See you in my next vlog!
I have been watching your videos Atty. , even it's time to sleep I don't feel sleepy whenever I watch your vids. My nerves are awake because of your words. What I love the most about you is your speaking style. I couldn't even hear any fillers and that means a lot to me , it gives me the assurance that you totally know what you're talking about and you're pretty sure of them. Your words are powerful!
Thank you Atty. I loved every second of your vid! It uplifted me somehow and stirred my passion on pursuing law much much more ♡
Lovely Karen thank you!! I love how you called it a "passion". Keep reaching for your dreams! ❣
Finally! I already found this kind of video! Thank you for this 💓
Aw, thanks Angela Bianca!! Thanks for watching :)
I binge watched all your videos! I just love the way you speak! You look so classy with grit and grace! And the thing I love about you the most is that may puntos lahat ng sinasabi mo. I could listen to you all day. Hayyy. Godspeed! 💓
Thank you for being honest about your experiences in law school. Been thinking about going to law school but I think I'm not prepared for the humiliations and constant pressure and I don't wanna end up dropping from 1st semester. Need more time to think and decide. I hope to see this comment again in the future if by any chance I become a lawyer by then. Good luck to other aspirants and God bless! 💪🙏
Thanks also for being honest about your second thoughts! Don't let that fear of humiliation and pressure stop you. All of us in law school were terrified of humiliation... but we all got through it together because we all experienced it (with everyone watching) at some point! I hope you are at peace with your decision, whatever you choose :)
Thank you for your videos,Atty. Tina. ❤️
Hello, Atty.! I recently just subscribed to your channel and just watching a few of your vids gave me so much insight as to what law school is all about and how I can prepare myself better for the semester ahead as a freshman. Thank you for doing this! 🥰
Hello Den, aw thanks! :) Always happy to help a future abogada! Best of luck and I'm always a comment/message away for any questions ⚖📚📃
Hi, Atty. Tina! I am on my final year in UP Law din and I agree with everything you said here.
1. One of my friends is a Biochemistry grad from UP Manila and he's one of the good ones in our block.
2. Grit really is important. Esp during the first year when everyone was still adjusting, and it was just soooo easy to quit because you're not yet that invested. Profs really berated us. And you're correct. At the end of the day, it is your resolve that gets you through.
3. True!!! You must like what you're doing to be able to stay awake at night reading countless cases, and the drive to actually show up in class. I started law school in my late 20's and had a thriving career but left it all because I thought UP Law is just that so worth it. And to this day, I still think it is. Maybe it really is dedication to that goal of becoming an "Atty."
4. Amen! 🙂
5. There were professors who give quizzes. But vast majority do the Midterm-Finals combo. Pero meron ding ilan na final paper na lang, but they're rare specie. 😅
And yes!!! You'll just get the hang of it (being humiliated). Haha!!! Totoong kakapal din talaga mukha mo. And the mock recit! Just so true. Hahaha.
Radyo!!! Ngayon yung Dyaryo, TV na ang tawag. Hahaha. TV - you help your blockmate by typing answer sa Laptop if ikaw ang nasa unahan ng nagrerecite or katabi mo siya. Haha! People get creative and we adapt din with technology to help out blockmates. 😅
It is a crazy experience! A roller coaster ride. Haha. Glad I have to do this one final year na and I am done. Of course Bar pa, but still. Haha!
Thank you again for this vid. New subbie na ako. 😃
Hi Juno! Oh wow, I'm so happy to have a future UP lawyer on here (there are a few of you)! 😊 High five! 😊
Thanks for going point by point. I loved reading all of your comments because they gave me a glimpse of what present-day UP Law is like! Nostalgia! The feels!
I particularly loved two things: how you're so tenacious in the pursuit of your dream (well done, I know that gamble will pay off one day), and "TV" (love how even the most serious iskos and iskas help each other out in such a funny way)! 😂
I have a question pala. One of my subscribers commented recently that the climate in UP Law has become very competitive/ toxic. If true, this is sad because it wasn't like that during my time at all. Is this true based on your experience? (I hope not, may "TV" nga kayo eh) 😅
Hi, Atty. Tina! You should drop by! One of the new changes is that that the first floor of Lib already has a coffee shop, with study area just like the insides of a typical coffee shop, too. It's very cozy. And we have an elevator na rin! Haha!
