Ilang Bar examinees ang na-disqualified dahil sa paglabag sa mga polisiya na naitakda at nai-post ng Office of the Bar Chairperson at kanilang honor code, ayon sa Supreme Court ngayong Linggo.
Sa isang Bar bulletin, ibinunyag ni Associate Justice Marvic Leonen na ilang examinees ang nakapasok sa local testing centers nang hindi idineklara na sila ay tinamaan ng coronavirus, aniya, “they had previously been infected with COVID-19, smuggled mobile phones inside the examination rooms and accessed social media during lunch break inside the premises.”
“For their infractions, I am exercising my prerogative as Bar Chairperson to disqualify these examinees from the 2020/21 Bar Examinations. I take my constant message of honor to the examinees seriously,” pahayag ni Leonen.
“I owe it not only to those who risked their lives just to make the 2020/21 Bar Examinations happen despite all odds, but most especially to those examinees who could have taken the Bar Examinations were it not for their positive COVID-19 test results,” dagdagng associate justice.
Gayunman, ayon sa opisyal, ang kanilang disqualification ay para lamang sa 2020/21 Bar Examinations.
“For now, reflect on what you have done, but know that you can still change your narrative. You will not end up as the examiner who lost your honor forever in your desperation to pass an examination. Learn from your mistake, and earn your honor back,” payo ni Leonen sa mga na-disqualified na examinees.
Sinabi rin ni Leonen na mayroong 219 Bar examinees na hindi nakakuha ng exams dahil na sila ay nagpositibo sa test sa COVID-19.
Inisyal na nakaiskedyul ang Bar exams noong Enero 23 at 25, 2022, subalit iniurong ng Pebrero 4 at 6, 2022 dahil na rin sa pag-iingat laban sa coronavirus.
May mga health workers naman sa mga Bar exam venue entrances para kumuha ng body temperature ng mga examinees at upang tiyakin na nasusunod ang minimum health at safety protocols.
