Portions of España Boulevard and Dapitan Street in Manila will be closed to all vehicles every Sunday this month to give way to the conduct of the 2016 bar exams on the University of Sto. “The liquor ban takes effect the night before the bar exams and until midnight the following day. This is to prevent previous occasions where there were members of fraternities, organizations and other associations drinking in the streets during the exam,” Coronel said. The Department of Justice then ordered the indictment of Anthony Leal Nepomuceno, an Alpha Phi Omega fraternity member, in connection with the grenade attack. Since the incident, the bar exams have been held at UST for security reasons.
