Aspiring lawyers were greeted by their loved ones with cheers and smiles as they came out of the testing centers on Sunday, the last day of the four-day 2024 Bar Exams.
In a video by Super Radyo DzBB reporter Sam Nielsen, supporters of Bar examinees were seen carrying flowers, balloons, and tarpaulins as examinees exited the University of Santo Tomas, one of the local testing centers.
Drums were also being played to complete the festive mood.
Nielsen reported that the southbound road from Lacson Street to España Boulevard is closed while there is heavy traffic along the northbound.
