268 Useful Introductory Lines

(May also be used in making pleadings)
To my mind, the four year (or more) law study of a Bar
candidate is more than sufficient to at least hurdle the Bar,
if not top it. But that is on the assumption that the Bar
aspirant has been a diligent law student, meaning he/she
has religiously studied every subject of the course.
I made this to be of help to law graduates who will be
taking the Bar in the near future. All of them for sure know
the law. After all, perhaps it would be safe to presume, that
they will not graduate if they did not deserve to. Taking the
Bar and answering every question given by the Honorable
Bar examiners are not based solely in knowing the law.
I think that you would agree with me that it is more of
HOW TO EFFECTIVELY CONVEY
to the examiner (thru the test booklet answers) that the Bar
candidate knows the applicable law and how should it be
properly applied in the given scenario. Appropriate usage
of introductory words and statements are great factors, to
the point I guess that it would appear that as if we know
the law, when in truth and in fact,
we do not or that we have forgotten the same
Lets admit it, it is hard to know all the answers in a given
Bar exam. Well, that is perfectly normal.
But do not ever get discouraged.
Familiarize yourself with these introductory lines
Answering the Bar will then flow smoothly as it should be.
- Atty. Rey C. Tatad, Jr.
WHY READ THIS?

Imagine a test booklet with same introductory answer The law provides from
answer to question no. 1 to answer to the nth question. It is boring to read right? If you
are the one who will check such test booklet, chances are, your enthusiasm in
checking it might lessen as you go about the docket of booklets
Hence, these useful introductory lines were culled from Supreme Court decided
cases and compiled for anybodys consumption.

DISTINCTION
When being asked to distinguish, do not state its definition. If you give its definition,
you are in effect asking the examiner to extract out the differences of the two [or more]
from your definition. Do not also give their similarities. You are asked to differentiate
and contrast, so similarities are not included (That was a tip I learned from my
professor in Civil Law Review I, Atty. Virgilio Gesmundo).The number of distinctions
you will give must also be proportionate on the points allotted for such. If it is only worth
two points, do not give 8 distinctions. The examiner cannot give you 8 points for that
. For a two point distinction question, perhaps, three would be enough (four is not
too much).

because it sounds good and professional to state, in the case at bar/bench, we must
not forget that the cases given in the Bar are only theoretical. The statements in the

MY PERSONAL ADVICE FOR FUTURE BAR CANDIDATES

DURING THE REVIEW
Always pray before and after studying.
Turn off your cellular phones. (Turn it on only during your break). Most or a
significant part of our time reviewing is sometimes spent on non-sense (or not so
important) texting-replying-texting-replying. There is a time for everything. But when
you review, avoid interruptions. Cellular phone, believe me, is one of the major
interruptions. Although it is hard, why not sacrifice a little for the sake of being a
lawyer.
Believe in yourself. If you will not, then who do you expect would believe in you.
(Tip from Sir Bubut Cayco)
Choose a study buddy if you want. But sometimes it is better that you do not have
one. More study buddies, more interruptions (more kwento). Without you knowing
it, tapos na araw or September na.
Before starting your review, be sure that the tension has already subsided.
(Specifically starting the month of July when tensions really soars high for most Bar
candidates) Bear in mind that we can comprehend more if we are in a relaxed state
of mind.
Set your own pace. Do not compare your pace with others (like asking others,
ilang reading ka na?) This is not a rat race. Quality reading (studying/reviewing
actually) is what is needed. Bar does not dwell on the amount of pages/books you
have read, it is more of how much you have mastered.
Do not memorize without comprehending. When mental block occurs, you cannot
recall even a single thing. Moreover, in applying the law in a given theoretical case
problem, for sure you can hardly answer the same if you have memorized without
understanding.
Do not highlight the entire reviewer Sometimes, the problem with highlighting is
that it becomes our security blanket that we have read and understood what we
have read. But more often, we have not.
Page 12 of 15

BAR EXAM Answers

When you have a query or some matters in mind that needs clarification, just write
it in a piece of paper, pag marami na, ask it to a professor you believe is competent
in that field. Dont ask your co-barristers. It might only end in a debate and waste of
time, when no reliable answer is concluded. Remember, time is precious during the
pre-bar review.
Set one day for recreations alone. It could rejuvenate your energy and create
hunger for review the following day.
Attend to the needs of your entire being. Physically, mentally, emotionally and
spiritually. This will also help you avoid being exhausted in the review.
Take vitamins and take your meals on time.
BEFORE THE BAR EXAM PROPER

Make sure you have enough and complete sleep. A well rested mind can answer
and articulate better.
Pray
Review the material you personally believe is a good last minute tip for you.
Compose yourself, your mind, heart and spirit. Focus on the exam alone and not on
the fear of failing. Stop or reduce your tension. Tension is normal, as long as it is at
a moderate level. After all, you will already be taking the bar, no turning back. So
might as well do your best. And you can only perform well if you are in a composed
mind and heart. (I suggest you close your eyes. Inhale then exhale as you count
one to ten. It might help)
Boost your confidence by telling yourself Walang (your surname) na di magaling.
Or tell yourself What kind of celebration will I do if I top or at least pass the bar? at
least you might laugh kahit kabado
DURING THE BAR EXAM PROPER
I suggest that before answering, formulate on your mind what will be placed on
your first, second and third paragraphs. The first paragraph normally contains a
one-sentence direct to the point answer to the question. The second paragraph
commonly contains legal basis (provision of law in point, jurisprudence, co-relation
of the jurisprudence/provision with the facts of the case and application). Third
paragraph normally contains the conclusion. When you are already decided of your
answer, write it according to your thoughts. In this approach, you will not only be
avoiding unnecessary revisions and erasures, you will also maintain the cleanliness
of your booklet. Bear in mind that, a dirty booklet is irritating to the eyes of the
person checking the same.
Allocate the time depending on the number of questions.
Page 13 of 15

BAR EXAM Answers

Answer each question one at a time. Focus on one question before thinking or
bothering yourself of the succeeding questions.
Do not stay in a number for so long. Leave at least a sheet for a 5point question.
Go to the next number if you do not know the answer. If I am not mistaken, more
than one (1) bar candidate had not succeeded because of stocking himself / herself
in an item he/she does not know the answer of. As a necessary result, he/she failed
to finish the exam. As one of my friends told me, No matter how grossly wrong
your answer may be, do not ever leave an item unanswered. Malay mo, may points
for the effort/ink Kidding aside, a blank sheet will surely get an automatic 0 point.
So better answer all.
Dont blame yourself or dont panic if you failed to answer an item or two. Its
perfectly normal. What is abnormal is if you failed to answer questions that you
know the answer of just because you bothered/blamed yourself so much on the
items you dont know. In short, if you failed to finish the exam.
As my professor Atty. Francis Sababan told us before, mga bata, avoid passing
your booklet too early. The time allocated for each subject may be too much, but it
must be used wisely to: (1) write legibly, (2) compose your answers properly, (3)
avoid erasures, (4) observe proper margin, and (5) review your answers. After all
there are no prizes for early finishers.
AFTER A BAR SUBJECT (OR ENTIRE BAR EXAM)

Do not discuss answers. It is futile because the booklets had already been
submitted and it could greatly affect your performance for the remaining subjects. If
your noble reason on asking about the answers is for you to know the same, I
suggest that you wait until the exam results have been already released. For selfpreservation reasons, for sure you will be anxious and fearful if you would discover
that you have incurred (just for example) 10 mistakes.