Aw, you can only imagine the lengths we go to to help each other out. But of course, still within bounds of what is ethical. :)
With regard to competition, I can say that not at all! Well, at least not in my batch and block. I love my blockmates! Even at the outset, we already decided that we're going to do this together (we have block digests, we share materials, and sometimes do tutoring). I can't imagine doing this on my own. Law school is already a gargantuan task as it is that I can't possibly think where they can insert competition pa. I love how difficult classes (and sometimes professors, haha!) can bring the best out of my block and batch. I love studying in UP. ❤💚
@@junogeronimo9422 You guys are awesome! Love the solidarity in UP talaga. I can't imagine being in a dog-eat-dog law school environment, that would just compound alllll the stress and anxiety hahaha. How's are UP Law students handling this Anti-Terrorism Act issue btw? I'm sure you guys are outraged!
Hi, Atty. Tina!
A score of organizations had released statements against this constitutionally violative bill. We also released and signed a joint statement with NUPL denouncing the railroading of this atrocious bill. And a handful of us were communicating po with representatives, imploring them to change their position. The Institute of Human Rights has also released their own statement against the bill. We are waiting for the joint statement of the faculty, but some professors I know have already made their opinion on the bill public (they are all against it).
I have seen your reaction video regarding this bill and I could not have been more proud and thankful po. Thank you for lending your voice. We need more lawyers and law students speaking up against this bill. More power po! ✊
Daamnn UP? Sana all po!
Thank you so much for sharing Atty. Tina take care
Aweee 🥰🥰 I find this very encouraging and thank you po! I’m in battle whether I pursue law or not since my undergrad degree was mktg and operations. But the way you explain everything parang na boost pa yung gusto ko.
Hello Atty. Tina 😍 Your vlogs here at youtube are very inspiring ❤️
I super duper love it. This gives me more ideas as a law student. Looking forward on your future vlogs. ☺️
More power, wisdom, and good health Atty. ❤️🙏
Thanks for this vlog Atty! Im an educ student but I really want to pursue law after. I know it will be hard, but I dont want to add it to my 'what ifs' in the future.
Your words are precise and raw. Thank you po Atty. Tina. New subscriber here . Planning to take law school next year as full-time working student. Prayinggg! 🙏
I would love to know why you pursued Law School Atty! Can't wait for it!
Thanks for the support, girl! Will definitely do this kakaibang storytime soon ☺ Good luck with the rest of the sem! 😊
Tina Amador-Robles I also wanna know about it 🙏🏻
Hi Atty Tina, I learned a lot of things about law school from you, thank you. Can you also make a video for someone wanted to go in law school but too old enough for them or does age really matter in law school? Im 39, planning to study law this year. Thank you and more power! 🙂
Thanks Atty☺ Ang dami ko pong natutunan saiyo🤗
Hi, Atty.! Thank you for all these tips and insights. I have a couple of questions though. Did you read all the books (annotated) for each bar subject cover to cover? Is it possible to pass the bar with just having read the codals? Thank you!
Hi Irvin! Yes, I read all books cover to cover, but it was light reading compared to how I read codals and San Beda Red Notes. Hmm, I think it's possible for someone to pass the bar just having browsed the books and intensely studied Red Notes- but no, I wouldn't say the same for just having read codals. :)
How hard is it to find a job po being a fresh law grad and average bar passer? Did you struggle finding job or what?
new subscriber here :) grabe! so excited to get into law school. I look forward sobraaaaa. God bless po
When Atty said na mga friends mo nageearn na e moving on with their lives, legit yun. Thanks for the video Atty. Napaka linaw ng explain nyo. Salamat po!!
Ma'am is BA Legal Management much fit for Law School?
