“After considering the COVID-19 situation nationally and in all the testing sites, as well as receiving advice from various experts, the Supreme Court, after recommendation by the Bar Chairperson, with an abundance of caution and to assure the highest level of safety for all the bar applicants and personnel, decided to reset the Bar Examinations from November 2021 to January 16, 23, 30, and February 6, 2022.” stated the bulletin signed by Bar Exams Chairperson and Associate Justice Marvic Leonen.

According to the bulletin, while the application period will not be reopened, preparatory activities such as the selection of examination venue shall continue.
