The event served as an opportunity for the University, the College of Law, faculty members, administrators, families, and the University community to express their support, encouragement, and well wishes to the 2026 Bar examinees as they prepared for the Bar Examinations.

The program began with an opening message from Administrative Dean Atty. Gerardo S. Garcia, followed by a message of support from College of Law Dean Atty. Ferdinand S. Nicolas, who conveyed the College and University's encouragement to the aspiring lawyers.

The event also featured a message from the Bar Operations Team – COL-SO Officer, followed by the “Words of Hope and Grit” shared by members of the College of Law faculty. The program concluded with a prayer for the Bar examinees led by Dr. Nikki Boy Valdez.
