and focus on subjcts u think u are weak. Go back to basic. Of course, take the exams para may grado ka and to test ur preparations. Magdasal ka, with more reason God wil listen to u bcoz u r truly deserving. Mabilis ang panahon. W/ ur xperiences, kayang kaya mo any type of exam. Practice short answers… Good luck…
Me too, lost all 3 opportunities to become a lawyer. Got 3 kids, meager salary, no savings, no time, etc. There is just no way in hell i can.go back to school for a refresher at this time. I’m just moving forward parking my ambition for a retake. I’ve learned that i need to study for 1 whole year to make it. If been reviewing 1 month before the exams and that is just not enough preparation. I did the same.mistakes 3 times because of the lack of funds. So frustrated.
