Bar Examinees of 2009: Congratulations and God Bless
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.

guys, keep it cool, in the future we will all become lawyers, might as well develop our camaraderie here, mga comapaneyeros :- ), basta we all have to pray… Good Luck to all of us, but the word is out and insiders in the Supreme Court have and incling that the results will be out either last week of feb or early march. :- )
Tama ka optimus. Kumbaga let’s form a corporation where in its article, our original capital stock is prayers….. Di rin kc maiwasan. In my case I keep myself bc in work pero pag nakikita ko computer sa ofc bigla pumapasok sa isip ko release of bar result, silip ako agad dito…. Hirap mga pare……
fama ka atty to be.. pray lang tau na malaki percentage. ako nga may nakasagutan ako na nagpasaring na para bang dinadown nya ako pero i just ignored para pumanig sakin ang diyos at gatimpalahan ako na mainclude sa mga passers. hehehe.
@optimus. yan din ang date na ineexpect ko for the release, its either lastweek of feb or early part of march. grabe lalo na akong kinakabahan..
i really thank God that I found this site. at least Im sharing my thoughts sa kapwa ko nagtake ng bar or for some lawyers na. others doesnt really know what we are all going through. they dont feel the pressure (sa katunayan dinadagdagan pa nga nila).
@ jaf. me too. wala na ako sa focus. i cant concentrate on my work, lalo nat the result will be released soon. lets just keep on praying.
hi arliss. yeah i agree. lets keep on praying that our names will be included sa list of passers. i really wanna cry, pagdating sa ganito mahina ako.. let me qoute jaf, ANG HIRAP talaga.
hopefully, my newly found friends magkita kita tyo sa PICC. with His guidance and blessings I know we will. HAVE FAITH! =)
hello to all,
any info regarding LABOR AND SOCIAL LEGISLATION subject? nahirapan din kc ako dun…
As a sort of probability, if there were considerations in the past like lowering of the passing mark or reducing DQ percentage, I think what is in the mind of the honorable chairman and his examiners is to give due consideration when deliberation on the 2009 bar exam results comes. First, we were tortured by the length and trend of the questions as a result of the first ever two-examiner rule. Second, we experienced a disastrous fortuitous event, typhoon “ondoy”, that affected the examinees’ performance. In the former, naranasan yan ng lahat, except the two-examiner rule, resulting to considerations. In the latter, tayo lang nakaranas nyan. The more reason that condsideration MUST be given. History will tell mga pards na pag pinalad tayo, we had a unique and courageous experience, aside from struggling to become lawyers….. I am truly proud of being a 2009 barista!!!
yyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
jaf,, amen to that.
GOD BLESS 2009 EXAMINEES!!
TO GOD BE THE GLORY… (“,)
goodluck and godbless to all the! waiting for the result is one of the highlights of your existence. dont know what to do, what to think, where to go and what to feel. but the moment u personally witnessed ur name appaearing on the S.C white screen, your phone wont stop ringing, youl thank everyone especially “your” God and even hug the cameraman in front of you… based on personal experience.
hail to the chiefs!
wow Atty. lyn,
hope and pray we’ll experience that too..
THANK YOU and pls do include us in your prayers.
(“,)
sa mga naghihintay, i-celebrate nyo muna valentine’s.. baka end pa ng march or first week ng april ang result.. last year, madami ding bali-balita na maaga lalabas ang bar, but as usual.. a week before or after holy week yan..
kaya, happy valentine’s day to all.. cheers!
as to the grade that you would get on a per subject basis, you can’t really predict it. those subjects that you think that you would get high grades, usually dun pa medyo mababa, tapos dun sa medyo akala nyo di okay sagot nyo, minsan dun pa mataas.
tama ka Atty.2008 Valentines Day muna hintayin natin tapos Holy Week…. mahirap din magbasa dito maraming manghuhula na kamag anak ni Jojo Acuin, Madam Auring at Rene Mariano hehehehehe…
Atty.Lyn thank U for d inspiring and uplifting message. I know may awa rin si God. Jez keep on prayin’ ka-baristerz.
