According to the Bar Bulletin 4 series of 2023 released by the Supreme Court, San Beda College-Alabang has been chosen as the national headquarters for the Bar exams.

Additionally, the Supreme Court has outlined the venue selection process for examinees. Each examinee has been assigned a randomized queuing number (RQN) that will determine their time slot and examination schedule.

The venue selection period is as follows: July 24, from 7:00 a.m. to 12 noon (for RQN holders from one to 2,805); 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. (for RQN holders from 2,806 to 5,610); July 25, from 7:00 a.m. to 12 noon (for RQN holders from 5,611 to 8,415); and 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. (for RQN holders of 8,416 and above).

On July 20, 2023, the RQN will be sent to the examinee’s BARISTA account and registered email address.

The Supreme Court bulletin states, “Your right to venue preference is considered waived if you fail to select an LTC within your assigned time slot. In that case, you will be automatically assigned to an LTC in the province or region nearest to your current address or law school, depending on the remaining available slots after the venue selection period.”
