14 local BAR testing centers bared

The Supreme Court has officially announced the final 14 local testing centers (LTCs) for the 2025 Bar Examinations.

The Office of the 2025 Bar chairperson Associate Justice, Amy C. Lazaro-Javier, made the announcement through Bar Bulletin No. 3, Series of 2025, dated 20 June 2025.

Applicants will be able to view their final LTC assignments on their individual BARISTA accounts starting Tuesday, 24 June.

While applicants’ initial venue choices were considered, the Office of the Bar Chairperson stressed that assignment to a first-choice venue is not guaranteed due to the limited number of available slots at each LTC.

For applicants not assigned to their primary choice, their second and third venue preferences were duly taken into account.

For any concerns or inquiries, applicants are advised to contact the Office of the Bar Confidant Help Desk via bit.ly/2025BarExamsHe or by calling (02) 8552 9690.

Applicants are also encouraged to join the official Viber channel for the 2025 Bar Examinations at bit.ly/3YB5rsI for updates and information.
