    Senior Associate Justice Estela Perlas-Bernabe announced that the passing rate for the 2019 Bar Exam has been lowered from 75% to 74%.

    The Bar Exam chairperson said this decision came in light of considerations for more younger and technologically adept lawyers as the country faces the COVID-19 pandemic and transitions into the "new normal."

    This year's passing rate is higher than last year's 22.07%.

    The 2019 Bar exams were held at the University of Santo Tomas (UST) during all four Sundays of November.

    The two-examiner policy per subject was re-adopted "in order to promote operational efficiency in light of the notable increase in number of admitted candidates in recent years."

    The examinable subjects are: Political Law and Public International Law (15%), Labor and Social Legislation (10%), Civil Law (15%), Taxation (10%), Mercantile Law (15%), Criminal Law (10%), Remedial Law (20%) and Legal and Judicial Ethics (5%).
