The Supreme Court has advised all 2017 Bar passers and those attending the oath-taking on Friday, June 11, 2018, at the Philippine International Convention Center, CCP Complex in Pasay, to observe proper decorum or face contempt of court.
2017 Bar Examinations Committee chairman Associate Justice Lucas P. Bersamin said that SC security officials and personnel have been deputized to ensure the safe and orderly conduct of the event and expressly authorized to prevent or reprimand any violations of the orderly conduct of the oath-taking rites.
“Any act that undermines the safe and orderly conduct of the Oath-Taking Ceremonies or disturbs the due decorum therefor shall be punished with direct contempt of court, and shall be dealt with summarily,” Bersamin said, in an advisory.
