“To each of you who passed, I still remember the hesitant expressions on your faces when we first met, whether during the initial interview or on the first day of class. Look at you now, having reached this incredible milestone,” she said.
She emphasized the sacrifices made by the new lawyers, noting the long hours of study, missed weekends, and intense pressure they endured in preparation for the Bar examinations.
“You deserve every bit of this success. Watching you achieve your dream fills my heart with an indescribable joy. You’re not just my former students anymore; you’re the future guardians of justice in our society,” Deslate-Delicana added.
She also extended words of comfort to those who did not pass, assuring them that the results do not define their worth or capability as future members of the legal profession.
“I know how much you sacrificed for this. This result doesn’t change how much I believe in you. Sometimes the universe just asks us to take a little more time to prepare for the amazing work we’re meant to do. You are not alone in this,” she said, offering her continued support and guidance.
Deslate-Delicana concluded her message by thanking her students for the lessons they taught her as an educator and expressing pride not only in those who passed, but in everyone who completed the demanding Bar examinations.
The Colegio de la Purisima Concepcion College of Law reaffirmed its commitment to producing graduates equipped not only with legal competence but also with compassion, integrity, and a strong sense of justice./PN
