The designation marks the third time that the Muntinlupa-based institution will serve as the operational headquarters for the annual Bar Examinations, highlighting the Supreme Court’s confidence in the school’s ability to provide the facilities, logistical support, and administrative coordination necessary for the successful conduct of the country’s most important licensure examination for aspiring lawyers.

Leonen, who was serving as Acting Chief Justice at the time of the signing, together with representatives from San Beda College Alabang.

The Bar Examinations remain one of the most anticipated professional licensure tests in the country, representing the final hurdle for law graduates seeking admission to the Philippine Bar. Every year, thousands of aspiring lawyers devote months, and often years, to preparing for the highly demanding examinations, making the event a cornerstone of the country’s legal profession.
