Thomasian places fifth in Bar exams; UST hikes passing rate
Feb. 29, 7:09 p.m. - A THOMASIAN made it to the Top 10 of the Bar examinations for the first time in a nearly a decade, while UST’s passing rate jumped to 88.52% in what has become a doubly memorable Quadricentennial year for the Faculty of Civil Law.
Christian Louie Gonzales got a score of 84.09 percent, placing fifth and ending UST’s nine-year drought in the Top 10 of the Bar exams.
Taking into account only first-timers, UST posted a passing rate of 88.52 percent as 54 out of 61 first-time examinees made the cut. Faculty Secretary Arthur Capili said the official passing rate of UST has yet to be released by the Office of the Bar Confidant of the Supreme Court. In 2010, UST had a passing rate of 68 percent, as only 70 out of 103 aspirants passed the exam.
The Bar exams were held in UST, the country’s oldest law school, last November for the first time.
Leading this year’s Bar exam passers is Raoul Angelo Atadero (85.53 percent) of Ateneo de Manila, who was followed by another Ateneo student Luz Danielle Bolong (84.56 percent), Cherry Liez Rafal-Roble (84.46 percent) of Arellano University, and Rosemil Bañaga (84.12 percent) of Notre Dame University.
The national passing rate, meanwhile, went up to 31.95 percent – the "second-highest passing rate in the millennium" – from 2010’s 20.26 percent. A total of 1,913 out of 5,987 examinees passed, an improvement from 982 out of 4,847 the previous year.
“The results of the recent Bar exams indeed confirm that UST belongs to the premiere law schools in the country and that the collective efforts of the academic officials, faculty, and students to further improve our performance in the Bar exams are paying off,” Civil Law Dean Nilo Divina said in a text message sent to the Varsitarian.
Supreme Court Associate Justice Roberto Abad, a former UST law dean, headed the 2011 Bar Committee. Major changes were made to the Bar exams, such as the adoption of multiple-choice questions in the first three exams days and essay-type questions in the last day. Multiple-choice questions had a weight of 60 percent while essay questions were weighted 40 percent.
The exam schedule was moved to November from September for the first time in two decades to prepare for the new system.
In a press release, Abad said the Supreme Court introduced changes in the Bar exams “to exert pressure on law schools to re-examine the substance and shape of legal education.”
“First, by asking multiple choice questions or MCQs in the Bar exams, the Court has put a stop to the practice of requiring students to memorize the law and its principles. Second, with the help of the academe, the Supreme Court has redefined the objective of the Bar exams and the competence and skills that they should measure. Third, we have begun giving essay-type problems in the Bar examinations that would measure the candidate’s depth of learning and intelligence.”
The successful examinees will take their oaths on March 21 at the Philippine International Convention Center.
The last time a Thomasian entered the Bar Top 10 was when Arlene Maneja placed first in 2002. Thomasians Carla Sta. Maria placed fifth in 1994 while Benigno Par placed fourth in 1998. In 2000, Prudence Angelita Kasala placed eight.
Before Arlene Maneja, Diosdado Macapagal and Roberto Concepcion topped the Bar in 1936 and 1924, respectively. Rafael L. Antonio

“I’m really surprised. I really couldn’t believe it at first since I did not graduate top of the class,” said Gonzales in an email sent to the Varsitarian. “I was never part of the dean’s list when I was in law school.”
Gonzales, who is also a certified public accountant, finished Accountancy at the Union Christian College in La Union in 2004.
Leading this year’s bar exam passers is Raoul Angelo Atadero of Ateneo de Manila University (85.53 percent). Following him are fellow Ateneo student Luz Danielle Bolong (84.56 percent), Cherry Liez Rafal-Roble of Arellano University (84.46 percent), and Rosemil Bañaga of Notre Dame University in Cotabato City (84.12 percent), who placed second, third, and fourth, respectively.
The national passing rate, meanwhile, rose to 31.95 percent—the second-highest in the last decade—from 20.26 percent in 2010. A total of 1,913 out of 5,987 examinees passed, a significant improvement from the previous year’s 982 out of 4,847.

“The results of the recent bar exams confirmed that UST indeed belongs to the premiere law schools in the country,” Civil Law Dean Nilo Divina said, adding that the collective efforts of academic officials, faculty members, and students to boost UST’s performance in the bar exams are paying off.
Civil Law conducted mock bar examinations, which adopted multiple-choice questions and memorandum writing a year before the examinations to familiarize students with the new system, Divina said.
He added that Civil Law continues to lure top students from other colleges and universities through scholarship grants.
“If we’re able to attract best students from the undergraduate courses, it’s very possible [for UST] to have consistent bar topnotchers and the passing percentage would likewise increase significantly [in the coming years],” Divina said.
Since 2010, about 90 freshmen and sophomore students have been enjoying the scholarship grants, which also cover books and housing subsidies. Last June, Civil Law alumnus Reginaldo Oben donated P2 million to the faculty’s scholarship fund.
In a press release, Abad said the Supreme Court introduced changes in the bar exams “to exert pressure on law schools to re-examine the substance and shape of legal education.”
“First, by asking multiple choice questions or MCQs in the bar exams, the Court has put a stop to the practice of requiring students to memorize the law and its principles.

UST posts 48.6 percent passing rate in Bar exams
22 March 2013, 6:37 p.m. - LESS THAN half of examinees from the Faculty of Civil Law passed the Bar exams, as the national passing rate plunged to the second lowest in history in what was described by the dean himself as a "bloodbath."
UST posted a 48.57-percent passing rate, with only 34 out of 70 examinees making the cut. Among the 34 who passed, 31 were first-time takers.
The national passing rate plummeted to 17.76 percent, equivalent to 949 out of 5,343 examinees, the lowest since 2000 and the second lowest passing rate in history.
Leading this year’s new batch of lawyers is Ignatius Michael Ingles (85.64%) from Ateneo de Manila, followed by another Ateneo student, Catherine Beatrice King Kay (84.72), and April Carmela Lacson (84.48) from University of the Philippines.
Former Varsitarian editor in chief Nicolo Bernardo and features writer Tanya Justine Baldovino were among those who hurdled the Bar.
“Based on preliminary indications we should still be in the top six or seven. It is sad but the bloodbath is all over, not only for UST but also for other schools. While we may have gotten lower scores compared with the previous years, it is still better compared with many law schools,” Civil Law Dean Nilo Divina said in an interview.
Divina said the 2012 Bar examination was hard compared with the previous examinations. Only two percent of Bar candidates passed Remedial Law, which accounted for 20 percent of the examination.
Associate Justice Martin Villarama, Bar exams committee head, earlier announced that the Supreme Court had lowered the cut-off score to 70 percent from 75 percent due to the poor results.
Divina said two justices proposed to lower the passing score to 68 percent, but were outvoted by the majority.
If the cut-off score was retained at 75 percent, only 343 of the 5,343 examinees would have made the cut. Villarama attributed the low passing rate to multiple-choice questions (MCQ), which was 60 percent of the exam. This year, the Supreme Court has decided to revert to the original format of 80 percent essay questions and 20 percent MCQ.
The 2012 Bar examination was held for the second consecutive year in UST last October. UST will remain host of the 2013 Bar examinations due to positive feedback from different Law deans.
The successful Bar candidates will have their oath-taking on April 24 at the Philippine International Convention Center. Nikka Lavinia G. Valenzuela
