ADMU student tops 2011 bar exams

At least 1,913 candidates have successfully passed the 2011 bar examinations, the Supreme Court said Wednesday.

Raoul Angelo D. Atadero of the Ateneo de Manila University topped the bar examinations, Justice Robert Abad told an excited throng of bar examinees.
Luz Bolong of ADMU placed second, Cherry Rafal-Roble of Arellano University placed 3rd, followed by Rosemil BaƱaga of Notre Dame University.
Abad said out of over 6,000 candidates, 1/3 passed the exams. He said in the multiple choice part, 34 percent passed while half of the total number of examinees passed the legal opinion essay. Only 15 percent passed the trial memorandum.
Chief Justice Renato Corona earlier appeared before the public that have assembled at the Supreme Court as they await the results.
"Sa successful, my heartfelt congratulations to you. Sa kinapos ng konti sa average, there's always a next time, huwag kayo mawawalan ng pagasa," said Corona, who also boasted of reforms in bar exams under his watch.
"We will continue to refine the bar examinations," said Corona.
