From grueling late-night case digests and rigorous recitations to the threshold of the highest professional test, the Manuel L. Quezon University (MLQU) School of Law once again demonstrated its formidable institutional solidarity during the annual Bar Send-Off.
Carrying the fierce institutional battlecry “Ad Victoriam, MLQU”—meaning “To Victory, MLQU”—the university community formally rallied behind its 2026 Bar examinees. Building upon the strong foundations of last year’s successful “Ad Summum” (To The Top) campaign, this year’s gathering transcended traditional ceremonial bounds, evolving into a profound convergence of spiritual grounding, academic mentorship, and community-wide encouragement.
The 2026 Philippine Bar Examinations are scheduled across three rigorous examination days on September 6, 9, and 13, 2026, featuring two comprehensive subjects per examination day. Recognizing the immense physical, mental, and emotional toll required of candidates, the MLQU administration, faculty, and alumni mobilized a comprehensive institutional support system to ensure every examinee steps into the examination halls fully equipped and deeply inspired.
The Send-Off Mass: Grace and Spiritual Fortitude
A specialized Mass was organized to dedicate the special intentions of all MLQU bar examinees. Designed to offer a sacred space for prayer, reflection, and community blessing, the liturgy ensured that examinees felt spiritually fortified. To maintain total inclusivity, a Zoom livestream was activated, allowing examinees, families, and remote supporters to join the spiritual milestone in real-time.
Words of Encouragement from the Legal Vanguard
Wisdom met experience as esteemed law professors, successful 2025 Bar passers, and Atty. Charmagne Cuevas (Director for Bar Operations, Academic Initiatives, and Marketing) delivered powerful, empowering messages. Their addresses bridged the gap between academic preparation and professional triumph, providing practical insights and steady reassurance.
Comprehensive Bar Kit Distribution
The send-off served as the official launchpad for the distribution of exclusive MLQU Bar Kits meticulously prepared by the Centralized Bar Operations. Packed with essential testing gear and morale-boosting tokens, the kits symbolize the tangible backing of the entire university family.
“You have prepared for this moment. Now, go into the Bar knowing that the entire MLQU community is behind you every single step of the way.” — MLQU School of Law Administration & Bar Operations
More than a formal send-off, the event served as a powerful reminder of the Quezonian legacy—one built on perseverance, excellence, and unwavering brotherhood. As our candidates face the three-day examination journey, they carry not only their personal aspirations and years of tireless studying, but also the collective hopes of the entire MLQU community.
The university stands proud, united in faith and purpose. Ad Victoriam, MLQU!
