00:00Join us, Tuklasin, to see how being a lawyer can be a success in a field full of challenges and opportunities.

00:08Let's take a look.

00:13These are the people outside the Supreme Court,

00:16offices, and prisons whenever the results of the bar examinations are released.

00:21Are you one of those dreaming of becoming a lawyer?

00:24How hard is it to study law in the Philippines?

00:28How long?

00:29How expensive?

00:31According to an article published by an international education and legal blog,

00:36the Philippine Bar Examinations is the fourth most difficult bar examinations in the world.

00:42Its lowest passing rate in the country was recorded in 1999 at 16.59%.

00:50Meanwhile, in 1954, the highest passing rate was recorded at 75.17%.

00:57Aside from being difficult, it is also financially challenging to study law.

01:03Aside from four years in college, you need to study for another four to five years in law school.

01:10In the new curriculum released by the Legal Education Board,

01:13a law student needs to complete a minimum of 135 units.

01:18The tuition for private universities is estimated to be between Php 50,000 to Php 130,000 per semester.

01:27Aside from this, there are also allowances and books that you need to study.

01:31After that, you need to pass the bar exams.

01:34This process takes up to three days.

01:37It remains digitized and regionalized.

01:41Political law, public and international laws,

01:46commercial and taxation laws, civil law, criminal law, and others are aligned with the bar subjects.

01:50You need a 75% general average before you pass the exam.

01:56The score should not drop below 50% in all bar exams.

02:00According to Rule 1-8 of the Rules of Court,

02:03a bar candidate only has three chances to pass the bar.

02:08If he fails three times, he can still take the exam,

02:11but he needs to enroll again for the review subjects.

02:14It's not a joke to be a lawyer.

02:17Aside from the fatigue, time, and money it requires,

02:20you need to know the reason why you chose this profession.

02:25Aside from the title that will be added to your name,

02:29it is your responsibility to maintain the power of law and justice.

02:39The bar exam is one of the most important subjects

02:42for those who want to become lawyers in the Philippines.

02:45It is also one of the most difficult subjects

02:49that requires deep knowledge and dedication.

02:54In the continuation of the bar exam,

02:57to give us important tips on how to pass the bar exam,

03:00we will be joined by two talented lawyers and law professors,

03:05Atty. Dianne Lim and Atty. Roel Ilagan.

03:08Good morning and welcome to Rise and Shine Philippines.

03:10Good morning. Welcome to Rise and Shine Philippines.

03:12You mentioned the talented ones.

03:14In fact, during their law school days,

03:18Atty. Roel graduated top two of his batch in San Beda, Lututorian.

03:23Atty. Dianne is the first honorable mention top three.

03:26These are the ones who are really good at recitation in law school.

03:31They said that the preparation for the bar actually starts on the first day of law school.

03:37Atty. Roel, I want to know what did you do when you were still studying in San Beda?

03:42What really helped you in preparing for the bar?

03:44Definitely, the bar review starts not during the bar review season,

03:49but definitely it will start on your day one in law school.

03:52So me, instead of focusing on memorizing the legal provisions,

03:57I focus on understanding and grasping the essence of the law.

04:01So every time there are provisions, I think, why is the law like this?

04:05I always go back to the spirit and the reason behind the law.

04:08I always ask, if the law is like this, what is the reason behind it?

04:12Because if we focus on memorizing legal provisions,

04:15we have to understand, we have a short term memory.

04:17If we have a memory now, the following day we will forget.

04:21But we will remember the law if we know the reason why the law is like this.

04:26So I focus on that.

04:27So I brought it to the bar exam and even in practice.

04:30Okay, so find the wisdom in the law.

04:33You know that he understands the law.

04:35Not just memorization.

04:36Atty. Lim, how about you?

04:37For me, in addition to what Atty. Roel said,

04:40I have three things to live by during my law school days.

04:45First is prayer.

04:47I believe that your prayer should be specific so that the Lord will give it to you.

04:52So every day, my prayer is to pass my law school subjects on first take.

04:58Second, since I'm a working student, I have to study.

05:03So every time I have free time, I will study.

05:07And lastly, good deeds.

05:08Of course, whatever you plant, it will grow.

05:11So just help.

05:13Aside from the good feeling of helping, it will also come back to you.

05:18So pay it forward in law school.

05:20How about you, friends?

05:22For example, if you have food, do you bring your own food?

05:26Because sometimes, when we have a get-together, we bring our own food.

05:30That's true.

05:31Even when we have a family occasion, we study.

05:36Tell us about your bar exam experience.

05:40During those times, when the bar exam is nearing, you can't talk to each other,

05:45you don't get enough sleep, you're always at the church.

05:48What is your experience like?

05:51For me, it's always been my principle to strike a good balance

05:56between studying hard and also having a good life.

06:00So even during my bar exam review, I make sure that I also enjoy life.

06:05For me, it's very important that when you're a barista, you should have a good mental well-being.

06:11Because your ability to comprehend and understand what you're reading

06:15heavily relies on your mental disposition.

06:18If you feel tired, burned out, it will affect your performance.

06:22Instead of reading the material, for example, for one hour,

06:25because you're tired, you think life is negative,

06:28you'll read it for two hours.

06:30So it's important to me that I do self-care.

06:33After I work out or go to the gym, it's easier for me to understand what I'm reading.

06:38That's what I did, and it was effective for me.

06:41That is also what bar examiners should do.

06:44Because people think,

06:47okay, I'll watch a movie, I'll lose one hour, I won't be able to read 100 pages.

06:52But they don't think that it's important that you have a good disposition,

06:56you feel good about yourself.

06:58So your performance is better in studying the material.

07:01So they're mentally ready.

07:03That's true.

07:04So life should be balanced.

