Philippine Bar Exam Results Out

Announcement of the results was originally slated at 4 pm but was moved to 6 pm due to a delay in matching the answer sheets with the names of the examinees, according to a SC spokesman.

*As of 6.40 pm, however, the Supreme Court's website crashed and Inquirer.net still has not uploaded the results on its website.

*7.10 pm. SC's homepage is back up but no word on the results yet. What's going on?

*8.45 pm. Agony of waiting continues. My mobile finally died from refreshing inquirer's breaking news page every minute.

*9.00 pm. GMANews.tv was the first to upload the results. I've opened all the links in the SC's website and all of the others were either empty or in the process of uploading.

Out of the 6,364 law graduates who took the exams in September 2008, a total of 1,310 passed.