Im incoming law student this year and I learned alot on your videos as i prepare my self on this journey. I know that too much emotion has no place in law school, but let me say that i cant help falling in love on you whilr watching his video, just dont tell your husband. 😊😅
Hi! New subscriber here! So glad I found you po! Mas namotivate po ako na i-push ang law despite of the course that I was about to take. Btw, magfifirst year college palang po ako hehe. Thank you so much sa tips and advices! 😍
Attorney,what should I do to be confident and shouldn’t be self conscious and be brave?
Im graduating in Finance, i was hoping to get into corporate law. Is it possible for me to become a lawyer if i work while study? Im planning to get into law at 25. Would it be to late?
Attorney, I already submitted an application for the UP LAE 2021. However, I am not sure of what comes next after that. I haven't heard from the application since. I worry that I may have skipped an important part of the application. Should I patiently wait or should I do something? If I have to do something, what step should that be? Sana po mapansin niyo. Thank you.
Hi po Atty. Yung teacher ko kasi noong grade 11 ako is studying law while teaching us, gusto ko lang magtanong kung ganyan po ba yung situation makaka catch up ka pa din ba?
hello, atty! im currently taking up international studies (major in american studies) and i am stuck between shifting into polsci or business studies. what do u think is the better undergrad course between polsci and biz po?
thank you so much & btw your vlogs are very helpful (yay) 💌
Are you shifting for law school? If you are, I honestly don't think your undergrad course matters. Choose something you would enjoy :) But if you really want me to choose between the two, PolSci
Ganda mo Atty! This helps a lot! I dread public speaking too huhu, but if it's God's will. Padayon Tayo future atty! Soon 🙏
Yessss! We all learned to adjust and so will you! Fight! 🖤
Attorney can you make an office tour and have a vlog about the salary of a corporate lawyer. Maybe I am exploring through watching your video and as a G11 student soon getting HUMMS would take a business law in my college. Please help me Attorney.
Ate what if di ka maka complete ng required subjects? Need mo pa po ba mag enroll uli? At kapag ganon, need po ba magbayad ng tuition para magtake ng sample, 3 units po?
You are inspiring me to take law :)
Wow! If you want it, you can totally do it, Sam! :)
I want it and I’ll get it! Sana hehe In God’s time. 🙏🏻
Thank you Ms. Tina for all the tips 🤔😍
That's the spirit! You are driven, I can tell (may Master's Degree pa under your belt)! I'm rooting for you! :)
any updates ?
Hi ma'am! New subscriber❤
I want it but I don't think I can do it :((
The only thing pulling me back from going to law school is the amount of cases that is to be read, and the mechanism or process of digesting them. During my undergrad, we had a subject called Legal Ethics and our professor was an Attorney and he assigned us cases to read so that we could digest them. And as a nursing student, it was overwhelming to read the entire case and understand legal terms I have never heard of. My question is, how does a student coming from the natural science field or any field not related to law, adjust to this reading and digesting cases? Is there a subject in the first year of law school where they teach you this? Or is it just the initiative of the student? And if possible, can you make a video on how to digest cases or do law students really read the entire cases? Thank you. Hope you notice this Attorney.
Hello! No, there is no subject which teaches this, law students just learn as they go along. Yes, law students generally have to read entire cases (not just digests). Don't let that fear of digesting hold you back. I rarely made digests back in law school just because there was no more time to do so after having read all the actual cases! I wouldn't say that digesting cases is a huge part of law school. It actually doubles the time and effort if you read the actual case, plus make a digest of it pa. In law school, it's time you haven't got! Yes, I can do a video on this in the future!
@@TinaAmadorRobles Thank you po Attorney.
Thank you ma’am naiiyak po ako esp sa Myth 3 sharing mo po
To have a background on law or you took a pre law course it might give you an edge on how to understand law, but I would agree that taking law more requires COMPREHENSION.
