Below are excerpts from the words of wisdom coming from Justice Dante O. Tinga, chairperson of the Philippine Supreme Court committee on the 2008 bar examinations, delivered during the oath-taking ceremonies of the successful examinees held at the Philippine International Convention Center Manila on April 28, 2009:
“Let me paraphrase Albert Einstein when he spoke of the universe. What is incomprehensible about the law is that it is comprehensible. You have proven that idea correct.”
“Study, study, and more study. Be prepared. Be ready. Plan ahead.”
“Know all the Canons of Professional Responsibility at heart. I say, at heart, so, internalize, not just memorize.”
“Be fair and reasonable. Be honest. Be a good example.”
