This year’s Bar Exam top-notchers attest to the excellence of law schools outside of Metro Manila and way outside of the chi chi circle of legal eagle elites produced by the University of the Philippines and the Ateneo. This is a good outcome and indicates a more level playing field as far as Law education […]
Commission on Elections (COMELEC) Commissioner Rowena Guanzon is obviously not a very classy person. When you are privileged to have earned an excellent education from an excellent school, you do not use that as a means to put down other people.
