Philippine Bar Exam in Cebu City?

Petitions are being circulated to urge the Supreme Court (SC) to hold bar examinations outside Metro Manila. Cebu is being pushed as a venue for the exams.

Dean Baldomero Estenzo of the University of Cebu College of Law said holding the bar in Metro Manila “prejudices candidates” residing in Visayas and Mindanao, because the cost of living in the capital is high.

Speaking at a Mandatory Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) seminar, he cited the effect last September’s Typhoon Ondoy had on examinees.

The floods forced a one-week extension of the test. Students from the provinces, with money just enough for the original four-week schedule, bore the added pressure of finding money.

Law students from at least three non-Manila-based law schools have signed a petition asking the SC to make the necessary changes, Estenzo said.

Two are from Cebu City, the colleges of law of the University of Cebu (UC) and the University of the Visayas (UV). One is from Mindanao, the Xavier Law School in Cagayan de Oro.

Over 60 other lawyers from the Visayas and Mindanao have signed their own petition seeking the transfer to Cebu.

The University of Cebu’s Banilad Campus, where its College of Law is based, is being offered as venue, free of charge.

Lawyer Michael Yu, Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) Cebu City Chapter president, said he will include the petition signed by the lawyers in the next board meeting.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
