HARD WORK!
Senator Salonga stressed the need for the candidate to determine for
himself a definite goal - an objective, to which he must train his
guns from his first year in college up to the time he finally tackles
the bar examination, if he expects to achieve success.
The young educator recalled that when he took up the study of the law
from his freshman year at the state university, he had always nurtured
in himself the secret ambition of topping the bar examination if and
when he takes it. Of course, he admitted, he never deviated from his
objective.
At the same time he confided that while he had this great ambition
within himself, he never breathed it to any soul, much less to the
girl of his dreams at the time.
A smile crept over his face, a smile that outshone his youthful
countenance. You see, he explained, there were possibilities of
failure. No one can really tell whether he can pass the examination,
much less be certain that he will top it.
Senator Salonga shook his head. Many of them in his opinions are no
textbooks at all by any given standards, never fit to be used in the
law colleges.
The dean maintains the view that many of these so-called "textbooks"
are written by what he calls properly as scissors and clipping authors
who do nothing but copy and quote materials after materials here and
there from numerous works written by authors no better than they.
They piece all these clippings together and publish them later to pass
the same as "textbooks". Any high school graduate with ability for
research, capacity to cut clippings can do just as well in the
preparation of similar "textbooks".
