Malacañang on Sunday urged Bar examinees to “uphold the integrity and dignity” of the legal profession, saying  that it is the “real challenge” after passing the month-long examinations.

Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo issued the statement as he wished future lawyers good luck on the first day of the Bar examinations.

“As you take another step on the ladder of your legal career, we offer you our fervent prayers. While this is certainly a test of your academic knowledge, it is likewise a yardstick of your calmness and courage under pressure,” he said.

“All these are, however, only requisites to the practice of law as the real challenge is upholding the integrity and dignity of the profession, amid all fascinations of the legal world, after you’ve taken your oaths and signed the rolls,” he added.

“Just like all other licensure examinations (but described by most as arguably the hardest), this exam for aspiring lawyers is, as they say, one of life’s great equalizers,” he said.
