The speaker begins by expressing nervousness about addressing law professors and inspiring soon-to-be bar exam takers. They state that success on the bar exam is not limited to the smartest or those from the best schools. The speaker then outlines two main points: first, that one cannot escape their destiny and will become a lawyer regardless of circumstances, and second, that too much of anything is not good - too much study can destroy one's dreams, and unwise study methods will not help either. The speaker concludes by leaving the audience with an inspiring quote about fireworks continuing to shine forever.

Ladies and Gentlemen good evening!
To be honest with you all, there is a scant of nervousness right now
within me. Considering that I am now facing with our dearest law professors not for the purpose of being grilled with vertical horizon of questions pertaining to provisions of law and cases decided by the High court, but to speak a little of what it is now being a member of the bar and to inspire you guys who are soon to face the bar that would not give you euphoria but rather plethora of thoughts and apprehensions. Don’t worry time would be so hasty on your favor. In the same vein success in being a member of the bar is not a monopoly only to the brightest or to the graduates of the known schools. Bear in mind, that like us, they are also carrying the same brains that we carry each day. Just like a photographer, carrying an expensive camera wont guaranty a perfectly captured photograph. Now let’s go directly to some points that I am going to share to you tonight. I will anchor these points to my belief in destiny and to the saying that too much of everything is not good. Now let me start to the first point, I really believe in destiny and to the fact that you cannot escape your destiny, regardless of whatever circumstances that you may experience. On one hand, applying existing law, under article 157 of the RPC a convicted individual may evade service of his sentence by escaping during the term of his imprisonment by reason of final judgment, however it will subject the said individual to the penalty of prision correctional in its medium and maximum. Escaping one’s destiny on the other hand has no penalty by the simple reason that one cannot just escape his own destiny. And you know, we are all aware here of the maxim Nulla poena sine lege praevia or there is to be no penalty without previous law. In relation to the famous nullum crimen nulla poena sine lege or There is no crime when there is no law punishing the same. When we are destined to become lawyers someday then we will definitely become one sooner or later. Trust me. Just do your thing wisely. My second and last point is about the saying that too much of everything is not good. Say for instance too much sugar intake would lead us to hyperglycemia or an increased blood sugar that would lead to diabetes. So sa mga char2 dha, now you know. Applying that to your quest of becoming lawyers, too much study will destroy your dream. Further, too much offbeat, dysrhythmic and unwise study methods wouldn’t help you go further. Hence, choosing the right materials that would suit your learning is the key. And you know, just study productively, you know what I mean. Trust me, no matter how many times you read a book that is out of your taste is not helpful. In contrast, studying the right material would make you say that studying law is, well, at least not very hard right? Hahaha. And don’t just be contented to a passing grade or score. Do your best, enjoy the competition, I mean, let’s be realistic here. Heheeh. To end this, I would like to leave you an inspiring line from the anime series bleach “ We are like fireworks, we climb, we shine and always go our separate ways and become further apart. But even when that time comes, lets not disappear like a firework, lets continue to shine forever”.
