TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE (Message delivered during the Testimonial Program for New Lawyers of Vigan on July 6, 2009)

We have started a tradition, not of conducting testimonials for passers of the bar but a TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE. The bar examination is one of the hardest, if not the hardest, government examinations being administered in the Philippines and this is the last step before a law graduate can practice the law profession.
Do we really need lawyers in our country ? Whether we like it or not, lawyers perform an important role in our community. Through them, justice is expected to be dispensed effectively. Through them, rights are expected to be upheld. Through them, equality and fairness are expected to be given where it is due.

We are proud of you, Atty. Cajigal, Atty. Favis and Atty. Centeno. We join your families and loved ones in this simple but meaningful ceremony.

CONGRATULATIONS!
