To date, there are appeals on social media for the SC to move the upcoming Bar examinations after tropical storm Paeng wreaked havoc in the country during the weekend, leaving over a hundred dead.

Last Monday, the SC said it has yet to confirm a formal request for rescheduling the Bar exam.

Hosaka said 9,916 examinees is expected to take the Bar. The number is down from the originally approved 10.075 applicants.
