A total of 3,992 or 43.47 percent of the 9,183 law graduates who took the 2022 online and regionalized Bar examinations passed the tests, the Supreme Court (SC) announced on Friday, April 14. The first five of the 31 examinees who got the highest ratings are from the University of the Philippines (UP).
The Philippine National Police’s Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (PNP-CIDG) has ordered a manhunt operation against dismissed Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) chief Gerald Bantag and former BuCor deputy security officer Ricardo Zulueta over the death of inmate Jun Villamor, an alleged middleman in the murder of radio broadcaster Percival “Percy Lapid” Mabasa last year.
Troops from the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and United States Armed Forces will test their interoperability in responding to incidents involving a high number of casualties as part of the ongoing “Exercise Balikatan” 2023.