The only thing that scares me is memorizing uwu
Haha don't be!! You never know what you're capable of until you have no other choice but to do it 💪🏻
@@TinaAmadorRobles and the only thing that scares is my financial thing
There are low tuition schools
PUP
UP

Thankyou att dami kopong natutunan!
Sorry late reply! Thanks also Jannah! :)
Hi, Atty. I admire you. I wanna be a lawyer too.
I think your Bar exam was the most difficult because initially, the passing percentage is only 6% or 361 barristers out of 5000+ students. And then they reduced the passing percentage to 70% and thats when the passing rate reached 17.76%.
Hehehe I've heard this before, you're actually right 😋 Stay safe, Jeffrey!
I really appreciate this vid. since im planning to go to law school,I believe that law school builds a character,i'm afraid of humiliation tho.huhu
Don't be. No one likes humiliation. The desire to become a lawyer just has to be strong enough to overcome the fear of humiliation :)
Thank youu Atty.❤
Grabe atty. Napaka galing nyo po magbigay ng tips. Encouraging and at the same time daming natutunan. Im a fresh engineering graduate and I really wanted to become a lawyer. I feel like I've got so much to offer na hindi masyadong ni required sa engineering. 😞Nakaka motivate po kayo.☺️ Yung emphasis nyo po talaga na law school is a great equalizer ❤️
Hi Ruds, if you want it, go for it! Your engineering background would actually make you an excellent candidate for an intellectual property lawyer. :) I have a video on IP lawyers up!
Vlog about working students in law school please
I really appreciate this video. Thank you so much for talking about failures behind the success. kasi this is really the reality, hindi naman happy everytime. Please make a video about why you proceed to Law School po. thank you
Hello dear!! Thank you!! Agree with your thoughts re: ups and downs! Ganun talaga ang life haha. Sure, will make one :)
ang ganda po ng mata mo
Hello po! I’m struggling to pick my pre-law course po, may mabibigay po ba kayong personal tips para sure sa choice na gagawin thankuuuu
Choose something you are genuinely interested in and will enjoy. Dapat enjoy ang pre-law course, cause pagdating sa law school, you will be doing nothing but buckling down and studying 😂 Choose something with all the required units (see my UP Law tips video) if you don't wanna be hassled taking back units when you're in law school.
Hi att im only g10 what should i read po para makapag ready sa pagiging lawyer?
Im not a. Lawyer or. What but most of the videos that i watched they suggest The Constitution 1987
Atty Tina, pano po kaya? I am a Mechanical Engineering Graduate, I have 12 units in English, 9 units in Social Sciences and I have Rizal. But I lack in HIstory and Economics. I have 3 units in Economics so I still need 6. Will they allow me to take the LAE? And if ever na pumasa how will I complete the lacking units?
Yes, you can still take the LAE and be admitted to UP Law! When I was admitted, I lacked 3 History units. I took them during the summer between 1st and 2nd year of law school! So, totally doable! 🙂
Attorney,what should I do to be confident and shouldn’t be self conscious and be brave?Thank you po,I hope you will respond😊😊
pwede po ba pumasok sa kahit anong law school here in the country ang graduate ng BS Education?
kimmy colo Hello! Yes :) As long as you have the required units (and even if you don't, you can take them while you're already in law school). See my other video on the list of units you must have: ua-cam.com/video/ypxrARQ0tfQ/v-deo.html
Hi, Atty. Tina! I love every single detail you've put into this video and by the way po, off-topic pero while I was watching you talk, I realized you resemble Mina Myoi from Twice! hehehe ang ganda nyo po
Hi girl! I had to Google who that is, wow thank you, I wish! Haha salamat! I'm glad you already have that lawyer aspiration this young! Just keep at it! 🖤
Hello po atty. Freshman BS in Entrepreneurship student po ako. Ano po sa tingin niyo ang pinakaclose na field ng law sa undergrad course ko? Ung tipong mas may advantage ako in terms of subject focus, ganon po🙂
Hello Patricia! Hmm, Corpo Law, although really, the advantage will be very, very little, if any. Once you're lawyers, you're all on equal footing again- unless you're also a CPA. :)
Atty. Meron bang scholarship sa law school Wala kasing sponsor eh kaya gusto ko sana kumoha Ng scholarship ☺️✌️
Ate, 3 years old po ako naattract na talaga ako sa idea na maging lawyer hahahaha : >
Hi, Atty. 😊 have you encountered terror professor in your journey in law school?
