2002 Bedan Bar Topnotchers
2002 Bar topnotcher No.3
Eric R. Recalde
No.8 Rex Austria
No.9 George Ortha II
     The San Beda College of Law did it again!
     The three Bedans copped third, eight and ninth place in the top ten list of successful bar examinees. The last time this has occurred was in 1989. In 1985, three ladies earned for San Beda College the same honor.
     Eric R. Recalde bagged third place, garnering an average of 90.3 percent in the much-awaited exam. A native of Sta. Cruz, Bukidnon, he was born on July 2, 1976 to Mr. Pedro R. Recalde and Mrs. Belen Racho-Recalde. He took up Accountancy in San Beda in 1996 and graduated Cum Laude and passed the CPA board exams landing in the 11th place. He was Class Salutatorian of this year's San Beda Law graduates.
     Rex S. Austia Landed in the eight place with an average of 89.05 percent. A native of San Nicolas, Batangas, he was born on January 8, 1973 to Mariano Austria and Herminia de Sagun-Austia. He is guidance counselor and faculty member of San Beda. He ranked seventh among this year's law graduates. He presently resides Sampaloc, Manila.
     George O. Ortha II earned the ninth place, with an average of 89 percent on his exam. He was born to George B. Ortha and Merilyn Orcullo-Ortha. In 1996, he took up Accountancy in San Beda and graduated with Academic Distinction. He is a CPA board passer and ranked 16 in this year's Law Class. He presently resides in Sampaloc, Manila.
     San Beda College of Law has a passing percentage of 84.62 percent. Overall passing percentage for all Law schools is 19.68 percent. Proof that San Beda College is one of the best law schools in the country.
     As a Catholic educational institution, the mission of San Beda College is to produce men and women who are "fully human, wholly Christian and truly Filipino." In the light of this mission, the San Beda College of Law aims to produce lawyers who are learned in the law and who conduct themselves according to Christian principles and to and noblest traditions of the bench and the bar. To realize this objective, San Beda educate the mind to legal provisions and the heart in justice, civic consciousness, and respect for law, authority and human rights.
     After the vicissitudes of World War II, San Beda College decided to expand her role in the higher education of the Filipino Youth, and on July 11, 1948, opened the College of Law. This college began with the first year of the law course and progressively opened upper classes from year to year. Ultimately, the full four-year course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Laws was offered on June 25, 1951 when the fourth year was offered for the first time.
     The San Beda method of instruction is based on the combined lecture and question-and-answer. This has proved to be more successful in effecting the harmonious development of the student's potential in reasoning and exposition. The restatement of the codal provisions is followed by a discussion of the basic philosophy underlying the same, and winds up with an analysis of the classic jurisprudence exemplifying the application of the legal doctrine involved. The professors lecture on the fine as well as the doubtful points of law, the propre interpretation, construction, harmonization and application of apparently conflicting legal theories and bring the students up to date in the latest judicial rulings. Individual attention is given to each student. Handicaps, personal traits and other circumstances are properly evaluated, to the end that the studies of every student may be channeled along the branch of law to which he is best suited.
