Centurion - PLS Bar Operations

Preparing for the Bar means preparing the whole person.

This coming weekend, the Centurion Bar Operations Commission officially commences its Pre-Bar Lecture Series, beginning with sessions on Mental Well-Being, Stress-Proofing, and Confidence — designed to help our Centurion barristers strengthen not only their legal knowledge, but also their emotional resilience, focus, and inner steadiness for the months ahead.

Headlining this weekend’s sessions is Dra. Nina Kristy “Nikki” Osorio-Grapilon, a board-certified psychiatrist and Fellow of the Philippine Psychiatric Association, whose work centers on mental wellness, emotional resilience, psychotherapy, counseling, and compassionate patient care. With her clinical background in helping individuals manage stress, anxiety, and emotional challenges, Dra. Nikki brings a timely and meaningful perspective to the Bar journey — reminding our barristers that psychological readiness is an essential part of preparation.

This is only the beginning. Throughout the month of May, the Centurion Bar Operations Commission will continue to roll out more Pre-Bar Lecture Series sessions aimed at equipping our barristers with the academic, practical, and personal tools they need as they move closer to the 2026 Bar Examinations.
The road to the Bar can be demanding, but no barrister should have to face it feeling overwhelmed or alone. Through this lecture series, we aim to remind our future Centurion lawyers that mental well-being is part of Bar readiness, and that confidence is built through preparation, support, discipline, and the courage to keep going.

As we move forward toward , may our barristers continue to prepare with clarity, resilience, hope, and grit.

A first—and a meaningful one at that.

The Philippine Law School recently held its 1st Testimonial Dinner in Palawan, celebrating the 30 Centurion lawyers who now form part of the growing PLS community in the region.

More than a gathering, it was a moment of recognition: of journeys completed, sacrifices made, and a shared commitment to the legal profession. Seeing Puerto Princesa and Palawan so strongly represented reflects what PLS continues to stand for: building access, expanding reach, and bringing legal excellence beyond traditional centers.

The presence of our Dean José Aguila Grapilon and Associate Deans AC Galamgam and Earl Louie M. Masacayan together with PLS Alumni President Liway Leonardo made the occasion even more significant. Their support and personal engagement serve as a powerful reminder to our students and alumni alike—that they are seen, supported, and part of something larger.

To our newest lawyers in Palawan: this is only the beginning.

And to the community that continues to grow with us—PLS is showing up where it matters, and making it count.

Special thanks to our Bar Ops Luzon Rep Anna Angelica Hung for the photos and video!
