Congrats to UP for having five in the top ten in 2013 bar exams with Nielson Pangan as No.1.  1.Nielsen G. Pangan (UP),
2 Mark Xavier Oyales (UP), Dianna Louise R. Wilwayco (AdeMU),
3.Rudy v. Ortea (U Batangas),
4.Eden Catherine B. Mopia (UP),
5.Tercel Mara Mercado-Gephart (USC),
6.Manuel Elijah J. Sarausad (U Cebu),
7Latrine Paula V.Suyat (SBC-Manila),
8,Michael T. Tiu Jr. (UP),
9. Marjorie Ivory S. Fulgueras (AdeMU), and
10. Cyril G. Arnesto (UP).

A total of 1,174 aspiring lawyers passed the exams, comprising 22.18% of the examinees. The percentage of successful examinees is higher than the 17.76% who passed the 2012 exams, representing 949 out of a total 5,343 bar takers.

.A total of 5,293 examinees hurdled the four Sundays of the exams, from the original 5,593 who were admitted to take them in October last year. According to the Supreme Court, 5,641 law graduates applied for the 2013 Bar exams.


 The challenge remains on how to keep UP the great law school as it was envisioned in Justice Holme's immortal words engraved at the institution's Malcolm Hall lobby:

THE BUSINESS OF A LAW SCHOOL IS NOT SUFFICIENTLY DESCRIBED WHEN YOU MERELY SAY THAT IT IS TO TEACH LAW OR TO MAKE LAWYERS IT IS TO TEACH LAW IN THE GRAND MANNER, AND TO MAKE GREAT LAWYERS.