So many of them! Justice Leonen for Civ Pro, for example. He used to regularly scream at us (as in not just raising his voice ha, but hardcore screaming) and fly into a rage whenever someone addressed him "you" (he was training us for court kasi). Law school builds character talaga. 😂
Thanks po for sharing your experiences in your journey as law student, Atty. 😊 it’s very informative po.
i don't know po kung makakapag college ako kaya maeexperience ko nalang sya kapag pinapanood kayo
What if po na pursigido po maging lawyer/to study about law but mahina yung reading comprehension? : (
Reading lang talaga, preferably yung favorite mong basahin na genre everyday
Hallo poooo. New Subscriber here! Im a vlogger too and an aspiring lawyer someday. Thankyou for your helpful infos na shinare po sa amin. More subscribers to come po💙
Hi Kim!! Wow, I'm excited for your future as a lawyer vlogger! Vlog ka pag nasa law school ka na ha, I'll watch! Happy to have you here ❤💄
Yiieee thankyou so much pooo. Mas lumakas po yung hope ko na ipersue yung dream ko. More subscribers to come and godbless po sayo and sayong career💙😊
what if i didn't take enough units in english? i checked my transcript and 6 units lang po ang natapos ko. is there a way around it? thank you so much!
Yes, just take the remaining units as soon as you can :) I also lacked 3 units of History and I completed them during summer after 1st year law school
Anong atty po ung nasa court po?
hi atty. tina, i just passed the recent BAR exam and currenly working as a govt employee, my question lng po is is it normal na mdyo nangangapa pa ako s mga work ko as a lawyer?(technically not yet a lawyer kc ndi pa kmi nkakapag-take oath and signed the roll of atty).
s office kc there are 5 of us lawyers including our boss and lately ako lng naiiwan s office kasi ung 3 nsa field or may meeting and ung isa nka maternity leave, tpos may darating from other agencies or dept asking for a legal opinion and most of the time i cannot give an accurate answer(lageh ko n lng sinasabi na sandali lng aaralin ko muna), mdyo frustrating on my part kc nahihiya aq dun s ibang mga staff na non-lawyers kc feeling q they are expecting me to give a quality answer ndi ung aaralin muna. i felt like im loosing confidence kc nga in a layman's perspective ang lawyer dapt magaling.
BTW, eto pong job ko kya q tinanggap kc eto rin po ung first na nag offer sakin and the pay is good pro to be honest d ko tlga feel kc more on political law ung work ko w/c is isa s mga weakness ko s law school and also kinda urges me to take political side(im a very non-partisan person), but because of the current pandemic tinanggap ko n lng din kc need ko rin ng money. If given a chance po maybe in the future, since im also a cpa, i really want to be a corporate lawyer like you, or khit nsa govt din pro at least GOCC. sorry nga pla if this is not related to the topic.
Hello Sed! First of all, congratulations and well done for passing the Bar. :)
Second, it is COMPLETELY normal to not be able to give a legal opinion right away, on the spot. This happens even when you're decades in the practice- even when you're a partner in a big law firm! This is why law firms can rack up billing hours just to answer a client's legal query- because they have to research on it first. Legal questions are RARELY ever on the same topic, and the scope of legal questions is just so incredibly broad (covers any law, any IRR, any government agency, any admin issuance, any case), so it's completely fair that we have to research first so that we can give a correct answer with sufficient legal basis.
Here's a tip (that lawyers do): give your verbal opinion based on your preliminary assessment, but if you're unsure of your answer or would like to add to it, then say that this is subject to your validation or written opinion (which will be to follow).
