Vice President Leni Robredo told 2020/21 Bar exam takers to "enjoy the ride" and avoid panicking despite the uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Robredo, a lawyer for the downtrodden before she joined politics, said thetwo-day exam period instead of the usual four days would be difficult for the examinees.
