I’m a 2nd taker.
Mistakes I believe that caused my flunking:
• no consistent study pattern and schedule
• lots of social media distraction
• DID NOT FINISH FIRST READING
• hoarding of materials (reason why I didn’t finish)
• relied on magic notes during bar exam days
As a banker based in Makati, I was part of civil society that pressured the Senate to impeach Joseph Estrada and the former President to step down. We PCIBankers are proud of Clarissa Grey who bravely testified in the Senate that Estrada signed trust documents as Joseph Velarde.
As part of the crowd that marched from Ayala to Ortigas, I am aghast at the current Senate's action to honor a deposed President accused of funds misuse. On May 2025, we should change the composition of the Senate and elect candidates who honor history and public accountability. Some members of the poor may sell their votes for measly pesos, but we the broad middle classes who toil honestly and pay taxes religiously do not like being spat at.
Don't you feel sick seeing our society going to moral decay? Don't you feel sick in the stomach seeing our leaders govern badly, treat us like shit, misuse public money, and sell our national patrimony to foreign & local groups with vested interests? Let us change things please in May 2025.
DDS claiming that they were able to score a point in the Senate. They are wrong.
Duterte admitted numerous times UNDER OATH his death squad. Legally, they are in trouble, including Bato Dela Rosa.
It's just gonna be a matter of time before they pay.

'ONLY ONE CONSISTENTLY AND STEADFASTLY STOOD UP TO PRESERVE THE DIGNITY OF THE PHILIPPINE SENATE'
Former Sen. Ping Lacson lauded Senate Deputy Minority Leader Risa Hontiveros as the "only one" who "consistently and steadfastly stood up to preserve the dignity of the Philippine Senate" during the Senate Blue Ribbon Subcommittee inquiry into former President Rodrigo Duterte's bloody war on drugs.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, October 29, Lacson remarked, "Yesterday the Upper Chamber was 'invaded' by the former president of the republic. Only one consistently and steadfastly stood up to preserve the dignity of the Philippine Senate. She happens to be a woman who answers, 'present' during a roll call. Her name: Risa Hontiveros."
Are there no decent, principled and able Filipinos willing to take on the fight to become the next mayor of the city of Manila, the city of Cebu and the city of Davao? If there aren't, residents themselves have to identify potential candidates and help them get elected to office
Combinations and Intestate Succession and some other important details which are tabled. I've been using this table since I took Wills and Succession for the first time and it's still very helpful!
