MANILA, Philippines — With the impending release of the 2018 Bar exam result Friday, the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) has invited passers to heed the call of public service and join its ranks.
According to OSG, it has invited the “brightest lawyers” to work in the agency, which, it noted, is the “finest training ground” for members of the legal profession.
“Since 2016, Bar topnotchers joined the OSG in droves,” OSG said in a statement.
“We encourage bar passers to heed the call of public service and join the OSG in its pursuit of social justice as the Defender of the Republic and Tribune of the People,” it added.
