'Equal opportunities': Law graduates in Cagayan de Oro hail regional Bar exams Jul 10, 2021 12:13 PM PHT Herbie Gomez Law graduates in Cagayan de Oro City hailed the Supreme Court's announcement to hold this year's Bar exams in different sites in the country – including one in their city – as a "practical application" of social justice. "This news swept the cloud of uncertainty in my head. No more tossing and turning," said Joan Abelardo Lanzaderas, a fresh law graduate from this city, who planned to take this year's Bar exams. Associate Justice Marvic Leonen announced on Friday, July 9, that at least 16 schools in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao have agreed to become testing centers. The Jesuit-run Xavier University-Ateneo de Cagayan in this city is among them.