Re: being a CPA, yes, being a corpo lawyer would really allow you to use your CPA degree. Law firms love CPA lawyers. Don't let your being a CPA prevent you from going into a different non-corpo law specialization, though. I know a CPA lawyer who does litigation, not corpo. At the end of the day, choose a practice you enjoy. :)
atty. @@TinaAmadorRobles thank you po, i really appreciate these advice, it really boost my confidence knowing na nasa normal track pla aq. again thank you and keep safe.
Wow fine arts ka din haha, ust finearts ako haha, retaking the bar next year.
Wow!! Good luck!! :)
New subscriber here Attorney, nice VLOG btw. Now that UP LAE is just around the corner, would you be nice to make a VLOG about some tips on taking up the UP LAE and subsequently UP LAE panel interview? Thanks for your very informative VLOG Attorney. Kudos! :p
Will definitely do this, J! Thanks for the idea. 🙂 Looks like you're considering law school, excited for you!
Yes pls!!! Hope you can make one po ❤️
@@christineroselapada1440 Sure will, dear (and will do it before the LAE)! Thanks for the suggestion! :)
So does that mean i could be a theater arts graduate and go to law school? NICE although i’m still deciding tho........ i really wanna be a musical theater actor and at the same time i want to be a lawyer
Yes, you definitely can :)
Can I work part time po ba while studying law? Or should I work first bago ako umattend ng law school? . Am I too old to study law po ba if maybe 27 na po ako mag start?. Incoming senior high student po ako and di po ako sure if I'll pursue law or just give it up.
Yes, you can work while attending law school. 🙂 There are some schools which are friendlier than others to working student culture, so do your research about the school first. For example, instead of the usual 4 year program, UP Law has a 5 year program exclusively for working students. 27 is not to old to study law, I've had batchmates who were in their 40s! 🙂
@@TinaAmadorRobles thank you po😊❤
What I fear the most in entering law school is that I am not good in english. I really cant compose an essay 😌
Hi Atty. Tina, ang ganda niyo po.❤❤❤
Haha! :)) Thank you, Nino!
Is computer science a pre law course atty??
Yes! "Pre-law course" really just means "college course". To go to law school from whatever your college course is, you just need to have the required undergrad units. I mention those undergrad units in my "UP LAE tips" video :)
Is there age limit when go to law school??
@@crestdelapena6660 Nope!
im coming 26 this year and graduating ..can i work while studying law school?
hi, I'm a Travel management grad or Tourism graduate pwede po ba yun sa Law school or mag Law school ? parang wala pa kasi ako naririnig na meron 😅
Yes! Pls see my "UP LAE Tips" and "Why I went from Fine Arts to Law School" videos.
@@TinaAmadorRobles Thank you. 😊 💞
My philsat pa dn po ba ?
@@redblairsenillo6568 Nope, it was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. No problem! :)
I'm a graduate of HRM! And I want to pursue law
omo, stuck between doctor and lawyer talaga.
You can be both :) There are are a handful who are both!

Hi Lovely! :) Thanks for stopping by! Sure, gagawin ko yan! Hehehe!
Hello po Atty. First of all, Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge about law school. This is a big help for me especially, I'm planning to go to law school. Haha.... But, I have a bit of doubt, as well as nervous if I'm going to pursue it, or not. So, what advice can you give me? Hehehehe.... Or should I say, what are the best persuasion can you give me? Thank you so much Atty. I hope that, there's an immediate response with regards to my quires.
Have a great day ahead!
Godbless you po Atty, as well as your family!😇🙏🏻❤️
Pahabol, you're so pretty, sexy, and cute.☺️🤩
Is Accountancy a good pre-law course po, Atty?
Sorry late reply. Yes!!! CPA lawyers are always in demand. But it requires so much study so just be ready! :)
Thank you po! Hoping to be one soon 🙏🏻
Thanks for this vlog Atty! Im an educ student but I really want to pursue law after. I know it will be hard, but I dont want to add it to my 'what ifs' in the future.
Sorry for the late reply, that is an excellent reason! :)