tama yan mga future comapaneros, the final say is in God’s will, we all have difficulty in this year’s bar exams..Now the agony of waiting is taking its toll. I had sleepless nights he..he..but the most important part is appeal to God and in His mercy, Kc i had a friend who took the 2007 bar exams, sakto lang sa 70% ang grade nya kya nung naibaba ang passing grade kasama cya.. he was hesitant to take that bar exams, in contrast another friend took the 2006 bar exams he got a grade of 74.98% he did not took the 2007 bar but instead took the 2008 where he got a grade of 72% short of .5, things would have been different sana if he took the 2007 instead baka lawyer na cya di ba. kaya prayers talaga
Buloy, prediction lang kayang gawin at this time kc walang makakapagsabi, kailan lalabas, anong passing percentage at kung papasa kaya. Di mahirap magbasa dito kung u r a 2009 barrista. Kc they have the same feelings and interestado tlaga to know the outcome. Bka lawyer ka na o naglaw pa lang kaya di mo feel.
as for the grade per subject, in my case, 1 subj lang palya, everything else, ano expected ko, almost ganun din grade ko. sa palya lang nga, super palya, as in naging lowest grade ko siya, eh expect ko isa siya sa subjects na will pull my grade up. tsk
then again, that subject turned out to be our “killer” subject when the grades came out. so almost everyone got a not so good grade in that subject 
don’t think about the results yet, it’s possible really, just occupy yourself with something else to do. and pray pray and pray
salamat attyd!!!
sa ngayon kasi, puro haka haka kami kasi nga wala namang nakakaalam ng definite sked of release as well as the passing rate.. thank you for sharing your experience Sir. i really appreciate it. pls do include us in your prayers.. [salamat ule]
belated HAPPY VALENTINES to all.. hehehe
God Bless 2009 Barristas!!
pls help me…. i cant sleep na, just receivd a text from a frend fr manila na balita daw 10% ang dq sa poli at 20% dq sa tax… only 10% to 15% ang projected passers TAPOS B4 MARCH 15 DAW AGR RELEASE….. TOTOO BA TO? PLS HELP NINU AKO…..
Japoy & Teres,
You are welcome. ur included in my prayers. Actually i was with my friends who are also waiting, we had church visit. Prayers indeed help!
After every exam, there is a big fighting chance of everyone but as the result comes nearer, those fighting chances faded away. Di makatulog, di makakain, nagmumunimuni at binibigyan ang sarili ng pagasa. Hirap talaga. Sana matapos na ito. Everyday is kalbaryo. Basta, if it is an iron, it will sank but if it is a wood it will float. Pray pray pray na lang tau mga 2009 barista at sana madami ang pumasa.
@waitng sa davao:
as i’ve said, nobody knows the exact percentage of passers as well as to when will be the release. sa ngayon, puro haka haka lang tayo. as to the figures, wala pang assurance yan.
i understand the way you feel because we are under the same situation. lets just pray. [ask for strength and guidance]. Godbless to all of us.
@atty lun:
thank you so much po! =)
thank you japoy…
30 to 45% will be the passing rate this year. . The examiners are great and considerate. They sympathize with the examinees who notwithstanding the typhoons, the floods and ordeal brought by typhoon Ondoy and Pepeng tried to finish the 4 Sundays of one of the most difficult bar exams in the history today. True to his words, the good and kind Chair of the 2009 Bar Exams will produce many lawyers this year. A little less than the majority will successfully make it.
Ateneo, UP, San Beda will dominate again the Top 10 but less known Philippine Law School will again sneak, not one, but two of the Top 5 slots. One of the Top 10 will have a perfect score equalizing the performance made by a Jurist Bar bar topnotcher some 3 years ago. The formal announcement of the 2009 bar exam results will be made on the last Friday of March 2010. So guys stop worrying. The judgement day is near but will bring about a very positive results for all of us. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL US – THE NEW LAWYERS AND PIONEERS OF THE 2 EXAMINERS RULE!!! (hayyyyyy ang sarap mag predict)
Goodluck and Godbless 2009 bar examinees… : ))
please answer… when would be the exact possible release of the 2009 bar exam result? thank you..
March 26 @ 7pm the results will be released.
to justine jojo, ano ang source mo? are u sure na 30 to 45%? o hula lang yan…
ikaw naman, hula nga eh.
