The Integrated Bar of the Philippines in Cebu City is urging the Supreme Court to postpone the conduct of Bar examinations in areas affected by Typhoon Odette.
In a joint resolution, the lawyers group said that while they appreciate the decentralization of the Bar examinations, there is a need to postpone its January 2022 schedule to another date to allow typhoon-affected areas in the country to recover.

The Law Schools in Cebu are yet to hear from all their bar candidates,” portions of the joint resolution reads.
