MANILA, Philippines - The Supreme Court (SC) will release on Friday the results of last year's Bar examinations held at the De La Salle University in Manila last September.

Supreme Court spokesman Jose Midas Marquez told GMANEWs.TV that the list would come out early in the evening of Friday - if not late in the afternoon - after an en banc session of the justices.

During the said session, the Bar chairman will present the results as well as the statistics for the September examination, pending the release approval from the other justices.

Only then will the examination booklets be matched to their respective owners, eventually coming up with the final list of Bar passers.

During the en banc session, the justices will also decide on whether to approve April 28 as the date for the oath-taking ceremony, Marquez added.

The list of Bar passers will be projected on three wide screens at the Supreme Court compound with the names of the passers scrolled in alphabetical order.

Marquez said the list of the Bar passers would likewise be posted immediately on their official website.

"We will upload the list about 10 to 15 minutes after the results are revealed at the SC. And we expect heavy traffic that's why we would be putting up mirror sites to accommodate the flow of visitors," Marquez said.

Later in the day, the Supreme Court will post on its website a media advisory, giving instructions on how to obtain a soft copy of the list for posting on online news websites.

Also in the afternoon, the high court will be coming up with a summary list of the passing percentage in the Bar examinations over the years beginning 2000 for public reference.
