I think, if my recollection serves me correctly, only during World War II was the Bar postponed, and I think the pandemic has the same disruption – degree of disruption – as a world war. There are a lot of people that have been infected and a lot of people are casualties in this pandemic,” Leonen, the chairperson for the next Bar exam said in a virtual forum on Saturday. “But let me say this for the Bar applicants: First, keep your family and your supporters close, take care of them; second, take care of yourself; third, this gives you an opportunity to study more and study well so that we will top the best Bar ever conducted by the Bar chair for the next Bar exam,” Leonen said. The SC previously announced that the Bar exam will be held in two venues: Manila and Cebu City. This will be the first time the bar exams will be conducted in two venues.
