It's only 1,310 that passed from the 6,364 that tried their best in the 2008 Bar examinations last September 7, 14, 21 and 28 for 2008 which was held in De La Salle University Taft Avenue, Manila.
Justice Dante Tinga, Chair of the 2008 Committee on Bar Examinations also said that the number only pertains to about 20.58% examinees. This is still a low passing rate even if they already lowered the passing percentage but they feel that the exam was really also harder in this set.
The bar topnotcher is Atty. Judy A. Lardizabal of San Sebastian College Law School that got 85.70%. Her parents are sure to be proud of her.
Aside from Lardizabal, included in the top 10 list are:
