The road to becoming a lawyer is a long, arduous one; and for a Bedan, arguably even more daunting. But it is certainly not a path one has to brave alone.
“Bahagi” is a Filipino word meaning a part. It makes up a whole, the way tiny separate pieces complete a puzzle. It shapes, just as building blocks form something bigger. It is a thread that holds the tapestry together.
In one’s pursuit of that much-desired dot, “Bahagi” represents the stories, the hopes and prayers, and the people coming together to forge the journey.
As its heart, “Bahagi” is nothing short of a love story. It serves as an homage to everyone who has walked the path with our Bar hopefuls. It tells of that sacred bond between a future Bedan lawyer and all the forces that brought them this far and which they, in turn, will carry as they walk toward what lies beyond.
