President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. on Friday congratulated and urged the passers of the 2022 Bar examinations to serve the country with integrity and compassion.
 
“Congratulations to our 2022 Bar Examination passers!” Marcos said in a statement.
 
“May you always serve our nation with integrity and compassion,” he added.
 
The Supreme Court announced that a total of 3,992 out of the 9,183 examinees passed the Bar examinations held in November last year. 
 
This translates to a passing rate of 43.47%, the SC said.

According to the SC, Ateneo posted the highest passing rate (96.74%) among law schools with over a hundred candidates.
