MANILA, Philippines—The result of the first-ever digitalized Bar examination will be out next week, a Supreme Court (SC) associate justice said on Tuesday.
Associate Justice Marvic Leonen, chairman of 2020/21 Bar Examination, has already asked the Supreme Court to hold a special en banc session on April 12.
In a statement, the high court’s Public Information Office said the special en banc is “for the purpose of considering his [Justice Leonen] report on the first-ever digitalized and regionalized Bar Examinations and the release of its results.
“We release the results of the Bar on April 12. Oath-taking will be for May 2,” Leonen said in a tweet.
We release the results of the Bar on April 12. Oath taking will be on May 2.
All the best for everyone. Take care of each other.#BestBarEver2020_21 #FormerBarChair https://t.co/Dd9VfesVOU

The venue, time, and other details of the oath-taking shall be announced later, the SC said.
Over 11,000 law graduates took the 2020/21 Bar examination conducted for the first time in 31 testing sites located in 22 local government units all over the country.
Unlike before that, it was a month-long examination, because of the pandemic, the examination was conducted for two days—February 4 and 6, 2022.
If the release of examination results will push through, this will be the fastest turnover of results.
Usually before, the examination is conducted in either September or November and the result of which will be out either April or May the following year.
