Who da Monster?!

 

Sinong Halimaw??! SINONG HALIMAAAWWW???!!!

My Kuya, the greatest brother in the whole wide universe, just passed the UP Law Aptitude Exam!

Now, to give you a background of LAE (Law Aptitude Exam), it's only the most sought-after exam in the metro. Maraming pumapatay just to pass the UP LAE. Meron ngang ibang aspiring lawyers na ang motto is, "It's UP or nothing". Eh pano ba naman, UP's only one of the best, if not the best, Law Schools in the whole country!

To give you an idea how hard it is to get to UP LAW, an estimate of 4,000 people take the test every year, and only around 170 people are chosen to be admitted. Half of those are admitted automatically upon release of results, while the other half are sifted through interviews.

Now, to give you an idea how MONSTROUS this Kuya of mine is, let's give you his background.

My Kuya's (Luis Jose F. Geronimo) a graduate of Political Science from the Ateneo. He already took the LAE last 2004, but due to some personal reasons, he decided not to pursue it. When he passed his first LAE, he was automatically admitted, meaning he's in the top 60 or so and he need not undergo the interview. Now, when you don't have to undergo the interview, then you're the bomb.

When he first took LAE, he took 1 month of review sessions from a center. However, this year, due to some difficulties as well, he was only able to review for the exam for one week. However, when results came out, AGAIN, he's one of the Top 60 or so who need not be interviewed to qualify. TWICE!!! He did it TWICE!!! Ngayon kung hindi pa sya halimaw, ewan ko na lang!

The son of Miriam Defensor-Santiago allegedly killed himself because he didn't pass UP LAE (or my story could be twisted, please do verify).

The Summa Cum Laude of UP Political Science Dept. didn't pass LAE when he took it last year.

My brother had gone through a lot of difficulties and trauma, had only one week to prepare for the exam, has graduated PolSci for over 2 years (Cum Laude "only"), had difficulty answering the essay part because his hand was numb, plus the pressure of ending up nowhere if he doesn't pass the exam.

And you know what? He did. HE ACED the exam, ate it like some peanuts sold in the street. It was a piece of cake for him. He passed! He's gonna be my schoolmate!!!

I am so damn proud of my Kuya, and that's why I want the whole world to know about it!
