Bar Examinees of 2009: Congratulations and God Bless

October 6, 2009

Time flies so fast. It seems there was never enough time to study and prepare for 4 grueling Sundays. Same thing even if there was an extension of one week, due to Ondoy. There was certainly no enough time to finish answering all the questions, especially with the unbearable number of questions in the 2009 bar, some say. I can’t judge because I haven’t seen the questions. Perhaps in the days to come, when these questions are dissected at phBar.

Time flies so fast, until last Sunday, 4 October 2009, the last day of the bar exams. After two full days of rest, our battle-weary examinees will begin to realize that, henceforth, time will slow down to an agonizing crawl.

Every day will be a test of patience. Every rumor will be magnified. The suspense will boil to point where you cease to care if you pass or fail — let’s just get this over with (ok, I may be wrong, of course you’d care if you pass or fail).

So, as the waiting game begins, let me to congratulate everyone for surviving the four Sundays of mind-numbing exams. Good luck and God bless, as you wait for the release of the results. You’ll be in our prayers.

Update: It’s Friday, 26 March 2010.

Update: Let’s congratulate everyone who’ve made the interaction in this post interesting (for the rest, please identify yourself so we could add you to the list):

Bauzon, Edward R. (think positive a.k.a. ondoy at manila times)
Dalawampu, Louie Mark M. (bubwit)

Garce-Mejia, Racquel F. (on bended knees)
Magcamit, Eric Jay A. (ELA)
Pepito, Charisse Faith T. (miss preggy)
Tagaloguin, Fritz Z. (daques)
Toledo, Maria Joy O. (getintheaction)

Again, congratulations. I hope to see you all in court.

    See!?I know you guys who were from around Manila knows the remarks of Justice Nachura as agreed by No. 1.He further encourage those who previously fail the bar exam (for 2 or more times) to take the 2009 bar because of this intention.These were the reason why he selected the most lenient law expert (as he know) to be his examiners.. Let just pray that those assigned examiners is in the side of Justice N. in fulfilling his words.

    I know, you guys would agree with me that the questions from 2009 bar examination were really unexpected.Considering the volume of its questions and the new rules that were implimented.Sana for the first time, gawin nila 70% ang papasa or 4,256 out of 6,080. Para masaya sa oath taking diba’ mas marami mas masaya!!!This is also to give justice to all students, parents, friends and others that were trully sacrefice themselves in the four (4) years study, reviews and other preparations. Some examinees whom I associated last bar exam were already old..sana naman!!!!..to the Bar examiners who is reading this, God Bless po..God uses you as an instrument to make lawyers.Sana po DONT BE TOO TECHNICAL IN CHECKING THE PAPERS..

    I absolutely concur with angel_mg with respect to Justice Nachura’s encouragement for those who failed twice already in the bar to take the 2009 bar exams because he intends to give a high passing rate and i can still vividly remember that. The intention was very clear… produce many lawyers for this year.

    This is just in : RUMOR has it that a certain Justice V of CA said that the results will be out on the 15th. However, a certain Justice D said that its going to be on the 16th. So more or less early or mid next week.

    The good thing about this is that the national passing percentage is currently at 19% BUT it very likely that it will be increased up to 25-30% since the passing percentage in Tax will likely be decreased.

    Lets hope for the best. Good luck to all of us.

    No one can tell at this moment as to what is the passing rate of the 2009 bar exams. But having been a former student of the Chair @ Beda, i am confident that the passing rate will not be less than 30%.

    Viva Justice Nachura!!!! Men come and go but the memory lives on… In behalf of the 2009 baristas, we are appealing for your humanitarian consideration considering the many first-time circumstances we went through…

    hay dami na kabado…………. sana madami pumasa sana 30% passing percentage, or mas ,mataas pa na hindi na kailangan ibaba pa ang passing rate sa 75% the supreme court should not do that… okey lang sana gawin nila na below 75% passing ng bar examinee kasi pabor yun pero please ammend muna nila rules of court promulagate new rules na dapat para sa ginagawa nilang pag-adjust ng passing rate parang nawawalan [restoge ang legal profession eh

    Rule 138-A Section 14

    Passing average. — In order that a candidate may be deemed to have passed his examinations successfully, he must have obtained a general average of 75 per cent in all subjects, without falling below 50 per cent in any subjects. In determining the average, the subjects in the examination shall be given the following relative weights: Civil Law, 15 per cent; Labor and Social Legislation, 10 per cent; Mercantile Law, 15 per cent; Criminal Law; 10 per cent: Political and International Law, 15 per cent; Taxation, 10 per cent; Remedial Law, 20 per cent; Legal Ethics and Practical Exercises, 5 per cent

    @ELA: Aliwin mo na lang sarili mo. Why not watch a movie? Madaming maganda ngayon kasi Oscar season. Even sa DVD, clear na din yung copy. Try watching a series like Chuck, True Blood or Glee.

    Alam nyo ba guys na sa Med Board, parang 3 days lang labas na agad ang results unlike sa atin where we have to wait for eternity.

    @angel_mg: How I wish magdilang anghel ka. Isang beses lang ata sa history ng bar exams na pumalo sa 75% ang passing rate (1954). It would be nice na maulit ito para ma-experience ko naman na magkaroon ng street party along Padre Faura. Normally kasi, once the results are released, ang napapansin lang ng tao ay yung mga pumasa. Pero di na napapansin yung mga umiiyak sa gilid. On the 16th(if this is true), I’ll be at the SC. Hope I could shake your hand.

    It would be lovely after all the hoopla if all of us here could get together for beer or coffee. It would be nice to share & discuss our bar experience.
