A statement from DOLE Sudnay, July 18, said Bello was “set to take on the challenge” of heading the group representing both the powerful and the small governments of the world in the ILO.
“I think all previous labor secretaries had wished of getting elected chairman of the ILO group. Our chairmanship this year is unprecedented, the first in the history of the century-old ILO,” Bello said.

Chief Justice Alexander G. Gesmundo said on Thursday, July 8, the licensure examinations for law graduates should be maintained because “the legal profession is vested with public interest.”
“We should see to it that only those who are fit and qualified to join the ranks of the legal profession meet the standards required of them,” Gesmundo stressed.
At the same time, the Chief Justice said: “There is a specific rule under Rules of Court that provides the mandatory taking of bar exams as well as its coverage. As long as it is in the Rules of Court, we have to comply with it.”
