BACOLOD CITY -- A total of 19 examinees from the two law schools in this city passed the 2018 Bar examinations held in November, results released by the Supreme Court (SC) on Friday showed.
The University of St. La Salle (USLS) College of Law-Bar Operations Committee and the University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos (UNO-R) School of Law each posted the list of their successful examinees in their respective Facebook pages.
There were 13 passers from USLS, including Mariz Andraneda, Johnnil Fatima Acero, Kim Andaya, Anthony Isidro Bayawa IV, Carla Ann de la Peña, Ciro de la Cruz, Joelle Erika Fernando, Jose Luis Guatelara, Mary Jovilyn Mauricio, Patrick Jason Palma, Czarina Letecia Rubica, Joshua William Su, and Charisse Tomaro.
“Thank you everyone for your cheer, support and encouragement,” Dean Roseann Juliana Gonzaga of the USLS College of Law said in her Facebook account in response to the congratulatory messages.
The number of passers from USLS this year is higher than the previous year’s 12, but the school has not produced a topnotcher in the current batch.
Last year, class valedictorian Mark John Simondo topped the 2017 Bar examinations.
Simondo, the lone USLS graduate and among the four from the Visayas who landed in the top 10, garnered an average of 91.05 percent to clinch the top spot and became the first from Bacolod to place number one in the Bar examinations.
Meanwhile, this year’s six passers from UNO-R included Patrick Jon Bañas, Jamie Geolingo, Juniven Rey Umadhay, Marcus AurelianVaflor, Pengie Me Vallega and Christopher Henry Yap.
Bar committee chairman Senior Associate Justice Mariano del Castillo said 8,155 finished all the eight subjects in the bar examinations out of the 8,701 takers.
Only 1,800 or 22.07 percent successfully hurdled the tests, with Ateneo de Manila University’s Sean James Borja emerging as the topnotcher.
Others in the top 10 were Marcley Augustus B. Natu-el (University of San Carlos), Mark Lawrence C. Badayos (University of San Carlos), Daniel John A. Fordan (Ateneo de Manila University), Katrina Monica C. Gaw (Ateneo de Manila University), Nadaine F. Tongco (University of the Philippines), Patricia O. Sevilla (University of the Philippines), Kathrine T. Ting (Dela Salle University), Jebb Lynius Q. Cane and Alen Joel Pita (both of University of San Carlos).
The new lawyers will take their oath on June 13 at the Philippine International Convention Center in Pasay City. (PNA)
