TO THE BARRISTERS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN PHILIPPINES:

The Bar Exam is not an ordinary examination in school. It is, as its name tells, the bar -the standard in order to achieve the license to practice. However, this bar is also the mile one must cross should he or she desires to change the world. Lawyers change the world when they make love prevail over hatred, justice over injustice, duty over

expediency. We change the world by love and “love is the fulfilment of the law.” (Romans 13:10). Be motivated by this resolve and let your fervor be your source of inspiration.

I strongly believe and attest that this noble institution has prepared you to meet the demands of this day and I hinge my hopes in the fact that you have primed yourselves well in your own capacities for this moment. I believe in you and in your relentless quest for excellence. You too, must believe that you have prepared well enough and have spent a considerable amount of time out of love for this profession which you wish to attain.

This level of sacrifice merits success.

After being convinced that you have done your part well enough, surrender everything to God and allow him to be The One who will “will fight for you” (Deuteronomy 1:30) through the demands and battles of the days ahead.

Atty. Jonalyn Almachar

Board Secretary, UNP

TO THE BARRISTERS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN PHILIPPINES:

In every journey or race, the homestretch is and will always prove the hardest. This is the law on attrition. The constant pressure and physical exhaustion, coupled with the stress brought by the Covid-19 pandemic, will wear you out, drain all your energy, shatter your determination and will into pieces and, in fact, at some point during the examinations, you will feel like quitting, but lo and behold, you have reached this far, a point where there is no more turning back. Continue surging forward with no surrender; regroup if necessary. Muster all your strength for the FINAL PUSH. Your determination today will define your place in the society for the rest of your life.

~Judge Homer Jay Ragonjan

TO THE BARRISTERS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN PHILIPPINES:

You have waited for long and prepared well for this Bar Exam. It is your time to shine. Focus and be determined to give your best efforts in the exam. Believe in yourselves.

Many fear to take the bar exams. Your decision to take it is already a great achievement. Yet there can be a greater one. Pursue your goal. There is nothing to lose but only to gain. You will either become your same self or a better you. Beat your old self. Your success is waving at you. Go claim it!

TO THE BARRISTERS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN PHILIPPINES

Future brethren in the profession, conquer your fear, be calm and enjoy your examinations. Remember that we need you to administer justice and fulfill our duties not only to our clients but also to the courts, the profession, and the public.

Your law school journey was the survival of the fittest. The mere fact that you were able to handle successfully and overcome the emotional and mental struggles of law school is a testament to your grit, dedication, and hard work. Let that jumpstart you in your pursuit of becoming a full-fledged lawyer. Always keep the end goal in mind. Hold on to what inspired and motivated you to reach this far. Have faith and believe in yourself. You are not there for no reason. Let your faith, dream, and passion drive you to achieve your goal.

Dear barristers, you suffered a lot of mind-twisting experiences in your law journeys like a lonely tree amid unending storms, like a thirsty chameleon that landed on a deserted island of sufferings and struggles. But it all makes sense when you face the last challenge to get the so-called A-T-T-Y dot; be guided by the shore of hope and power of faith, pray, believe, and trust in yourselves that you can defeat and hurdle the BAR Exam Dragon.

Soon, you will be living your life-long dream future paneros and paneras.

~Atty. Kent Alvin L. Guzman

TO THE BARRISTERS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN PHILIPPINES:

Do not let the difficulties brought about by this pandemic let you lose your focus. Remember what you have been through and why you are doing this. Use the emotion to fuel yourselves and build up your courage to face this challenge head on. You have done your part. You did all that you can do to prepare. You are now ready. The only thing for you to do is to face it. So, believe in yourselves and go!

Take a deep breath, dig deep, give it everything you have and then some! So that when you look back at this experience you won’t have any regrets but only faith that you will become lawyers someday. Good luck UNP barrister

~Atty. Giovani Baquiran

To our dear Barristers,

Do not fear taking the bar exams. Do not even doubt yourself. You have gone this far. Be excited instead. This will be your ultimate battle. Soon, you will have that one “dot” to complete your ATTY. title.

Walk through that exam room door with confidence. Keep the faith. The moment you hold your ballpen, remember to look up above and silently ask “Him” to send the Holy Spirit upon you. Then bow down and start to think like a lawyer, answer like a lawyer.

Tell to yourself, “My name is ATTY. __________!” CLAIM IT! Remember, THERE IS A POWER IN YOUR TONGUE! GOODLUCK my soon to be panyeros and panyeras!!!

– Your Ate Tala