07:06The gym and work-out are in disarray during bar review.

07:10How was your experience at the bar?

07:12For me, that's right.

07:14You should be in the right headspace.

07:16I remember when I was reviewing, I was told by Dean Ted,

07:20the incumbent vice president,

07:22that I was even able to meet him at the mall.

07:24He said, you have a strong desire to go to the mall.

07:27I said, it's just a quick dinner, Dean.

07:29You have to have a break in between studying.

07:32That's what you need.

07:34So at least you have a fresh mind to read, to review.

07:39Can I add something?

07:41Do you do this on your own,

07:43or do you have the support of your family and close friends?

07:47Definitely.

07:48You definitely need support.

07:50Your support group.

07:52Because you need it.

07:54Your experience with them is different.

07:56For example, you were brought during the bar exam.

07:58Of course, you need to be more confident.

08:00You need love and support.

08:03You need everything from them.

08:05I agree with that.

08:06So you have to have a strong support group

08:09that will tell you that you are not alone in this journey.

08:13Because it's so tiring to review.

08:15So first, you need to choose a friend who will motivate you.

08:19Because if you're surrounded by negative people,

08:22meaning all of you are like,

08:24I can't do this anymore, I'm going to defer next year,

08:26you're going to fail at the same time.

08:28So you need to choose your support group.

08:30Someone who will also motivate you to pursue your dream.

08:34That's right.

08:35Because when we cover the results of the bar exam,

08:38the family and friends cry.

08:41It's like you're with them in the hard times.

08:43Alright, I want to know,

08:44are there common mistakes that examiners should avoid,

08:47Atty. Roel?

08:49There are a lot.

08:51Because first of all,

08:53especially now, there are a lot of examiners for each subject.

08:57So the first thing that examiners think about is,

09:00who is the bar examiner?

09:01They will look for all the materials of a certain professor.

09:05There are a lot of materials.

09:07You can't finish your original materials.

09:10You will add additional materials.

09:13That will be the cause of additional stress to you.

09:15Especially if you can't focus.

09:17So my suggestion is,

09:18focus on the materials that you used during law school,

09:21bring them back,

09:23and then focus on the subjects that you are weak at.

09:26Because the bar exam really is about foundation.

09:29If you have a good foundation in law school,

09:31then the bar exam will be easier for you.

09:34How about you, Atty. A?

09:35I agree.

09:36Because right now, the materials are readily available.

09:40So while in the middle of reading a material,

09:45that professor will come out,

09:47they will switch.

09:48So in the end, they won't be able to finish the materials.

09:51Which will not be helpful.

09:53Because it's better to finish the syllabus,

09:55the bar syllabus,

09:56than to only study half of it.

09:59So you won't be able to focus.

10:01But again,

10:02that's the foundation.

10:03Your review starts on the first day of your law school.

10:06Okay.

10:07Do you have go-to food during the bar review?

10:09That helps you study.

10:10All coffee.

10:11Because usually,

10:13at Starbucks or other coffee shops,

10:16there are a lot of people reviewing.

10:18Yes, there are a lot of people studying.

10:19Do you have any activities to help you study?

10:23Do you have anything like that?

10:24Coffee and sweets.

10:26To wake up early.

10:27Same.

10:28Same.

10:29I spend half of my day at home.

10:31So what I do,

10:32it's also part of my routine.

10:34I relax.

10:35I make myself a cup of coffee.

10:37Okay.

10:38So last day of the bar exam,

10:40the Marvelous Bar on Sunday.

10:42Any final tips for those who will take the bar exam?

10:44Any message to them?

10:47To all the bar examinees,

10:49you are near the finish line.

10:51Okay.

10:52And this is the last week

10:53and probably the most challenging week for you.

10:55Okay.

10:56And if things will get difficult,

10:58as they say,

10:59you always go back to your big why.

11:01Okay.

11:02It means you always go back to the reason

11:04and your motivation for taking up law.

11:07Okay.

11:08So this is what you should hold on to

11:09and bring with you in this bar exam journey.

11:12And also,

11:13of course,

11:14as mentioned earlier,

11:15you have to pay it forward.

11:16Okay.

11:17As they say,

11:18to whom much is given,

11:19much is expected.

11:20When you become a lawyer,

11:22you'll be given a lot of opportunities.

11:24But you also must give back to the people.

11:27So,

11:28just to plug in,

11:29IBP,

11:30Integrated Bar of the Philippines,

11:31Quezon City,

11:32we have a lot of legal aid activities.

11:34So we conduct barangay legal aid caravan.

11:37So we will invite also the members.

11:40Now we provide free legal aid.

11:41Every week,

11:42we go to the barangay.

11:43We provide legal aid consultation.

11:45This is pro bono, right?

11:46Pro bono.

11:47Okay.

11:48So we have to give back.

11:49Yes.

11:50Pay it forward.

11:51Plus, you're also professors.

11:52You're also mentors.

11:53Attorney Day.

11:54To all Marvelous Bar Reviewees,

11:57you've already made all the preparations.

11:59All you have to do is believe

12:01that you will take the oath

12:03and sign the roll come January.

12:05Just my favorite Bible verse,

12:07Mark 11, 24,

12:09Whatever you ask for in prayer,

12:11believe that you have received it

12:13and it will be yours.

12:14So, good luck, future Panyero and Panyeras.

12:16Good luck to those who are getting

12:18from San Sebastian.

12:19Yes.

12:20Good luck.

12:21Well, thank you so much

12:23for your helpful tips.

12:24Not only to those who will get this year,

12:26even to future bar exams.

12:28They can come back

12:29so they can ace the bar examinations.

12:31Thank you,

12:32Attorney Dayan Liv

12:33and Attorney Roel Ilagan.
