MANILA, Philippines — A 2024 Bar exam passer on Friday finally fulfilled her late father’s dream of becoming a lawyer.
Caselyn Correa shared that she was named after “case” because her father wanted her to be a lawyer.
“Sa papa ko, nasa taas na siya. Sana masaya na si papa,” said Corey in an interview with the media.
(My father is already in heaven. I hope he is happy now.)
Correa also said that she passed the Bar examinations on her third try. Initially reluctant to retake it, she found the resolve to try again, dedicating her success to her mother.

Correa was accompanied by her mother as they waited for the results of the examinations to be flashed on the LED screens inside the courtyard of the Supreme Court.
